“The Entire Kyagulanyi Gang Must Perish In Extreme Pain For Mocking The Medical Condition Of Moses Ali” Charles Rwomushana Roars

Ugandan political analyst Charles Rwomushana has strongly criticized the National Unity Platform (NUP) and its supporters for mocking the health of Gen Moses Ali, a veteran politician and long-time ally of President Yoweri Museveni. The backlash came after a video went viral on social media showing the elderly general in a wheelchair, visibly weak, as he picked up his nomination forms to contest in the 2026 general elections.

Gen Moses Ali was warmly received by his supporters in Adjumani, where he confirmed his intention to run again despite his frail health. However, some NUP supporters and social media users quickly turned the video into an opportunity for mockery, ridiculing his physical condition in posts that many found offensive and heartless.

Appearing on a local talk show, Rwomushana did not hold back his frustration. He described the mocking behavior as a sign of “political immaturity” and “ideological emptiness” within NUP. “Mocking an elder in that condition is a total disgrace,” he said. “Politics should not become a platform for cruelty and disrespect. Gen Ali, regardless of political differences, has served this country and deserves dignity.”

Rwomushana also questioned the silence of NUP leaders, particularly party president Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine. He challenged the leadership to publicly condemn the actions of their supporters. “This silence is dangerous. It suggests approval. Leadership is more than just singing freedom songs; it’s about teaching discipline and respect,” he stated.

The analyst further warned the youth against making fun of people’s health, saying such behavior is inhumane and short-sighted. “Today it is Gen Ali, tomorrow it could be you or someone you love. Illness is not something to celebrate in others,” he said.

Rwomushana’s emotions also spilled over onto social media, where he made a controversial post declaring that those who mock medical conditions “must perish in extreme pain.” His post sparked a mix of reactions, with some supporting his anger and others criticizing his harsh tone.

As of now, NUP has not released any official statement responding to Rwomushana’s comments or addressing the online behavior of some of its followers. While many Ugandans supported the call for respectful politics, others defended the reactions as part of the wider frustration with the country’s aging leadership.

This incident has highlighted the growing tension in Uganda’s political space and the urgent need for civility in public debate. As the country moves closer to the 2026 elections, voices like Rwomushana’s are calling for political players to rise above insults and focus on mature, issue-based engagement.
