NUP MP Kagabo Jubilates After Meeting Museveni At State House , Reveals Why Museveni Is Wiser Than Bobi Wine

In the corridors of power, where political tides ebb and flow, an unexpected convergence occurred between two figures emblematic of Uganda’s political landscape. Twaha Kagabo, a stalwart of the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP), found himself traversing the threshold of State House Entebbe to meet none other than the venerable Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Chairman of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) and incumbent President of Uganda.

The encounter unfolded against the backdrop of a parliamentary caucus gathering at State House, where Twaha Kagabo was extended the courtesy of a special invitation.

As he stood amidst the NRM faithful, he seized the moment to share his reflections on the experience, characterizing it as an honor to engage with the political establishment.

In the midst of discourse on governmental agency rationalization and the perils of redundancy, Kagabo praised President Museveni who seized the opportunity to impart wisdom to his unexpected guest. With a sagacity befitting his tenure, Museveni espoused the teachings of Adam Smith, urging Kagabo and his compatriots to delve into “The Wealth of Nations.”

According to Kagabo, This seminal work, penned by the Scottish economist and philosopher in 1776, remains a cornerstone of economic thought, posing fundamental inquiries into the nature and acquisition of wealth.

Embedded within the President’s counsel lay a poignant query that resonated with Kagabo and echoed beyond the confines of State House: How do people become rich? It was a question that transcended partisan lines, compelling leaders to introspect and contemplate the mechanisms of prosperity.

Hon Kagabo says that as he departed from the hallowed halls of power, he carried with him not only the weight of President Museveni’s words but also the Swahili aphorism imparted upon him: “Jicho linalotazama kwenye jua hali amrishwe kupepesa” – meaning that the eye that gazes at the sun must not be commanded to blink.

Kagabo says It was a metaphorical call to steadfastness, a reminder to remain resolute in the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and the betterment of the nation, even in the face of adversity.
