Uganda is Preparing for Another Dictator

Dictatorship is surely in the blood of Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and it seems his family is the next of keen in both his properties and dictatorship as well.

A clear sign of dictatorship was clearly seen as one Ugandan journalist had to go on his knees to secure an interview with Yoweri’s son.

A picture that was captured of a journalist on his knees interviewing Yoweri’s son while he was sitting next to his wife has, however, elicited mixed reactions among many people.

Below are some reactions:

“What was he supposed to do? Stand and bend pointing his butt(ocks) to who? Muhoozi’s wife or the other man? Some things need common sense,” one Dorothy Bonge commented.


“Since it’s Muhoozi it’s not fine to people, but it’s very okay if it is Kabaka (the King),” said Roonix Mutegeki.


“If his (the journalists) wife and children see that picture, they will know what it means working for the family,” Sylvier Byabisajja commented.


The photo by the Daily Monitor captured Uganda Broadcasting Corporation’s Gyakenda Semakula in an unconventional poise while interviewing the Ugandan First Son who is seated next to wife at a public function.

The incident happened at an event where Muhoozi and 65 other officers of the Ugandan Army, who were recently promoted, got decorated.

Muhoozi who is now the Liutenant General is believed to be his father’s possible successor.
