None can overthrow Museveni- Mukula
By Richard M. Kavuma
Captain Mike Mukula has warned people plotting armed rebellion that they can never topple President Yoweri Museveni�s government.Mukula, the minister of State for Health, said last week that the longest serving (Movement) government in Uganda�s history would never fall to any rebel group.
Mukula was launching the Roll-Back-Malaria Programme at Kakiri in Wakiso.
In apparent reference to former presidential candidate Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye, Mukula warned against warmongers.
�The other day I heard people telling you things. But no one can harass Ugandans. I tell you it is very difficult to get a president who goes to the war front,� the minister said in Luganda.
And he was not done yet.
�Can you imagine that someone [Besigye] who wants to be president of this country was asked whether or not he supported Kony and he refused to answer the question?�
In his latest paper posted on the Internet Besigye said conditions in Uganda were could justify a war.
Mukula listed rebel factions and leaders the UPDF (formerly NRA) had defeated.
�There was Peter Otai - we defeated him. There was Odongo Latek - we defeated him. There was Aggrey Awori and his Force Obote Back - we defeated him.�
He also cited Alice Lakwena and her father; UPDF�s renegade Maj. Herbert Itongwa, Uganda National Rescue Front, West Nile Bank Front and the Allied Democratic Forces.
