What a disgusting statement from Uganda's VP-elect:
“I will support Museveni like it or not. Museveni has moulded me, he has taught me politics, he is my political mentor and I cannot leave him. Where would I go if I decided to leave Museveni?”

I Started 3rd Term Talk, Says Bukenya
By Edris Kisambira
VICE President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya said yesterday that he initiated the third-term talk and he cannot stop it.
Speaking in Luganda at Kakiri at the launch of a Euros1.1m food security project, Bukenya said, “Nze natandika okwogera ku kisanja ekyokusatu, ate nyinza ntya okutandika okugaana abantu oku’kyogerako? (I initiated the third term talk, how can I then come out and try to stop it?).”
Bukenya, who hosted the European Union (EU), Italian and Chinese ambassadors was reacting to a lead story in The Monitor newspaper of Friday that said he had stopped people from agitating for a third term for President Yoweri Museveni. “Yesterday (Thursday) we were in Namayumba launching a new malaria drug. I did not mention anything to do with the third term but The Monitor has come out with a story that is contrary to what happened. The Monitor’s headline today should have been like ..... Bukenya launches new malaria drug,” he said.
“Writing wrong sensational news is what is going to bring us trouble. Newspapers should not write headlines to disturb and cause us problems. If there is nothing to write about, nothing should be written. I think it was confusing, and could result into divisions in the country.” Ambassadors Sigurd Illing, Li Qiangmin and Maurizio Teucci were present.
Bukenya spoke passionately about Museveni saying that he is stuck with Museveni and that he will never forsake him for whatever reason.
“I will support Museveni like it or not. Museveni has moulded me, he has taught me politics, he is my political mentor and I cannot leave him. Where would I go if I decided to leave Museveni?”
