MBARARA - A University don here has accused President Yoweri Museveni of alleged double standards. �Museveni degazetted part of Lake Mburo National Park and resettled there Bahima that came from Luwero after the war, but sent away Bakiga who had settled in Mpokya game reserve,� Father Adrian Mwesigye said at a one-day seminar at Mbarara Catholic Social Centre on Thursday. It was organised by the Foundation for African Development (FAD).Mwesigye is a lecturer and chaplain at Mbarara University of Science and Technology. �As we speak now the Bakiga, displaced from Kibaale district, have spent more than four months at Lugogo Cricket Ground in Kampala,� he said. Mwesigye said that when Museveni�s government came to power, it enacted a law against sectarianism but that the president is the same person practicing it. �The Bahima who invaded Teso wetlands are still there�Are Bakiga not Ugandans?� the Catholic father asked, provoking applause from the participants, mainly from Mbarara and Bushenyi districts. |
