The fact that as vice-chairman of the ruling Military Commission, he was the countryâs number two citizen did not save Yoweri Museveni from the humiliation of being harassed by soldiers at a roadblock. This was just before the 1980 presidential elections, at the infamous Kireka roadblock.
Museveni was travelling together with his wife Janet and son Muhoozi, when a group of Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) soldiers managing the roadblock at Kireka stopped them and ordered them out of their vehicle. âI think they meant to kill us. Some of my comrades had to use force to rescue us,â narrate s Museveni in his autobiography Sowing the Mustard Seed.
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
