Museveni must go, says Kanyeihamba

President Museveni, in power since 1986, is way past his sell-by date and shouldn’t stand at the next election if Uganda’s political stability is to be guaranteed, a Supreme Court judge and former political ally has said. In the final part of an interview with Daily Monitor, Justice George Wilson Kanyeihamba, a former Attorney General who retires from the bench in November, said Mr Museveni had reached his “academic political ceiling”. Justice Kanyeihamba said: “I must be honest and say President Museveni is exhausted. I won’t talk much about his exhaustion but the evidence is clear; when you see him on TV, when he is in meetings, you see the man is totally exhausted.” Mr Kanyeihamba’s comments come after President Museveni, who is preparing to stand for his fourth election in 2011, told MPs from his National Resistance Movement party that he was yet to identify a suitable successor from within the party’s top officials. The Supreme Court judge’s comments are likely to draw a strong response from President Museveni who has always insisted, especially as he worked to lift the two-term limit on the presidency in 2005, that he should be allowed to remain in office for as long as most Ugandans vote for him. Senior NRM officials have also repeatedly said the decision of the party’s presidential candidate should be left to its members and their delegates’ conference. Whereas President Museveni’s supporters say he has achieved political stability, economic growth and improved standards of living, his critics argue that many of those gains are being lost as the government’s attention shifts to regime survival. In the final part of the interview that has been serialised in this newspaper since Monday, Justice Kanyeihamba accuses President Museveni of personalising the achievements of the NRM government, and failing to build institutions and groom suitable successors to take over the party and the country. Justice Kanyeihamba, who is set to retire after 13 years on the bench, was the brains behind the extension of the NRM government in 1989 as well as part of the team in the Constituent Assembly that helped draw up the Constitution. He fell out with the government after he started openly criticising its governance credentials – the reason, he says, he was blocked from two prestigious jobs at the African Court of Human and People’s Rights and as Chief Justice of the Republic of Seychelles – and was one of three judges who ruled, unsuccessfully, for the annulment of the disputed 2006 election.

Great Leaders ;Nyerere fit to be a saint -Museveni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nyerere fit to be a saint — Museveni Monday, 1st June, 2009 E-mail article E-mail article Print article Print article Mkapa, Lwanga, Baharagate and Magige after the prayers. Behind them are President Museveni and First Lady Janet Mkapa, Lwanga, Baharagate and Magige after the prayers. Behind them are President Museveni and First Lady Janet By Raymond Baguma PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has supported the ongoing campaign in the Catholic Church to have former Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere recognised as a saint. The campaign to bestow sainthood on Nyerere began on January 26, 2006 when the Vatican accepted a request from the Bishop of Musoma in northern Tanzania to canonise the late leader. The Vatican then granted him the title of ‘Servant of God.’ Museveni yesterday praised Nyerere for uniting the different religious groups in Tanzania and advancing Swahili as a common language to unite the ethnically diverse country. Today, Tanzania is the most peaceful country in Africa with no civil wars, Museveni observed. He was speaking during special prayers, held at Catholic Martyrs’ shrine in Namugongo, for the beatification of the late Mwalimu. Mass was celebrated by the Archbishop of Kampala, Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, and Bishop Emeritus Edward Baharagate. Former Tanzanian president Benjamin Mkapa was among the dignitaries present. The Nyerere family was led by the widow, Maria Gabriel Magige. The family and many Tanzanians donned scarves with Kiswahili messages calling for Nyerere’s canonisation. They also wore uniform wrappers. The choir from Marian Faith Healing Centre in Dar-es-Salaam sang Kiswahili hymns. After mass, Museveni narrated his first meeting with the former leader when he was still a student at Dar-es-Salaam University in 1968. “He was blessed with extraordinary wisdom and compassion for the oppressed. He loved freedom and unity for all people, and he was a fearless freedom fighter.” He said during the 1970s, Nyerere supported freedom movements in Vietnam, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Angola, Namibia as well as Uganda. Museveni also pointed out that Nyerere’s role was instrumental in the restoration of peace in Burundi. “He was like the Ugandan martyrs who stood for truth against sin; even at the expense of their lives. I join those who are praying for the canonisation of Mwalimu as a saint. He was not only a freedom fighter, he was also a man of God.” Mkapa, who was Tanzania’s third President, praised the fact that Nyerere always remained humble. “I stayed with him from 1966 until his passing away. He was a leader of the independence struggle. He abhorred being worshiped. He knew he was human and lived like any other being.” Prayers for Nyerere’s canonisation, organised by the widow, have been conducted at the Namugongo shrine since 2007. Hundreds of Tanzanian, Kenyan and Rwandan pilgrims are currently in the country to commemorate Uganda Martyrs’ Day, celebrated annually on June 3.
