The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, has vowed to deal with Besigye if he does not stop what he called idiotic and nonsensical demonstrations in Kampala. Museveni said Besigye has no more plans to oust him describing their move as bankruptcy of the opposition.



In a question and answer session with journalists at his home in Rwakitura, the President wondered how Besigye’s demonstration will bring down inflation.

He noted that the opposition can only scare away investors to the country due to the instability and stop farmers from transporting their goods to Kampala thus the price increase in food and fuel prices.

Museveni said government and the police shall not tolerate Besigye’s walk to work protest because he is attracting unwanted attention and looting of property.

He added that if anyone went and demonstrated at his farm, he would spear him.

The President said the government has very capable hands to deal with Besigye’s idiocy since they are using any pretext to cause trouble.

He lashed at the media for giving Besigye live coverage likening it to a football match.

When asked on whether he should have dialogue with Besigye to stop the demonstrations, President Museveni said there is no need for it. Instead Besigye should use the Interparty Coalition to address his grievances
