Kampala Minister and former FDC leader Beti Kamya has dismissed threat of Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) to President Yoweri Museveni’s government.
Kamya quit opposition politics for government after ridiculing Dr. Kizza Besigye and the party who sidelined her during the election process.
The Kampala minister who appeared on NBS TV, Thursday, brushed off: “After the Besigye wind, then came the Amama Mbabazi wind, he was also powerful but they all came and left. Bobi Wine will come and go.”
Kamya said: “But the most important thing is that the international community try to rally behind this wind. Mbabazi and Besigye weren’t an attractive race to back in terms of LGBT unlike Bobi Wine who is attractive.”
The minister taunted: “The people power movement is a wind that will go. Forget about Bobi Wine, Kizza Besigye had wind, it’s what threatened the government and the president took him seriously.”
Kamya said: “The people who wanted and still want change are the opposition. The majority of Ugandans have voted through a referendum for NRM.”
