I have been polite enough. I donβt 'kuwemula' (SHAME) people. All non-performers must leave leadership. Leadership is not about ego but about the people and the country. @KagutaMuseveni#SONA26
βOnce you say that you are a leader, you are putting problems on yourself. If you are a bad leader, God will not be happy with you, I can assure you of that. Either you lead, or you stay in your home.β
