While in countries like Malawi, the President cracked the whip and sacked ministers and officials who were involved in the fraud, Museveni has reappointed or even elevated officials who have chosen to enrich themselves at the expense of the lives of Ugandans.
So here we are! Oxygen, not enough. ICU beds, only 218 in the whole country! Ambulances, not enough. Gen. Museveni had the audacity to say he asked officials to have 42,000 beds which wasn't done. How could they when they were busy looting the funds meant to manage the pandemic?
Those who are unlucky to get very sick are asked to pay 5 million shillings every day in a country where most citizens have no health insurance! A complete mess. Shame!!! During the election, in almost every district, we found brand new police vehicles and teargas trucks!
We found poorly paid police officers carrying brand new guns! You all remember how much money in billions was spent 'buying off' some of our supporters! This is what the regime does. They don't care about your healthcare or welfare. All they care about is how to keep in power.
Faced with increasing deaths and people in critical condition, Museveni imposed another lockdown for 42 days! The number of extremely poor and vulnerable Ugandans has increased. Many live hand to mouth. With no provision of social welfare, it is predictable what will happen.
Ugandans recall how money meant to support vulnerable families with food during the last lockdown was swindled and the food itself couldn't reach most people. Liberation is the solution. As long as this corrupt, inept regime still illegally presides over, we are bound to see this
For now, I encourage you all to realise we're absolutely on our own and take precautions to avoid getting infected. Deep condolences to those who have lost loved ones. Strength to the sick and those nursing them. Everyone is a potential victim. Everyone is a potential solution!
This is a scandal! We had more than a year to plan and prepare for this moment. As always, Gen. Museveni's regime chose to embezzle billions borrowed or donated in the name of #COVID19. The Auditor General revealed 'grand theft' of COVID funds, except no one was punished. Thread
