Gilbert Bukenya to stand for presidency

Gilbert Bukenya

Busiro North legislator, Gilbert Balibaseka Bukenya, who also served as Uganda Vice President from 2003 to 2011 declared that he will run against President Museveni in 2016.

It will be the first time the National Resistance Movement party (NRM) calls a delegates’ conference to elect a presidential candidate. We have always been endorsing one person for the presidential candidacy.

We have had elections for secretary general before but not a presidential candidate. If they cheat me, then I will quit and contest for President independently.

Everybody who has a question mark must go through a process of clearance. The scandal I see in the Prime Minister’s office is alarming, what I saw in the pension’s office is terrible and what I see in health clinics is very bad.

There is no medicine, there is nothing.We must fight the hemorrhage of money from the government so that money is used in areas where we need to use it, Bukenya says according to an exclusive interview by Richard Wanambwa of the Daily Monitor Newspaper.
