Miria Matembe Tears Into Muhoozi: "Ugandans Must Not Be Ruled by a Fool!"

Former Ethics and Integrity Minister Miria Matembe has launched a blistering attack on Muhoozi Kainerugaba, branding him "stupid" and warning Ugandans against what she described as an attempt to prepare him for the country's highest office. Matembe, who broke ranks with President Museveni after concluding that he had abandoned the ideals that originally drove the bush war, did not mince her words. In a fiery address, she argued that Uganda cannot afford to be led by a man she considers unfit for leadership, urging citizens to resist any effort to impose Muhoozi on the nation. Drawing from the Bible's famous rebuke, "You foolish Galatians," Matembe turned her attention to Ugandans themselves, warning them not to be deceived or manipulated into surrendering their future. She challenged citizens to think critically and reject what she portrayed as a growing project to hand power from father to son. Her remarks have reignited debate about succession politics, the future of Uganda's leadership, and whether the country is being prepared for a political dynasty. Whatever one's view, Matembe's message was unmistakable: Ugandans must not sleepwalk into a future they did not choose.
