Four-time presidential candidate, Col. RTD. Kizza Besigye has said the elite should feel ashamed comparing him and President Yoweri Museveni.
“Sometimes I wonder especially whether the elites don’t feel ashamed comparing Museveni and me,” Besigye told the weekly observer in an interview adding, “Museveni spends officially our money about Shs 700 million daily. What does Besigye spend of yours – you who is saying we are the same? Can you imagine that level of nonsense that even elites entertain?”
Besigye also lashed at critics who say he has failed.
“What I’ve been inquiring from those who say you’ve not achieved what you set out to achieve – I ask them if you’re in a bad situation, what are you doing about it? Ok I have failed, forget about me. What should I’ve done that I’ve not done to achieve success? I’ve got no response,” he said.
To those, Besigye said he is going nowhere and that no amount of blunt criticism will cow him into abandoning his nearly 20-year-old struggle to oust his political nemesis Yoweri Kaguta Museveni from power.
