        Just imagine the guy Museveni has been in power since 1986. Then people ask why Africa is so far behind the rest of the world. #Freebobiwine

        @KagutaMuseveni are these too unemployed youth influenced by opposition? Your young citizens can think on there own and we have the freedom to express it through means you seem to only understand in order to show u that something is unjust

        the people who should be arrested by @KagutaMuseveni are intelligence units who did not give him information. Don't like him
