President Yoweri Museveni has challenged his political nemesis Kizza Besigye to touch on electricity wires and see if he isn’t electrocuted.
President Museveni told a rally of National Resistance Movement (NRM) supporters in the recently created Omoro district that the opposition and more so Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) kingpin Kizza Besigye should test his achievement by touching on electricity wires.
Mr Museveni is currently in Omoro to campaign for the NRM Candidates for both Woman Member of Parliament and chairman LCV seats. Opposition has often times contested programmes initiated by President Museveni as non-viable.
“Opposition and Besigye (Kizza) say government has done nothing. Let them touch these electricity wires and if they survive, vote them” the president said.
In reply to President Museveni, Dr.Besigye said Museveni should be ashamed that under his administration of 30 years, it is only 7 per cent of the population that can afford power, meaning majority are poor.
“Let him show houses that use electricity in those areas? Homes that use power (electricity) are a mere 7 per cent meaning that our people cannot afford the price of power. Anyway, Mr Museveni is like a hunter who goes hunting and has never captured any animal and if he kills a bird, the whole world will know” Dr. Besigye said.
