The Minister of Trade and Cooperatives Amelia Kyambadde has faced it rough in Norway as fierce man accused her of being a thief and corrupt.
The minister was attending Nordic Uganda business conference in Oslo, where she expressed her commitment to fighting poverty and support job creation in for transformation of Uganda’s economy.
She however, faced it rough when a man took up microphone and accused her and President Museveni of being the pioneers of destruction of cooperative societies leaving people to suffer at the hand of poverty.
“My question goes to the minister from Uganda, you are talking of job creation, development, first of all Amelia herself has three or four jobs that increases on the number of unemployment, two corruption they come and ask for money and use it themselves, she is very- very rich can you give us the details of the cooperatives unions you have destroyed, you are involved in many scandals, we don’t want to be fooled,” he said.
In her response the minister implored him to develop the spirit ethicists, saying that is why Africa lags behind. “When we have young people like him, making false accusations based on political affiliations and negatives attitudes towards their nation, we are going no further,” he added.
The young man however, insisted and said he is not a politician and hence said, Let me go out. He was seen picking his bag and walked out of the conference room.
Nevertheless, in the corridors, the minister called on Ugandans in Norway to leave the place saying you can’t abuse and accuse me of theft, “who did I rob off funds, did I steal your father’s property, am among people with clear record of theft, In fact I will sue you people,” she said
