HOW COVID-19 EXPOSED MUSEVENI AS FAKE LEADER 

A typical relief pack in Uganda consists of a few kilos of maize flour, a pack of 6kgs of rotten beans colloquially known as "relief food for the vulnarable poor", was distributed to poor and low income households in times of lockdown.

Museveni served this food as immediate aid, a stop gap measure but for the people the food that was received was fake and a normal human being couldn’t serve innocent citizens such kind of food stuff.

Kampala lord mayor who opposed this poor quality food stuff said “Instead of asking what people need, Museveni assume that he already know the people’s needs yet he knows nothing”. Such mindless generosity conveys that the covid19 disaster should subsist on meager allocations.

After months of downplaying the coronavirus outbreak, Museveni eventually imposed a lockdown of metro manila, quickly deploying police and military to enforce immediate compliance. This militarised response proceeds from the government's view of the pandemic as a national security issue rather than a public health emergency.

His rotten system reinforces the law and order approach to governance and the president's usual obsession of framing every crisis situation as a "war" the poor have struggled to keep themselves safe and healthy. As hospitals scrambled to manage the chaos from an overload of patients and severe shortage in essential equipment and personnel, the poor's already diminished access to healthcare dwindled further.

The unemployment rate remains astonishingly high as companies adjust to an environment severely altered by COVID-19, corruption and over staying in power which has neglected the retirement age limit.

Amid exhortations to self-isolate at home and observe physical distancing, stranded workers were admonished by government officials to find temporary accommodation to house them for the duration of the quarantine. Informal settlers and the homeless found themselves not only at a greater risk of contracting the virus but also in violation of strict directives by dint of their dense living conditions and hundreds were seen walking back to villages from kampala to Gulu, Kisoro, Arua Moroto etc.

Coronavirus has proved that Museveni has narrow ideas of what people deserve, many people have complained on his mechanism of giving official statement as leader who has no skills of reading a speech but rather passes south while heading west.
