It is very rare to hear stories of someone given a gift of a car and s/he rejects it. However this happened to president Museveni when he gave a car toUganda’s former army commander Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu and he rejected it.

 Muntu told this informer that by law former army commanders receive cars, house and they remain receiving their salaries until they die. But when he finished his work as army commander president Museveni as the commander in chief of UPDF gave him a 4wd vehicle and he refused to take it. Muntu says that he told the people who had brought him the car to go back and tell Museveni that ‘am (Muntu) done.’

The former army commander also says that one day Museveni called and told him that he was going to promote him to general and become defence minister. “I told him I’m done. One day we were in Kyankwanzi and I stood and challenged the president on third term. I told him that we went to the bush to fight over staying in power.” he recalls.

 Muntu goes ahead: “When I was in the bush, formerUgandapresident Milton Obote looked after my family. While in the bush, I was shot twice and Obote met my bill. When I recovered he bought me a brand new benz. I packed it at statehouse and went back to the bush. I am over strict and whenever I see a mistake I have to tell it so Uganda needs people like me to be presidents,” he says.
