Addressing a congregation of the youths in Kyengera on Kampala Masaka road today, Kayihura said many opposition leaders misinform people making them to believe that the country is in an economic crisis.

Kayihura said this at a time when the members of A4C were addressing a counter assembly in Kyengera trading centre onKampala–Masaka road. However a vigilante youth and a member of A4C challenged Kayihura when he asked him the following questions.

Mr. Kayihura does the opposition lie us when they say that there is high commodity prices? Do they lie us when they tell us that the economy is almost in the limbo?

 The youth told Kayihura that when he was a young boy his parents used to get agricultural loans and educating the child was an issue of the central government. But these days’ banks advertise school fees loan. Won’t the banks next time advertise food loan? And the next day advertise ‘walking or talking loan?’ Kayihura answered none of these questions.
