Two political leaders, Michael Mabikke and Dr. Abed Bwanika have opposed the MPs move to impeach President Museveni.

The MPs’ proposal to impeach Museveni is being driven by MP Odonga Otto (Aruu) and Ken John Lukyamuzi of Lubaga South. Abed Bwanika and Mabikke say that the MPs who plan to impeach Museveni are in day dreams since NRM has majority MPs in the house.

Mabikke says that opposition members have no capacity to impeach Museveni since they have few numbers in the house. Mabikke says that the MPs should concentrate on developmental issues than dreaming to impeach Museveni.

MPs Lukyamuzi and Otto want to impeach Museveni over allegations of causing financial lose to the government in the compensation saga to businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba and purchase of fighter jets. Mabikke is the president General of the Social Democratic Party while Bwanika is the president of the Peoples’ Developmental Party.

Lukyamuzi, who is also the MP for Lubaga South, adds that Museveni abused state funds through Corruption, nepotism, extravagancy, buying teargas and Fighter jets.

He says that Museveni’s ministers have defrauded the state. Some ministers in Museveni’s government such as Amama Mbabazi, Sam Kuteesa, Khiddu Makubuya and Syda Bbumba were recently asked to resign over corruption. And indeed some of the ministers have resigned.
