During the launch of his new political party, the Democratic Front (DF), Mpuuga acknowledged the apology but questioned its sincerity.
“President Museveni and his wife, Janet Museveni’s public apology to Buganda and Uganda is welcome. However, it would make more sense if he apologized and left power like his friend and teacher, Julius Nyerere (former Tanzanian President) did,” Mpuuga stated.
He further criticized the timing of the apology, suggesting it was contradictory to ongoing actions against opposition supporters.
“Making a public apology as you prepare the gallows for our children (opposition supporters) is questionable,” he added.
