Solomon Kampala, the son of Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine, has publicly criticized President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government, arguing that the current administration is rapidly losing its strength and credibility. Through a series of remarks shared on his X account, Solomon expressed strong concerns about the country’s political leadership and its future.
In his statement, the young political activist described President Museveni as being too old and physically weak to continue leading the country. He also questioned the leadership abilities of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Museveni’s son, suggesting that he is not fit to govern Uganda.
He wrote, “Guys, Museveni is old (so very old and frail), and Muhoozi is not capable. Everyone can see it. America can see it. Uganda is no longer a reliable trade partner, security partner, or partner of any kind.”
Solomon further claimed that the current administration has damaged Uganda’s standing on the international stage, particularly in its relationships with foreign governments and development partners. According to him, the country’s reputation has declined significantly, affecting both trade and security cooperation.
He added, “Uganda no longer counts as a solid trade or security partner. Countries feel embarrassed linking up with it now. The big example? US funding crashed from roughly one billion dollars a year in 2023 down to about two hundred million.”
Addressing those who continue to support the ruling government, Solomon warned that they risk facing the consequences of backing what he described as a failing administration. He compared the government to a sinking boat, suggesting that its supporters could ultimately suffer alongside it.
Solomon is currently pursuing further studies in the United States, where he is also spending time with his father, Bobi Wine. The opposition leader has been outside Uganda for an extended period following continued political tensions and reported pressure on opposition figures.
