January 15, 2026 is an erasable reminder of how Power-hungry criminal Yoseri Tibuhaburwa alias Kagutema Museveni has deliberately destroyed our country, Uganda 🇺🇬 for the past four decades.
Following Museveni’s four-decade misrule, unfortunately our country cannot afford something as basic as a proper voting booth. Currently, public infrastructure is in shambles with impassable roads, disfunctional education system, failed healthcare services and increasing youth unemployment.
Let that sink in.
In 2026, how can a country that has had the same president since the 1980s watch helplessly as its head of state casts a vote in the cheapest plastic basin, seated on an ancient wooden chair, in full view of cameras??
This is not symbolism by accident — it is a brutal reflection of how low our democratic values and standards have been dragged after 40 years of Museveni’s misrule.
This is what prolonged dictatorship looks like. Not progress, not stability, but decay disguised as normal business.
After four decades, Uganda should be exporting democratic best practices, not improvising elections with household items. On the contrary, trillions of hard-earned taxpayers’ money is spent on luxurious “State House” expenditure, military hardware, and patronage networks.
After fourty years of misrule, the regime claims it cannot provide dignified, transparent voting infrastructure for its citizens, yet they invest in abducting, torturing and illegal arrests/detention and killing innocent citizens.
If elections are sacred, why are they treated with such contempt?
Museveni’s long stay in power has hollowed out institutions, normalized mediocrity, corruption, nepotism, moral decay and trained citizens to expect less — less accountability, less transparency, less dignity.
Elections have become rituals of control rather than expressions of the people’s will. Intimidation replaces competition. Militarization replaces trust. Survival replaces vision.
This is not just about a chair or a basin. It is about a system that no longer feels shame. A regime so entrenched that it no longer pretends to govern for the future — only to cling to power.
Uganda is not poor. Uganda is poorly governed.
No nation can move forward when one man treats the state as personal property for 40 years. No country can thrive when leadership fears the ballot more than it respects it.
Enough is enough – Uganda deserves better, Uganda deserves dignity, Uganda deserves real democracy.
Museveni must go and the time is now.
