RENOWN NRM Poor Youth who in 2014 brought President Museveni’s regime on its knees when they strongly objected the Kyankwanzi candidate declaration are back to haunt President Museveni’s 38 years old leadership.
Led by Shakur Walusimbi who recently declared intention to contest for President in 2026, the NRM Poor Youth have formed a political pressure group and named it Servant Leadership Alliance (SAL) revealing that among their cardinal targets are the government corrupt officials who they say, will be killed if SLA leader Shakur Walusimbi takes over power from a soft handed President Museveni.
Without mincing words, NRM Poor Youth warned, “When Poor Youth take control of their country, we will have no mercy towards the corrupt officials. They have killed all our institutions. They have swindled money for our roads, money for hospitals, money for schools and believes they are untouchable during President Museveni’s regime. The story will change a moment our leader Shakur Walusimbi takes over in 2026. All corrupt officials will be put on a karabba (hanged) and stolen money returned to the national coffers. There will be mo mercy. You embezzle tax payers’ money, we hang you.”
The Poor Youth who say are fed up of corruption in the country, accuse President Museveni of using soft hands when handling corrupt officials saying, not until this vice is eradicated, this country will never move forward.
Speaking to this investigative News Website, Mr. Shakur Walusimbi told us that some few years ago, Uganda’s economy was better than that of countries like Malaysia and Singapore but today, the economies of the above two countries is far better than that of Uganda due to corrupt government officials.Walusimbi said, the country will never have better infrastructure and service delivery because a few people eat every coin got from tax payers.
Asked whether this move of killing corrupt government officials won’t be a decampaigning tool for their pressure group during 2026 elections, Shakur Walusimbi said if President Museveni signed Homosexuality bill into a law where there is a death sentence, “So it will be to the corrupt government officials if Poor Youth takeover power in 2026. Just like Mr. Museveni okayed killing of Homosexuals, so we will kill corrupt government officials.”
When we reminded him how President Museveni has put measures and led a war against corruption, Poor Youth under their political pressure group Servant Leadership Alliance (SLA) said The Head of State will never manage this war.
“You have heard claims that corrupt officials hide in State House. They don’t fear courts of law. You arrest them today and tomorrow they are out. This drama ends with Mr. Museveni’s regime. All leaders even in the opposition are merely talking about corruption. Protests don’t end corruption. Servant Leadership Alliance has a solution. Give us your support, we sort out corruption officials once for all and our country will never be the same again.” Said Poor Youth.
For starters, in 2014, when Hon. Minister Everlyn Anite led a sole candidate campaign in Kyankwanzi NALI, a group of NRM Poor Youth led by Adam Luzindana Buyinza, Shakur Walusimbi and many others rejected this move saying it was against NRM Constitution.
At the presser held at Makerere Guest House, NRM Poor Youth made a declaration in objection with the NRM Caucus NRM Declaration.
Consequently, these Youth moved to rally behind then NRM Secretary General Rt. Hon. John Patrick Amama Mbabazi (JPAM) to stand for President.
In fact, this caused him trouble from his boss Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who later sacked him and succeeded by Rt. Hon. Justine Kasule Lumumba.
A year later, Mbabazi contested against Museveni for President in 2016 and the former NRM SG gave his former boss sleepless nights.
However, Museveni defeated Mbabazi, although he had to first tame the NRM Poor Youth.
About 10 years later, this group has resurfaced, rebranded and ready to politically retire Mr. Museveni basing on the ticket to fight and end corruption in Uganda.
