“Museveni is Nolonger Fit To Lead Ugandans, Enough Of His Intimidation” Ex Vision Group Boss Kabushenga Erupts

Former Vision Group CEO Robert Kabushenga has weighed in on the critical governance issues facing modern Uganda and Africa at large. Unsurprisingly, his video clip has already exploded online, with thousands of Ugandan social media users sharing and echoing it across platforms.

Speaking frankly, Kabushenga pointed to “underlying” generational “grievances,” fueling a wave of fearless expression among young people, who are speaking in one bold, unified voice, demanding political change throughout the continent.

He made it clear that Uganda is firmly caught in this unstoppable continental storm of change, with its youth growing visibly impatient and determined to flip the script. Kabushenga insists it’s no longer viable for those in power to keep brushing these grievances aside like they’re nothing.

He argues the youth demand a seat at the decision-making table—right now, not when it’s convenient. He says no amount of intimidation or brute state force will succeed in silencing what he calls the “underlying grievances.” He points to countries where young people have shattered oppressive state systems and enforced regime change through sheer will.

“The people, the voters have an underlying grievance [feeling excluded from decision-making processes] and they will express it. Their feeling is that you aren’t serving us [anymore],” he stated during an online discussion series he regularly joins with other African intellectuals. Charles Onyango Obbo is one of those who frequently appears with Kabushenga to dissect Africa’s toughest governance dilemmas under the “Bad Natives Podcast” series.

Deliberate in his phrasing, Kabushenga didn’t spare Uganda’s long-time leader from Rwakitura, Gen YK Museveni, describing him as simply too old to offer any serious leadership to the country at this point.

“In a world that has the ambitions of the kind that people are doing, investing in technology and moving at a supersonic speed into the future…we are sitting here [Kampala] with guys who are essentially great grand parents, not even… I mean our own President; his grand daughter is getting married soon.”

“So, in his next term he will be a great grand father. Is he really the right person to lead us to where we are going or to lead the people?” asked Kabushenga, who many say still harbors deep frustration and bitterness over how he was thrown out of Vision Group in February 2021, just weeks after the chaotic 2021 elections where Museveni suffered unexpected blows from popstar-turned-politician Bobi Wine, the new darling of Uganda’s youth.

“How can a guy who can physically not campaign, can’t bring himself to ask you for your vote…? What is he going to do for you? We must ask that question. The third point for me out of that is that: why isn’t taking so long for the [vote] count to be done? In this age and time?”

Kabushenga’s remarks cut deep into the heart of Uganda’s political stagnation, laying bare frustrations many have long felt but feared to voice. His challenge to the ruling elite is unapologetic: the youth are done waiting, and their demands can no longer be ignored or suppressed.

Across Africa, similar undercurrents are sweeping aside tired regimes clinging to power through fear and manipulation. Uganda is no exception.

As the old guard tightens its grip, the pressure from below only builds. Kabushenga’s warning is clear—change is not a matter of if, but when. And when it comes, it will be unstoppable.
