museveni issues stern warning against ill treatment of ugandans
Ugandan President: Yoweri Museveni

Babu Owino has been barred from stepping a foot in Uganda. Ugandan Minister of internal affairs Haji Abubakar accused Babu Owino of undermining the Government.

Bobi Wine, who is behind a ‘people-power revolution’ in Uganda was in Kenya last month to launch a ‘Youth for Africa’ movement.

He appeared in a rally in Nairobi and even got invited to several T.V shows in Kenya and was constantly accompanied by Babu Owino.

It is at these events that the Ugandan government says “the duo uttered inflammatory and seditious words against the democratic and legitimate rule of President Yoweri Museveni”.

Kyagulanyi, 36, attracted a youth following through songs critical of Museveni and his prominence rose due to an incident in August in which his driver was shot dead and he was detained and charged with treason over what authorities said was the stoning of Museveni’s convoy.
