Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has criticized Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino over alleged meddling in Ugandan politics.
Speaking during the launch of Raila Odinga’s AUC bid in Nairobi on Tuesday 27, 2024, President Museveni called out Babu Owino over his support for opposition politicians in Uganda.
While endorsing Raila Odinga’s African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson bid, Museveni said that Babu has been collaborating with Uganda’s anti-ruling party activists according to intelligence reports he receives. Where Babu’s name always appears.
“There are some individuals in Raila’s group who think I don’t know what they are doing. I am a consumer of intelligence services. I always see intelligence service reports. There’s a character called Babu. I always see Babu dealing with anti-NRM groups in Uganda,” the Ugandan president said.
He went on to say that despite knowing this, he has never accused Babu of it, until Tuesday.
Babu Owino has been a vocal supporter of Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine.
He had publicly declared his support for Bobi Wine’s ‘people power’ movement and ideologies.
