Museveni Goon Schooled Live on Air — Egesa Destroys the Unlimited Power Argument.

In yet another embarrassing moment for the Museveni camp, political analyst Ronald Egesa put former Uganda National Teachers’ Union Secretary General James Tweheyo on the spot during a heated discussion on corruption on 90.1 Radio One. The debate centered on Museveni’s growing use of various units and agencies in the fight against corruption. Egesa argued that the President is bypassing the constitutionally mandated institutions, creating a strategy that is fundamentally flawed—and, in his view, corrupt in itself. But Tweheyo appeared to take an even more sweeping position, defending Museveni’s authority to do whatever he believes is necessary. That is when Egesa pushed back with a blunt constitutional reality: No, he doesn’t. The exchange quickly turned into a lesson on presidential powers, constitutional limits and whether Museveni can simply override established institutions in the name of fighting corruption. Tweheyo came to defend the President—but Egesa came armed with the Constitution.
