National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has challenged Ugandans to stand up against rampant corruption.
Kyagulanyi, who was addressing hundreds of people in Ishaka-Bushenyi District during the ongoing NUP nationwide mobilization revealed that the money stolen from government coffers can improve service delivery without borrowing.
“I want to ask you to stop supporting thieves. Even if they bring money to you. That is your money which should have been used to buy drugs in the hospitals and work on roads,” he said.
According to Kyagulanyi, Uganda loses over Shs10trillion annually to corruption.
Kyagulanyi added that Uganda has a road network of 36,000km, but the money stolen every year is 10 trillion which would have been used to construct all roads including community access roads.
The development comes at a time when Ugandan Gen Zs are are planning a July 23 anti-corruption March to Parliament.
Bobi Wine started his Journey to Bushenyi from Mbarara by noon and reached the rally ground by 4:00pm without any interference from police.
NUP’s Mobilisation tours resumed Tuesday in Bundibugyo, and Bobi Wine, along top party leaders, will be in Rukungiri District today Wednesday, Ntungamo District on Thursday, and Isingiro District on Friday.
