Years later, Museveni’s personal Physician Col.Warren Kizza Besigye Kifeefe would shock him beyond imagination. It had not been heard of anywhere before, particularly in Africa, that a serving officer at a rank of a Colonel, a permanent member of the NRA high Command , moreover the Presidents personal physician, to show his discontent to his appointing authority and Commander in Chief.
If there is any civilized and courageous officer that Uganda’s NRA has ever had , specifically taking the bull by its horn in a civilized manner, that officer is Dr.๐๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐๐ฒ . I say civilized because many other military officers in Africa , and in the world would feel comfortable plotting coups and assassinating their commanders in chief, like Sgt. Samuel Kanyon Doe of Liberia did in 1980.
Many people especially UPDF top leadership, despite agreeing with the gist of Dr Kizza Besigye’s argument he put out in 2000 criticizing Mr. Museveni, couldn’t fathom the “dare devil” character Dr.Besigye exhibited and the type of God he believed. Dr. Besigye became a house hold name amongst senior and Junior Officers and the most hated personality amongst Museveni’s bootlickers and sycophants.
To some progressive officers like Gen. David Tinyefuza aka Ssejusa , Amanya Mushega , Major Gen B. Kazoora and Col Sserwanga Lwanga among others, both in Military and Civil service, Besigye was not only Courageous but also another breed of leaders with capacity to question the powers that be and likely to succeed Museveni whom many had assessed to have lost focus .
On the other hand the sycophants regarded him as an enemy of revolution, an enemy of the People, selfish , greedy for power and an impatient cadre though my prediction is that they actually viewed Dr Besigye as an enemy to their ill intentions of stealing from the poor and Museveni’s life presidency.
Dr Besigye came onto the scene with a political style characterised by hard talk , hard speeches but most importantly that touching message of hope . To be honest, Dr Besigye never insulted Museveni save for the few people’s misinterpretation of hisย tough,ย and angry speeches. In any case , who wouldnt be angry with this regime ?.
What is factual is that Besigye understood Museveni’s Modus operandi: he seemed to know how Museveni lies, when he was lying and when was about to lie. Could this be because they had stayed into each others Company as a patient and a Doctor? In fact at one point following Museveni’s statement that he would retire in 2006. Besigye made remarks that he would cease to be Kifefes son if Museveni retired. What a political prophet!
