Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Democratic Party is wondering over the agenda behind publicizing President Museveni\u2019s Covid-19 status saying it is not the first time someone is infected with the viral disease.<\/p>\n

President Museveni has continuously used his Twitter and Instagram accounts to provide regular updates on his Covid status from the time he was confirmed sick on June 7.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media at the party\u2019s headquarters in Kampala, the president of the DP youth wing called the Uganda Young Democrats, Ismael Kirya, alleged that there could be a hidden motive about Museveni\u2019s illness.<\/p>\n

According to Kirya, the president is always very careful with a mask and all those to meet him have to be tested which draws questions over how the Ugandan leader contracted the virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cNews have been circulating about the president’s illness and as DP party, we would like to join the entire nation to wish the president of the republic of Uganda a quick recovery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it’s quite disturbing when we see State House starting to publicize his sickness,\u201d Kirya remarked on Monday.<\/p>\n

Kirya went on to question why State House had never publicized all other sicknesses \u2013if any- that the president had suffered.<\/p>\n

The DP Youth Wing maintains that that Museveni could be hiding away from the western world who want discussions on the recently signed Anti-Homosexuality Act or is busy doing some things quietly when he doesn’t want any disturbance.<\/p>\n

Museveni speaks out <\/b><\/p>\n

President Museveni on Tuesday spoke out after his social media platforms remained silent regarding his Covid status throughout Monday, raising concern.<\/p>\n

“I noticed some few individuals from, I think, Kenya, saying that I was in ICU etc. If I was in ICU, the government would inform the country. What is there to hide? However, I have not been to bed as a sick man in the house here except for sleeping, let alone being in a hospital bed, whether ICU or otherwise. Continue praying, we shall overcome,” Museveni wrote on Twitter on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Ugandans and Bazzukulu in particular.<\/p>\n

It has been almost 2 days since I gave you an update on my war with corona. Except for the first two days (Tuesday and Wednesday), when there was a mild flu-like fever, but weaker than the usual flu, I only had some drowsiness on Thursday…<\/p>\n
