A group or individual using the name Wazimba have contacted Buganda Post to indicate that they posted an anti-Museveni message on the YouTube video sharing website. The video includes a live clip filmed at Entebbe airport and is narrated in Luganda. The general theme of the message is to “wake my friends” (”banange muzuukuke”) to resist the efforts by Uganda rules to grab all national assets. We have not yet been able to establish whether Wazimba is a Muganda. And Mr. or Ms. or Messrs Wazimba also leaves any information about his political affiliations.

The narrator specifically alleges that Entebbe international airport has been sold to one man, Sam Kuteesa. This allegation is in line with Uganda current investigations by Uganda’s Museveni controlled parliament into a lease deal where government has sold Entebbe airport to an Arab company. Some MPs have told the local press that they have evidence that Sam Kuteesa and other Balaalo personalities set up a joint venture with the Arab company, as a front to sell the airport to themselves.

Kuteesa and other influential Banyankore and Bakiga have been engaged in controversial airport business since the mid 1990s. For example, Kuteesa and Museveni’s half-brother Salim Saleh own ENHAS, which has a monopoly on Entebbe airport ground handling and security. In addition, Entebbe In-flight Services is owned by Mrs. Janet Museveni and Charles Mbiire.
