A Ugandan court on Tuesday charged pop star turned
leading opposition figure, Bobi Wine, with “annoying” President Yoweri
Museveni.
.
.
Wine, who entered parliament in 2017, has emerged
as a leading critic of Museveni – who has been in power for over three
decades – and has faced multiple detentions while authorities have
frustrated his efforts to perform.
.
.
He announced last month
that he would take on Museveni in 2021 national elections. “This
government of President Museveni is in panic mode. .
.
At first it
was treason and now it is annoying president Museveni. Who on earth
can’t be annoyed?” Wine told AFP. “It is a ridiculous charge and am
ready to challenge it in court,” he said.
