Uganda's opposition leader Dr Kizze Besigye has taken a swipe at President Yoweri Museveni over his alleged dictatorship.
President Museveni has been in power since 1986 when he managed to topple the regime of Milton Obote.
On Tuesday, Besigye wondered why Museveni would let citizens kneel down before him to receive 'handouts', a term used to refer to money.
"After 34 yrs of NRM/M7 Junta, this is what our people have been reduced to: Kneeling before Ssabagabe(“King of Kings”) in a line to get a small handout in brown envelop! We must end this humiliation now. That’s why...#Art3#Twerwaneko#M7mustGo," he said in a tweet.
Elderly people were captured in a video kneeling down before the Ugandan leader who is currently in a mission of walking 200 kilometres, a symbolic route he used when his troops conquered Kampala.
The trip is set to take a total of six days and the President has been making stopovers in key towns to interact with people, the Guardian reports.
“The great trek started today and will last six days. This is a journey that the president is leading, a journey through the past to appreciate the present,” Museveni’s senior press secretary, Don Wanyama, said.
“The journey will take a week through the jungle, a route the liberators led by Museveni took to liberate the country.”
