The Executive Director of UNAIDS and a United Nations Under-Secretary-General Winnie Byanyima hits on becoming the president of Uganda saying she is capable of leading Uganda.
The wife of former presidential candidate Kizza Besigye made these remarks while appearing live in an interview with NBS TV this morning as she was suggesting to lead Uganda.
“It’s good to hear people say that I can lead them. It’s a suggestion that they trust in me, and I thank them for that. I can also say that I am capable. What haven’t I been through?” she said.
The UNAIDS director moved fast to change the attention from leadership ambitions to the pressing political and social issues facing Uganda.
“I don’t think this is the time to talk about who can be President. We should talk more about how to restore our democracy. I am not excited about being in the next election. What is there?” she questioned, highlighting her concerns about the current state of Uganda’s political landscape.
A long-time advocate for human rights, Byanyima vowed to continue fighting for justice and equality.
“As long as I am still alive, I will defend my human rights and those of other Ugandans,” Byanyima said.
