President Museveni Testified at AfrikaKwetu Trek: We Stole Food From Farmers Who Ran Away During The War That Brought NRM In To Power In January 1986.

President Museveni has revealed that the National Resistance Army rebels used to steal food from locals who had abandoned their homes and gardens, saying the Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala was one of the victims of this theft.

Museveni made the remarks on Wednesday 8-January-2020 at Butologo hills on the fifth day of the 195km trek in honor of the National Resistance Army fighters, Museveni said they used two methods to get what to eat.

“On the issues of food, sometimes we would organize but other times we didn’t have capacity. Because we could not buy food for the whole population, we used to steal. Cardinal Nsubuga’s lusuku(banana plantation) helped us very much. There were other places where they(rebels) used to get (steal) food from,”Museveni said.
