This week, many observers expressed shock when President Museveni dismissed the work of members of parliament as “comedy.” He also took issue with the formal titles used in parliamentary debate—such as “Mr. Speaker” and “Madam Speaker”—appearing openly contemptuous of the language and decorum that define the institution.
For many, these remarks were startling. For me, however, they were entirely predictable. They reflect a pattern that has long characterized Museveni’s public conduct. Throughout the years, he has repeatedly shown disdain for individuals who hold different views, belong to rival political parties, or pursue political paths outside his own. His critics and opponents have often been ridiculed or dismissed outright. On several occasions, he has even described political challengers as “stupid,” while blaming voters themselves for electing the “wrong” leaders and suggesting that they must simply endure the consequences.
The statements circulating this week are therefore not an isolated slip of the tongue. They are part of a broader pattern. In the examples that follow, I highlight several instances in which Museveni has made similar remarks. Together, they raise a troubling question: rather than serving as a moral authority at the helm of the state, has Museveni instead become a leader who wields power with contempt for the very institutions meant to balance it?
