Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni, the President of Uganda, referred the European Members of Parliament as “arrogant” and “insufferable,” and he informed them that they could not instruct him on how to handle the oil projects in the nation. President Of Uganda, Museveni, called them “insufferable.”
Recent votes in the European Parliament resulted in the passage of a resolution that demanded the East Africa Oil Pipeline (Eacop) project be put on hold due to allegations of abuses of human rights and worries about its impact on the environment.
Museveni criticized the MEPs’ determination as disgusting and criticized their arrogance, referring to them as “boys and girls.”
At the Uganda Annual Conference of International Oil and Gas Summit, which was being held at the Hotel Kampala Serena, he delivered his remarks. During the course of his more than 10 years spent studying the English language, Gen. Museveni stated that he became familiar with the definition of the word “unbearable.”
After that, he stated that “some of these individuals,” who were undoubtedly members of the European Parliament, were “intolerable” and that they needed to exercise self-control or else they would “explode” soon.
The President of the European Parliament stated that he would not take the advise of members of the European Parliament who were younger than him.
“If you go to the European Union Parliament, there are only girls; a young woman is telling me what to do in Uganda!” commented Museveni.
“I think someone should advise these young people.”
President of Uganda, General Museveni, went on to remark that “these people” were very “shallow, self-centered, and wrong” on a number of issues, but in his own words, they continued “believing they knew everything.”.
He told “them” to “calm down” and stop spreading “their ignorance” because they “chose the wrong battleground.”.
“Some of these MEPs are insufferable and so wrong that they think they know everything, but they should calm down. This is the wrong battleground for them. I hope that our partners will firmly join us and advise them. For us, we are moving forward with our program,” said General Museveni.
“The European Parliament itself has enough to do. I advise MEPs there to take a little longer. East Africa has more capable people who know what needs to be done.”
Uganda’s longtime leader, who recently celebrated his 78th birthday, has made it clear that he hates arrogance and that he and his comrades have spent a lot of time “solving problems with arrogant people.”.
He then insisted that the oil projects would go ahead as planned. “Our oil exploration plans continue as before, despite misguided criticism from EU lawmakers,” he said.
The beginning of the uproar about Uganda’s oil projects and the European Union was the passage of a resolution by the European Parliament to halt construction of the EACOP pipeline.
After a few hours, Vice President Thomas Tayebwa made a statement in which he dismissed the concerns raised by members of the European Parliament.
Later on, the President of Uganda, Gen. Museveni, underlined that nobody, not even the European Parliament, would be able to derail Uganda’s oil projects. He went as far as announcing the time frame in which Ugandans might anticipate the extraction of the first oil drum from the earth.
