because if you big job the government will use him to spokesperson go. thank you for joining us not only the c. style international audience who you. didn't in general we're going to end and i missed sound that africa and democracy. video i am looking at on my laptop that they turn to dates for the presidential elections in uganda 20212026 that will be that turn on and i'm just going to skew down look at the candidates here and of these candidates who stands out for you who is the most impressive from your perspective who seems to be capturing the public's imagination. and those are 2 different this one i find most up to. me the candidates

that's very public imagination. so i would say i would say for the public they're too for the trial as the. president was of any incumbent what that to 5 years and then days as. most commonly known as will be a lion. only 4 years old when presidents of any became presidents. out of the 2 at the. last run as in the risks. of. either necessary or. i'm just looking at the present seventies twitter feeds and counting down to election day and one of the critical issues that he seemed to be using to appeal to the candles for the citizens will be securing the future that with christmas 70 you

continue to have a secure future it's so difficult to be distracted by who or to slim down tonight now i want you to really focus on issues of beginning of our conversation is that the biggest campaign promise that the government is giving the people began to a secure future. yes of course in different years ago as they were in. this if instead you know i meant nobody mentioned earlier this year a nurse or a star is nothing make an american i'm not given the basics surest so. over the various orders and i woke up later there was no democracy no media well meaning tremendous journey of transformation of empowerment over the previously imagined a liaison with young people. this is. what we have. in

that is the international community will want to continue with him said ridiculous . so that we're going to endorse somebody i'm still sure that future we do believe they're good they're from foundation on which we can. tell you and so on. every indication is that you're a mystery is the preferred candidate former director of veterans there may be a little noise in telling but that is the exit was i was going to when he spoke to the leisure a lot assistance mohammad is going to win overwhelmingly the next president and the local governments of. our. conservative estimate 6070 percent 72 percent where i don't think there's going to be. from the current formations in the catapult operations in the country all right let me let me bring in joe here joe i'll be following your outreach via social media

uganda herons sorry major problems you turned it out recently one leadership to leadership 3 leadership critical issues as you approach election day if you think your peeling to the ghana public what are they. gel ahead for. when i tell can you hear me could you question is approaching. the general 44 action i saw you tweet out me any of the points any of them and i. can't. see my character. i'm back now so i don't know about that street specifically i say. 3 leadership leadership because i've been to the everything is revolving our leadership when you go to our hospitals there's no medicine we are giving back on the floor why but leaders because all of the people there full of all those we

spend billions of taxpayers' money government officials flying over for treatment and so little because on the whole the ordinary text but in addition to that these are children studying under trees in 202125 years later this year old mr 70. does that when you look at our economy these guys keep talking about progress oh my goodness if you like strongly reach the gulf between the rich and the poor it's so way so when you look at g.d.p. and you didn't back up into this it will show you that there's a bit of progress but he did be happy you know it means for years that somebody with extremely rich and he's too poor there. then good enough and so many young people are unemployed in this country when you look at the human rights record for even sick. of it is like a death sentence before being cute being maimed hundreds of people behind buys because one man once drew our country or iran for us for saying no we can't do better we should do better within the 5 years same time some 7 has done what he's

been able to do but his dose of things that he has messed up corruption in this country is skyrocketing you know government officials. on a daily basis billions of taxpayer money that is meant to fix education and all these different things and so that's why i keep to get back to religion once we get leaders. of the people as a. thing themselves this can change it should be able to change. i'm just looking here that. they can't make this part of the conversation that we were having and she says a pretty seventies the night she. did strategic others not to get anywhere beyond. you take on not. yeah i think that's definitely one of the ways in a race president museveni ampules to people he said he appeals to set and kind of people who are dry that. pool will who are risk of us to stand whatever

we have now that have this then you know. what's. going on but i wouldn't say those people are the majority of so be honest i think joel is saying there's lots of people who are disgruntled mister who are not open doors talking about you know where i'm 7 brought us from. failed states and all of that but why is talking about the change that have any role it in the 19 eighties and nineties is not necessarily the simplest i think lots of people feel that we have regrets the ones who are on a you know on the revolutionary cause and we've since regressed so i think i would say yeah some people feel some people risk of us they don't want to risk what they were what they already have is visually people who are comfortable but there are also people who are also feel excluded and magnetized in many many ways

economically as members of certain ethnic groups. people do not see themselves are presented at all by the government is a government run my old man will very often do auld many things. you know slowing down the intended closing social media oh you will you know that sort of i think it's not this is not a universal it's not in any of us a perception for sure. i want to bring in a bell going to prosper lou lou who picks up media and your point about this being a young people and next this is what he told us when he looked at who was running who were the potential candidates have a listen to beltway favorites and it is seen that surely you have come to the highest office of the last president is obvious so you look people are going to learn where the fish is they are is a little kind and you know what. the title is and i saw people here of all his

people and they all are going to be pushed into a lawsuit or a statement and really excited whenever you see or listen to these people dog all these in whatever he will go. guess we have so much activity happening on each of i want to open up some of the questions and set them with you so david any sense how the postponing activities like the counting insured to be safe and fair by the politics any chance of one well let me ask that of you very direct and a brief response please. about the premise or who is transparent. card is where who said it was if it's yours. at the national never truly forming station level trillions the president wants aborting started closest at 4 under voting is down but the counting is

a band in the open i've been calling station. and it is a sign that this is as announced at the polling station before the ticket before turning i to the district level so that because i was with the media we expect and it was in a book and it would have sufficient number on the label agency to take care of business or the dreaded with me with a book with a reporting i thought did it should be pretty. well if. i have no doubt about it so. yeah it's what is interesting here and there was no need for some time have a look at my laptop here jon i'm going to go straight to the e.u. says one who wanted to get down to election limiting polls international scrutiny and that's because they say the last time they looked at uganda's elections they weren't happy the it was free and fair joe how confident are you that this election

general the 14th the number of people who fronted the thoughts that went to various candidates they will be accurate. oh elections are very. there is a lot of intimidation but happens on a daily basis. and you see an election is a process it's not just an event so we're talking about 40 years but it began a long time a war then it was 14 and thereafter it's an entire process it begins of course i dish and for example waited for within our laws and if somebody is the last to stand for president they can go across the country what we wind trying to do that they stopped and they said no you want more out there as we have before community in which now our government uses these as an excuse to secure the opposition people which is you know that you're. trying to protect him from community and so it's an entire process of course of decisions do not happen on money nation do opposition candidates was bundled up any of us who have been to him and so on and it's been.

happening people are being cute people i meet people you know and so as we head to 14th in this to many questions you know to issuance that so. for example seems well broken and the e.c. said you see because of your aunt's that's why this is broke but this is just wrong and so this forms on the board all these different things so all of what saying that you see the media will be there and so on but government and they literally should have come out to say we're not allowing cameras i polling stations and we're saying wait a minute why you should be caressed what i'm trying to hide or you know what you're going to other. what exactly. i can i think there's i don't know i hear. you know briefly in a. go ahead lydia read about a month come as at polling stations i mean if they want to commission has clarified it's not allowed within the cordoned off what's an area but journalists will still

be able to terms and their actions and this time people. you know like the e.u. teams that are no longer in the elections because. ugandans are very familiar you will be. documented or told they were to wrongdoing and nothing was done about it now how many every election since $2062006.00 has been a challenge in court and the courts have and the court has made your list so recommend ations most of which are just ignored under was talking about. procedural things that will happen on election day as they are on tape but in practice they don't necessarily happen that way in i live just about 6 kilometers from the electrical mission in 26 to in my polling station. at 3 pm and work is telling you that then wanting ends at 4 pm well when are people going to avoid so i

don't i think it's one thing to put things on there but it's quite another to actually ensure that those things happen and when things fail to happen as they sure remedy is you know that what does have remade the correction is made to our void those things being repeated which we haven't seen so far so i really understand people don't feel like this is this is going to be a fair election i think we haven't seen sufficient commitment from the government to make it fair and it does this certainly doesn't help that unfairness benefits the regions and it it. if you have been fooling uganda elections as you interviewed and they you will notice that some of the opposition candidates have had quite a challenging time i'm probably not knightly i want to present you candidate will whine just a little while ago when he was campaigning on what happened. i'm buggin i'm 30 i live. in my grandmother.

opposed to the really. big. want. so i'm wondering a phone why why a presidential candidate ace wearing a helmet and a flak jacket and in an armored vehicle campaign but you has an even tougher questions here lou and maria says censorship is our biggest problem. and it's the biggest issues that. are killing innocent ugandans. how would you respond to those 2 lines of questioning we're in the 1st one to have to say i'm very glad that india has the bank of mr joyce and plainclothes claims that there isn't a turnout there is

a limit or should i say and indeed the regulations that committees are not allowed to. station it is to protect the integrity of the sacred. so that nobody traces who or how they got how is what i'm getting now. the claim is. leading in that there is no way to verify it with inhibiting is credible again is not correct because i think it is the onus of the government to choose credible. i just want to correct you distort the truth sometimes. more than they said it was a 2 month. election they were going to be sending of their votes from their respective countries. then i want to send observers from already their mission this time were they in that mission in uganda i have been to see their national organising committee of this election as

a spokesperson of government we have now created. from there were 60 women were created but they didn't there was that was from their research a commission in the stuff that's already in the new and obviously because of the fear desk of 2 of sitting there. stuff people get to gather where they don't know how to manage now lives with us work we could to the issue of iraq there's. no point just remember if you. lose your job to judge is it time for my because i don't even see why yes. when when everyone speaking this is what really is a present you can't make haven't read flak jacket and a helmet to ringback. as because of that in very special kind of sick way to the ones happening for a cause you the police does too and i'm here to get is it more than

a 100 times that they would have called that this campaign this election to be faster below the trip to the circus tends to be civil disobedience in the hope they can make the menace into a better post hole and hopefully overthrow the government will run well i just want to push it because we only have so much trying to invent. a wearing. some of it is a drama they want to get sympathy from people a cure for the media and international observers so we want to look at them to believe that kids are terrible to follow. people or care whether just making too much. and those who are better than many attempts. are drug to go on the right sick as you can see it is paint your hands it's very painful just. means your bills are live at every bit as i told her when.

you're behind you with force. i don't go home i just go oh look it's very interesting here in i'm an old man like a former corner on t.v. luxury in international television until you realize that is that you know that so it's demeans and all of this mean in many attempts on what when's life we just saw a video yesterday miss lee numerous times they have shot at somebody very close to him clearly targeting him and so he's trying to shield himself or not want to say is my candidate but no one said he's going to defy all the laws which was about because this company should you she was out there to convey an industry that is meant to be in on the police's no you cannot he goes to speak at radio stations and they pull him out police officer so is this waiting 1000 even when he's on radio but there's a question i wanted to ask a former port au about you know yourself so he says is that

a christian or these examples and all of that but he see all the reports that these people produce and they vow to the whole and that's why they're saying you know what her brother will be part of this but it's not just your puzzle for no no that's a good country didn't issue out the community center of them to try and sanitize our elections the government of uganda which you speak has not implemented even one so well one who are around settlers and say yes we are bridging them and they are around but of what use is it for you to accredit them they are on the make recommendations and you don't upset that. their community. yes. i mean that's shocking that you think that the government spokesperson would say that quote trickle renditions quote you know a court ruling kindly rejected or taken that less shocking we're talking about the

highest court in that in your granda but i do have a question for a different question when you talked about ensuring the credibility of the voting process you talked about. candidates picking agents credible evidence and all of that but i'm not a candidate about an agent's candidate i'm just one direct to cast my vote i live just 6 kilometers from the electoral commission is 3 pm my ballot. as you know we have won many i have had initial arsenal question ok what if you don't resolutely and reverse a constant sense of what my brother were briefly for i'm such a little matter whether too much of yours is not the dimension certainly look you're the limit was this what he had calling station as you have a. misjudgment this is who we. want to be isn't visual basic look at all we'll be good even if it was after midnight so that's good

news if this will buy from you vote. all right so guess we have so many we have so much conversation happening on the cheap this is a very timely. showed to be looking had to what may happen in uganda come voting day on january the 45th joe you cheap us thank you for your excellent questions i would have a look here back at my laptop because there are so many issues that we haven't yet discussed but there are stories that running right now on al-jazeera dot com phrasebook shuts down ugandan accounts ahead of general elections big story as you will you tube as your online connectivity in uganda has not slowed down that is a big story and i also want to look at my colleague. she is tweeting she is reporting from camp colleague who will see on al-jazeera dot com
