Uganda’s dictator Museveni Yoweri Museveni has honoured Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto after naming a new college after him.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the William Ruto Leadership Institute will be held on Saturday at Makerere University. The DP will be the chief guest at the event.

According to the Vice-chancellor, the new institute will serve seven main goals.
It will draw on the core strengths of the diversity of disciplines and experiences to develop and refine methodologies for the study of Africa.
The institution will also contribute to the discussion, analysis of critical developmental challenges facing African societies through research and extension work.
It is ironical that Museveni can build a leadership institute when his leadership style has been criticized. He is a dictator who has refused to relinquish power for more than 30 years. Museveni is also on the spot for torturing his opponents. His rival Kiza Besigye has been in and out of prison for standing against the president.
Recently, firebrand musician cum politician Bobi Wine has been on the receiving end of brutality committed by Museveni’s policemen. Bobi Wine has declared that he will run for the presidency in 2022, but observers and political analysts believe Museveni will not allow him to win.
