The State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Henry Oryem Okello, has said that Ugandans dying of hunger are idiots.
The minister, who was speaking to the press talked about Uganda’s climate being favorable for farmers to till their land and plant enough seeds for food.
This comes days after President Museveni told the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) delegates that disturbing photos of Ugandans starved to near death due to feminine, especially in the country’s north-eastern restive Karamoja sub-region is not a representative of the situation on the African continent
The remarks from both Mr. Oryem and Mr. Museveni who has been in power since 1986 when he shot his way to State House through a guerilla warfare come just months after Uganda Human Rights Commission said in their May 2023 report that at least 2,000 people had died of hunger in the mineral-rich Karamoja sub-region in just a year.
