Uganda’s president Yoweri Museveni has surprised his people after he was photographed carrying water on a basic bicycle.
The president, whose humility is beyond his class, was on a mission to demonstrate the importance of drip irrigation. He finally led from the front by carrying water like any ordinary Uganda.
He later posted on Facebook:
“Today is Day Three of my Operation Wealth Creation drive in Luweero. This morning, I fetched water on my bicycle to demonstrate drip irrigation for coffee and bananas that I have planted on the 24 acres of land recently acquired by government in Kawumu Village, Luweero District. I will continue with my door-to-door mobilisation and sensitization on Operation Wealth Creation.”
Museveni is among the richest farmers in Uganda. He keeps over 1000 healthy cattle and practices crop farming in his ranch.
