“We want the voice of the people to surpass the voice of the guns. We want to put an end to dictatorship and install civilian authority. We want to revive the education system and awaken the healthcare system. We want to return the rule of law and dignity to the people of Uganda. We want to unite our people that have been divided along ethnic lines, social class, political party lines. We want to create an environment where Ugandans in America, Europe, etc feel blessed return and rebuild their country,” Bobi Wine said when asked about his plans for Uganda.
