I’m Not in ICU, says Museveni

I’m Not in ICU, says Museveni  

President Museveni

President Museveni has dismissed reports on social media claiming that he is in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) battling coronavirus.

“I also noticed a few individuals from, I think, Kenya, saying that I was in ICU etc.  If I was in ICU, the government would inform the country. What is there to hide?” he said in his Tuesday social media update.

He added: “However, I have not been to bed as a sick man in the house here except for sleeping, let alone being in a hospital bed, whether ICU or otherwise. Continue praying, we shall overcome.”

According to the president, by Friday most of the symptoms had gone and he has been busy doing paperwork since then.

“I would have gone out of self – confinement but when we checked on Sunday, I was still positive, but the other parameters were good.”

This is his statement:

Ugandans and Bazzukulu in particular. 

It has been almost 2 days since I gave you an update on my war with corona. Except for the first two days (Tuesday and Wednesday), when there was a mild flu-like fever, but weaker than the usual flu, I only had some drowsiness on Thursday and a mild headache at night. This was up to Friday. 

There was also roughness on the throat (bugyiimbi-like feeling- leaves with a rough surface). 

By Friday, all those symptoms had gone. Sunday, Monday and today, I have been busy doing paperwork. I would have gone out of self – confinement but when we checked on Sunday, I was still positive, but the other parameters were good.

My social media team brought me messages that are overwhelmingly supportive. Thanks so much, fellow Ugandans. I thank those who took the trouble to sign the boards at the Gate of Nakasero.

I also noticed a few individuals from, I think, Kenya, saying that I was in ICU etc.  If I was in ICU, the government would inform the country. What is there to hide? However, I have not been to bed as a sick man in the house here except for sleeping, let alone being in a hospital bed, whether ICU or otherwise. Continue praying, we shall overcome.

Now that our People have woken up on the issue of wealth creation with dairy, coffee, fruits, palm oil, cocoa, etc., we should emphasize the issue of solar-powered irrigation to stabilize agriculture.

We do not want crops dying because of the lack of rain in ekyeya (ekyaanda- the dry season). Even without mechanized irrigation, I am able to water my crops at Kawumu and Baralegi. Of course, I use paid labour.

When I challenged my daughter, Hon. Abeja, Woman MP Otuke, why my neighbours do not copy my example by using family labour, she had a good answer. The water sources are too far for the family labour to manage. We are studying all that.

Signed:

Yoweri K. Museveni
