I Didn't Get Rich From Working For Govt - Ugandan President

President Yoweri Museveni has scoffed at naysayers who accuse him of having accumulated wealth from government, saying that he has achieved it through hard work.

Responding to social media commentators about a photo he posted together with his son General Muhoozi Kainerugaba at his farm, Museveni said it is not true that he has depended on government coffers to become rich in the last 40 years.

He says nobody in his family ever worked for the government until 1965, when he worked as a teacher at Bweranyangyi Senior Secondary School and has been involved in African resistance in the last 63 years.

The president who has been in power for 31 years insisted that the wealth he has is through hard work in his private ventures.
