Former Museveni critic turned best defender, Andrew Mwenda won’t let Bobi Wine off the hook very easily. He is now questioning how a man who carries a bag of $3,000 and flies business class can claim to fight for poor people.
Mwenda obsession into the singing politician’s political rise has gone a notch higher valuing his belongings and juxtaposing them with those of the people he is reportedly fighting for.
After Bobi Wine posted a photo on his Facebook with the caption “Heading home”, Mwenda picked on the photo and has since been throwing jibes at the self-styled “Ghetto President” for what he calls hypocrisy.
Bobi Wine with a $1,300 Louis Vuitton bag ready to board KLM’s business class to Uganda to fight for the poor. If Museveni has stifled Ugandans from prospering, how did Bobi Wine make so much money from his talent to live in a castle, drive expensive cars and carry luxury bags? pic.twitter.com/6O0KifEgTZ

In a follow-up tweet, Mwenda said that the suitcase is actually $3,000 translating to Shs11.4million.
I have finally checked for Louis Vuitton suitcases online and the one Bobi Wine is carrying in this picture below (unless it is a Chinese fake) is not $1,300 but $3,000. So much for the struggle for the poor. pic.twitter.com/gW7FFDHDcN

“…Bobi Wine’s success in music and in business, like the success of so many other Ugandans in other fields of endeavor, is evidence that Uganda has the enabling environment for individual success,” Mwenda further said.
