Presidential hopeful Hon Robert Kyagulanyi is set to address the controversies surrounding his age and academic documents. The past weeks have seen Bobi Wine’s academic papers allover social media as lawyer Male Mabirizi claimed they are not authentic.
“I rarely pause from very important work to respond to regime propaganda aimed at detracting us from our mission. But in the recent days, allegations have been made about my academic documents and age intended to cast doubt on my integrity and character.
For the benefit of the brothers and sisters who may be shaken by these state sponsored attempts, I will address the nation tomorrow at 10am and clarify on a number of things. I will be live here,” Bobi Wine said in a post as he displayed his old passport that showed he was born in 1982 not 1980.
Earlier last week, Bobi Wine complained about the IT department of Parliament changing his information without his consent.
“This morning, my attention was drawn to an alteration in my information on the website of Parliament. My year of birth was altered from 1982 to 1980 without my knowledge.
I immediately called the IT department of Parliament and they claimed not to know who made that change. I have tasked them to explain that and will be speaking to the Director soon. In the meantime, they rectified the anomaly immediately,” he said.
