In a story from Uganda’s Daily Monitor this morning, despot Museveni’s cronies in charge of Uganda Airline Cargo boasted to have cashed-in heavily in transporting dead bodies than regular commercial and business flights. Thanks to corruption and leadership failure the airline is too weak to compete in the skies.

To become a market leader in transporting corpses is a revelation that has tickled Ugandans on social media with many asking whether the country’s Airline should be nicknamed “Uganda’s funeral airline” and compete in a sector where many other airlines have little interests.

Under criminal despot Museveni’s senility, the clipped airline could not have found anything to talk about other than dead bodies. Bloody tyrant Museveni, a devil’s advocate himself, will not bother about that business niche, after all shedding blood is his hobby and rituals.

The adventurous ‘Tuk-Tuk Airline’ which started businesses a little bit late (2019) compared to other regional Airlines has been flying through unpresented turbulences. From regular grounding due to scarcity of jet fuel, to chronic leadership failure, rampant corruption, recruitment scandals, pathetic airborne services like selling Nsenene (grasshoppers) the loss-making airline is as good as grounded.

Nevertheless, one needs to pause and think what can an octogenarian, a cancer-stricken and a bloodthirsty ruler of Uganda (Museveni) bring to the table with regard to high-end profit making businesses like Air-transport? The ruthless dictator is always grounded home, drinking millet porridge, talking about bush-war stories and penning lengthy empty speeches.

A reminder that since the restoration of Airline business in Uganda, criminal despot Museveni and his cabal have been struggling to set that Airlines in the skies, every time it tries to fly it gets crippled by either corruption and other scandals.
