A minor candidate in next year’s Ugandan
presidential election said he will repatriate the
remains of dictator Idi Amin and build a museum in
his honour, local media reported Monday.
Abed Bwanika, a two-time election loser who
garnered less than one percent of the vote in 2006
and 2011, made the declaration during a campaign
visit to Amin’s homeland in northwest Uganda.
“Amin made significant contributions which should
be respected, and we shall bring back his remains
for a decent burial,” a report in the Daily Monitor
newspaper quoted Bwanika as saying.
“My government will construct a library and a
museum in memory of the former president,”
Bwanika added.
Amin died in exile in Saudi Arabia in 2003 where he
is buried and had lived since being overthrown in
1979. Amin’s eccentric eight-year rule was
characterised by buffoonery and brutality, helping
his name become a shorthand for African
dictatorship and violent misrule.
Since Amin’s death, periodic calls have been made
for the repatriation of his remains, most recently in
February when Catholic leaders said it would help
foster national reconciliation.
Burial abroad is also believed to bring misfortune on
surviving relatives and descendants.
In his campaign so far Bwanika has taken to crowd-
pleasing posturing in a bid to take on the incumbent
President Yoweri Museveni — in power since 1986
and widely expected to win the February 2016 poll —
and his two main challengers, both former allies in
the ruling National Resistance Movement.
Last month Bwanika told a rally in the capital
Kampala that homosexuals needed to have their
“demons” exorcised.
“We cannot accept to be pushed into homosexuality
by the West,” said the politician and Christian
pastor, referring to a common misconception about
the causes of homosexuality.
“All homosexuals will be rehabilitated because they
have demons and we have specialists to chase out
demons,” Bwanika said.
