President Yoweri Museveni left a crowd in stitches after humorously comparing himself to First Lady Janet Museveni during a recent public address.
Speaking about the importance of supporting local furniture manufacturers, Museveni endorsed the idea of government institutions, MDAs, and schools being the main buyers of locally made furniture.
He praised the plan as viable and promised support, but quickly shifted tone in a lighthearted remark that amused the audience.
“The idea of government MDAs and schools being key buyers of your furniture is a good one,” Museveni said.

“And by the way, Mama Janet is no joke unlike me who’s always politicking with you, she’ll actually implement it.”
The crowd burst into laughter at the president’s candid and humorous comparison, applauding his honesty and wit.

The comment highlighted the president’s known tendency to engage in long political discussions, contrasting with the First Lady’s reputation for discipline and action-oriented leadership, particularly in her role as Minister of Education and Sports.
Janet Museveni has previously been praised for her firm stance on education reforms and accountability, and her husband’s comments seemed to affirm her serious approach to work.
The president’s statement, though laced with humor, subtly underscored the need for efficiency in government service delivery and local economic empowerment.
Museveni’s light moment humanized the event and drew positive reactions from both leaders and citizens in attendance.
