To gather public support for his intention to run again, Museveni has been seen handing out brown envelopes of money to poor people during public gatherings, something he has also done in the past. 
Ili adhima yake hiyo iungwe mkono na wananchi, Museveni amekuwa akionekana hadharani akikabidhi bahasha za kaki zenye pesa kwa raia maskini awapo kwenye mikusanyiko ya watu. Amekuwa na mazoea hayo hata siku za nyuma.
