Mbabazi keeps contradicting himself and confusing us

It is evident that this campaign period has brought out the best and worst in people, especially the presidential candidates. I want to focus my attention on the former premier Amama Mbabazi who seems to have double standards when it comes to most of the claims and promises he is making on the campaign trail.
Last week, Mr Mbabazi accused Kenya’s deputy president William Ruto of meddling in Uganda’s internal affairs and acting in violation of Uganda’s sovereignty.
This is the same Mbabazi who in 2011, as former premier and National Resistance Movement secretary general then, did not object when the then prime minister of Kenya Raila Odinga came to campaign for President Museveni ahead of the 2011 general election in Busoga sub-region. It is also public knowledge that Mbabazi was part of the group of Opposition leaders who met Mr Odinga in Nairobi in October as they attempted to agree on a sole candidate to run against President Museveni in the forthcoming general election.
Who can believe Mbabazi now? Many times he has made claims, that if he is voted president he would increase pay and improve housing for teachers, among other civil servants but in September 2011 it was the same Mbabazi, then the prime minister, who threatened that they (teachers) would be sacked because they were striking for a pay raise that the government had failed to implement.
There is a saying that a leopard cannot change its spots.
