It looks like the NRM has been handing out 50,000 UGX notes (about $15 USD) as they've traveled around the country hosting rallies. Museveni, the incumbent, has been arriving to some rallies by helicopter which allows him to cut down on travel time a lot. He has a full entourage of yellow trucks with open beds and huge speaker systems and busses that are used to bring people from more remote areas. Apparently the man you see in the photo above, was beat up badly soon after that photo went viral since people knew he had so much cash on him.
Elections are on the 18th and I'm heading to Kenya for the week to escape the potential (and likely) craziness that will ensue. I'll spend a few days hanging out at Diani Beach before spending the weekend in Nairobi hanging out with Kristy and Hannah - can't wait!
