The problem of Uganda political class

THE UGANDAN REVOLUTIONARIES

MAVERICKS OR MACHIAVELLIS? ( THE UGANDAN REVOLUTIONARIES)

“A year ago, we were all about Amama Mbabazi.
Several weeks ago, Andrew Mwenda launched an offensive against Dr. Kizza Besigye.
Now, Stella Nyanzi against the First Lady is the thing.

The truth however is that all these things to me seem useless. Because, for example Amama Mbabazi left a trail of broken hearts and he is now enjoying his acquired wealth. Besigye now has some lousy campaign about Land grabbing, Andrew Mwenda is busy with other things that market him and his magazine despite being labeled an idiot, a sellout and a shameless homosexual. Stella Nyanzi, well, before this she had stripped naked in protest to Mamdani (‘s mistreatment). Also, her anger is well founded as she was a week back stopped from attending a conference in Netherlands.

Let me not even talk about Frank Gashumba, who caught the attention of the president and was even invited to his country home in Rwakitura. Or, let me not talk about the rebel MPs including Barnabas Tinkasimire and Ssekikubo.

As for the rest of us behind our touch screens, we wait for the next bait to ware our typing fingers out.

I want an objective person, one more objective and more honest than me to tell me when Uganda’s supposed middle class will put their smart phones down and take action that has real impact and fosters real change as opposed to dancing to the tunes of useless and inconsequential battles so that we can in this superficial bubble, at least for a moment forget our miserable situation as citizens of the republic of Uganda.

For example when Stella Nyanzi was summoned to the CID headquarters, she called upon all Ugandans of “good will” to join her there and give her campaign a desired push but just a handful turned up. Something that has now sent her to put in the time herself and lobby companies and politicians in a drive that has seen her kiss and praise Kato Lubwama as a very sane and reasonable politician in addition to her apology for all utterances she made against that good man of the land.

But all this while you like her posts, comment on them and share them, winning that sense of gratification because someone at least got the balls to hurl insults the regime you apparently abhor! Have you for a moment thought that she could actually be frustrated?
One time Hon. Betty Nambooze talked of Ugandans who meet her and say they wish Uganda had 100 more Namboozes. So, do you wish that we had 100 Stella Nyanzis too?

Are you not like that neighbor who can’t do a thing about his rapist neighbor but laughs out loud in jubilation when goats graze in their family graveyard?

If I may challenge you now, what is your role in the “revolution”? Are you any relevant in the struggle? How different are you from those who have just shut up anyway because they just can’t do a thing? Are you not the same people that sang hymns in the name of Nambooze and Betty Kamya or Nabiira Sempala yet now you chase them out of DP, call them sellouts and gay sympathizers respectively?

Have you lost yourselves in this superficial bubble so much that you now can’t see the truth before you, one election after the other?

I am not asking you to be reasonable. I am just asking you to be honest- to yourselves and the struggle you apparently believe in and can cause you to swear, call one an idiot, or praise one who does so.”

A Letter of dismissal whatever your place in society triggers panic and a sense of helplessness

My pursuit for fairness cost me my position at Uganda Christian University. Dismissal at the end of my second year left a bitter taste of injustice in my mouth.

Before my expulsion from University, I was an academic beneficiary of the kind fruits the societal tree of charity bore. After mother broke up with father, she took me and my siblings to her mother in Mpigi where we enrolled into UPE. Two years later, I came to Kampala where mother had returned. Lack of space in her single rented room meant I couldn’t live with her. I enrolled in a school the area Councillor had started to provide free education.

Before long, costs of running the school forced the poor woman into requesting parents for contribution. We were too poor to afford.

An aunt who vended charcoal took me to another school. I was demoted to Primary 2 from primary 5 as a prerequisite to securing a scholarship. Every evening, I endured chants from pupils who lined the school fence chanting.
‘An old man in P.2, an Old Man in P2.’
I was never deterred. I was keen on catching up. I negotiated with my former school so that they could allow my sister study under a scholarship I had benefited from. She was allowed to study. It was cheaper than affording another school.

‎ When I joined secondary, I sold peanut butter (odii/kipoli) packed in polythene bags within school; in the school holidays breaks, I served as a porter at building sites in a bid to raise income. I braved through.

I watched the pine trees I had laboriously planted get destroyed by malicious relations. The organization which sponsored my education has always been kind to me.

When I walked to Seroma High school seeking admission into A’level, the deputy head teacher asked to see the ‘student.’ She was surprised to learn I wasn’t a parent but rather ‘the student.’‎

I enrolled at the Law school of Uganda Christian University. I’ve always appreciated the fact that our world is strongly secularised. I voiced my concerns over the unwritten rule that only an Anglican could be a Guild President at Uganda Christian University. I was disturbed by the University’s failure to unify. I’ve always respected the faiths of others, despite being a Muslim. I refuse to judge one by who/ what they believe in, having once been adopted by a Christian family in Mbale for a good period of time. The organization which catered for my education operates in the confines of the Christian faith.

To sideline one’s leadership abilities basing on this particular rule wasn’t fair. When a student died inside a hostel affiliated to the University 30 minutes after an accident. I was chastised for branding the University Clinic a lazy dog. I personally felt life had been lost in a manner I considered unfortunate. That hadn’t been the first time I was chastising the University clinic for negligence.

‎ When a resolution was passed increasing tuition without consulting students, I wrote a letter demonising the illegality of the increment for non consultation of students, key stake holders in the University. The total increment imposed on residents was 470,000 UGX. I found this unacceptable and decided I would empower my colleagues by writing to the university.

The university administration was surprised by my decision to dispute the increment. ‎ What the University failed to understand is that I wasn’t doing this for me. I had taken a stand for others, I had taken a stand for the countless beneficiaries of loan schemes. I had taken a stand for the various privately sponsored students labouring to raise tuition. My sponsors could afford to pay any amount of tuition, not everyone was lucky though.

On the last day of that semester, students assembled at the Agape Square, in a peaceful consultative meeting while they awaited the Vice Chancellor to address them. The meeting was labeled a demonstration. There were no placards, no chants, no procession or violence. The meeting wasn’t called by me. I wasn’t even around University that morning. I and a colleague, Simon Semmuwemba were branded ring leaders. Simon had equally been critical in demanding for accountability for funds collected. We were summarily deemed improper elements, summarily tried by the University Disciplinary Committee and dismissed.

‎ I stood my ground against unfairness and lost my student status at University. “I have always strived to see people liberated. My convictions have often turned me into a subject of public criticism. I discovered that there’s no liberty that can be achieved by an illiterate man. Once a man attains liberty, the men behind him, attain liberty.

Bobi Wine's Busabala one Love Beach driveway

 
Mengo must come out officially and explain what led to the catarpillar grading of Bobi Wine’s Busabala one Love Beach driveway. If this is not just out of envy, why would a person of sound mind come and destroy a drive way which serves both the proprietor and his neighbourhood? I know land is valuable but Bobi Wine’s contribution to Buganda is worth that small piece of land(if at all he didnt buy it). When we read history, we see Sekabakas giving away chunks and chunks of land to loyal servants in appreciation of their services to the kingdom. People like Nsibambi, Ham Mukasa, Nagenda, Appollo Kaggwa, Nelson Edmond Nkalubo Sebugwawo, Walusimbi Mpanga, Mulira, Kulubya, Stanislaus Mugwanya, Kisosonkole etc all benefited from their loyalty to the kingdom. Dont tell me land was worthless then, land has always had value. Now when i see Bobi Wine’s drive way destroyed just because of non payment or anything else(whatever the reason), my heart sinks. The Katikkiro himself paid a courtesy visit and planted a tree in the same place, that was a sign of closeness to the Kingdom, why was it difficult for the land board to involve him to come to an amicable solution. We must stop running to people when we want to use them and shun away when they are caught at the wrong hand of the law. Bobi Wine’s issue could have been avoided through mutual understanding. You must look at the followers a person has before engaging him and weigh your actions in reference to the possible results arising from your action. Bobi is very insipirational to ghetto youths; a very hard working youngman whom Mengo should use as a role model in their campaign towards empowering youths to work.
Actually,the land in question doesnt have any parmanent structure but a beautified drive way for Godsake, why would you be mean to that extent?

My question is; If we go by our previous Sekabaka’s way of appreciation, Is Bobi Wine’s contribution to Buganda not worth ½ an acre of land? If yes, why this?

Amanya gange nze Henry Katamba Bafiirawala Ndugwa, ndi muzzukulu wa Ndugwa era neddira Lugave, njagala nyo Obuganda naye bwendaba abaganda abatulugunya baganda banabwe ku ttaka lya Buganda omutima gwange gwenyika.

THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER

I am appealing to all Ugandans to pay attention to the plight of our sisters and daughters who are languishing in unknown detention centres in different middle east countries.According to this audio,these girls were taken from Uganda with a promise of lucrative jobs but what they got,and are still going through is a HORROR!! I have have been requested to play my part and so I will. I am also asking all of you friends to pass on this message to anyone that may be of help. I am soon to approach the concerned offices to see how quick these vulnerable Ugandan girls can be rescued.

NOT EVEN A SINGLE OPPOSITION CANDIDATE TO PUT UP A CONTEST

How DOES FDC AND BESIGYE SAY THEY WANT TO CHALLENGE MUSEVENI WHEN IN MOROTO A DISTRICT WOMAN MP COMES UNOPPOSED. NOT EVEN A SINGLE OPPOSITION CANDIDATE TO PUT UP A CONTEST. HE JUST PLAYS DIKULA POLITICS FOR TELEVISION.

MOBILE MONEY OVERTAKES COMMERCIAL BANKS, GOVERNMENT DISABLES SIM CARDS

Uganda Banks are closing business daily as majority low income earners/lower class citizens choose to save their money on phone.

In a reckless and panic effort to save these collapsing banks, the Uganda communications commission has given a 7 day ultimatum to block all sim cards that would not be registered within that short period.
As we speak now, over 500bilion has been withdrawn from mobile accounts just two days after the ultimatum.

Millions of low income earners consider banks to be a cheating tool for the rich owners because of their costly charges. Mobile money has been much favorable.

The majority lower class citizens/low income earners will prefer hiding their money and their beds over saving in ‘cheating’ banks!

Implications

-Over 20milion sim cards will be blocked and Telecom companies will close business!
-90% low income earners will resort to their old culture of hiding money at home. Banks will continue to close business!

Where’s the essence?

[Yoweri Museveni]

One of the University lecturers wrote an expressive message to his students at the doctorate, masters and bachelors level and placed it at the college entrance in the university in south Africa.
And this is the message;

*”Collapsing any Nation does not require use of Atomic bombs or the use of Long range missiles. But it requires lowering the quality of Education and allowing cheating in the exams by the students”.*

The patient dies in the hands of the doctor who passed his exams through cheating.

And the buildings collapse in the hands of an engineer who passed his exams through cheating.

And the money is lost in the hands of an accountant who passed his exams through cheating.

And humanity dies in the hands of a religious scholar who passed his exams through cheating.

And justice is lost in the hands of a judge who passed his exams through cheating.

And ignorance is rampant in the minds of children who are under the care of a teacher who passed exams through cheating.

*”The collapse of education is the collapse of the Nation”*

PROMISES AND THE REASON TO CELEBRATE EASTER

Happy Good Friday. At some point today, Jesus Christ will be killed and rise from the dead on Sunday to make eternal life possible. On the cross, sin intersected with holiness. For now, we care less as a promise was kept 3 days later (Mark 16:9). Do you ever imagine what this world would be like if Jesus Christ had not kept his word to rise from the dead 3 days later as promised?

Fast forward, 2017 years later, our own ‘jesus’ emerged from the bushes of Luwero to carry the cross in the form of a problematic Uganda. Ugandans were all convinced by the 1986 liberators and the support to the cause of a new Uganda was steady, unwavering and resolute. Loads of promises were made to the ever and always patient, gullible Ugandans. But as we have come to realise, Pierce Brown summed it up his Golden Son, that “Liars make the best promises.” We are glad the Son of God kept his word, the more reason we have to celebrate Easter Sunday.

“I know it is a bad thing to break a promise, but I think now that it is a worse thing to let a promise break you.” ― Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light

“Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them,” I said. Isaac shot me a look. “Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don’t you believe in true love?” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“In the first place, you shouldn’t believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don’t keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

It’s interesting, how Mengo has always screwed up – to devastating effects on the BAGANDA. For example, they(Mengo) allied with Obote, ignoring Ben Kiwanuka – a fellow MUGANDA.
One would think, they would have learned from, that debacle. But – no!. They made the same mistake again, by allying themselves with the Banyarwanda(western Ugandans) gunmen/crime cartel – ignoring Dr. Kayiira and Lt. Col. Nkwanga, their fellow BAGANDA. Did they learn from, that mistake?. No, they still run around with the Banyarwanda(western Ugandans) gunmen/crime cartel and their associates – the likes of Kabushenga!.
The result is now, that Mengo is starting to lose its legitimacy – pretty fast. BAGANDA are increasingly getting fed up with them.

[Yoweri Museveni]

I dont support mob justice but if people are fighting those that grabb their land i wil always support,Mengo under the NKULUZE are full of thieves,land grabbers,and thugs.

They are razing pipo’s land and destroying properties worth millions,the people of luwero thank you for burning and chasing those idiots sent by Mayiga,next time dont only burn graders,burn the thugs too and kill them.

“”Allah wabuyinza bwenawabudeko ku nkwatibwa yensonga ze takka,abakulembeze baffe emengo bwebazikute banji bampalalide naye nze bwemba ku mazima ne bwoyogela otya sikangibwa,

Kantwale omukisa guno nate nebaze abatuuze bbe luweero abelwanyeko nga abenkuluze batuunze etakka eliwelela dala yiika bibiri okuli abantu .nakyo munatugamba nti beene yeyasimye?

Abenkuluze bategeza kati webituuse luno lutalo lwa takka temugenda kukyayisa kabaka nga tutunula. Nkunga buli muntu wemubalabilako mwekolemu omulimu nga abe luweero bwebakoze nebokya ne tulakita jebagambye ebade ekulebedwamu owenkuluze.”” Makolo kavuma

The government’s failure to empower people to utilize their land productively and get themselves out of abject poverty is a deliberate move intended to make the general citizenry look at agriculture as an unproductive and and unrewarding venture. These robbers in leadership then want to take advantage of a vulnerable poor population to grab their land and invest in commercial agricultural production as it is the only sustainable investment that fertile soils and good climate can reliably support with an ever growing market and NOT THE USED CAR BUSINESS, BARS AND DISCOTHEQUES THAT HAD EARLIER INVESTED IN.

[Yoweri Museveni]

Fact: Museveni, Salim Saleh and John Katende are the reason why Mayiga joined Mengo in 1993, managed to return after the Regional Tier debacle and later became Katikkiro in 2013, executing the MOU after only a few weeks after getting in office.

Fact: Mayiga knowingly misled Kabaka Mutebi to sign the MOU, believing that his father, Ssekabaka Muteesa, was the legal and personal owner of all Buganda Kingdom assets which Obote grabbed in 1966 and he (Mutebi) had a right to register them in his names if returned.

Fact: Since the MOU signing, the Kabaka of Buganda is a hostage who can neither tell his subjects his true thoughts nor fire Mayiga without approval or threats by Museveni and Salim Saleh.

Fact: In the tradition of Katikkiro Apolo Kaggwa who lied to Baganda that he signed the 1900 Land Grabbing Deal on instructions of an infant Ssekabaka Cwa, Mayiga has convinced many unsuspecting Baganda that everything he does is on Kabaka Mutebi’s orders, scaring them from questioning his actions.

Fact: Mengo has gotten highly dependent on monthly payments that Museveni sends regularly since Mayiga became Katikkiro, to support payroll, Mayiga’s security, travel and other purposes.

Fact: Mayiga has committed Buganda assets in a few large multi-year investment partnerships with single-source Ugandans and foreigners since 2013. It is too early to tell if any of the investments is financially viable but the committed Buganda assets are at high risk.

[Yoweri Museveni]

Ever Since Ths Man Became A Katikiro, Mengo Became A Den Of Bafere, Mayiga Is A Museveni Die Hard, Wen Museveni Realised That He Couldt Win Buganda Through External Forces, He Made Sure That Mayiga Becomes Katikiro To Make A Surgical Operation(self Destruction), M7 Gave Mayiga Buganda Tittles With A Deal That Mayiga Evicts Baganda 4rm Land So That They Hate Their Kingdom. Mayiga Has Nt Helped Baganda Who Are Being Evicted From Their Places Of Work, E.G Park Yard, Batembeyi, Baganda Are Being Slaughter In Greater Masaka But The Man Is Quite, Baganda Are Rotting In Arab Countries’ Cells. He Is Doing Nothing. Am Calling Upon People With Buganda At Heart Like Mp Bakireke Nambooze To Come Out And Mobilise Us To Ask For Mayiga’s Resignation, It Once Happened, Michael Kintu Was Forced To Resign, It Can Happen Again, The Man Is Working For Museveni Instead Of Serving Kabaka.
