Uganda would also be less industrious or have no industries at all had it not been Museveni’s policy of privatization (never mind the sale of Shimon and Mbuya Army school lands) among others. Oh! Yes, Mr. President, I must congratulate you for consistently reminding Ugandans of the education scholarship in form of UPE. You however forget Mr. President, that what UPE has done is highlight the class differences between the Ugandan poor and Ugandan rich.

Whereas I subscribe to Kamya’s suggestion that Uganda needs change, I do not think that we need to follow the Kenyan way to realize what has been hidden from us. It is at this point that I must applaud Museveni for empowering Ugandans to exercise their voting rights. Indeed, as the President suggested, we should execute our desire for change through the ballot. However, in a country like my own where the results are known before voters get to the polling stations, are we yet to realize any change? We may go to Kololo for demonstrations in demand of change, but how are hooligans (as Mr. President refers to members and supporters of FDC) expected to bring about change?

However, if we must follow the Kenyan fashion, Hon. Kamya, how possible is it going to be to single out members of Museveni’s favored community? In Rwanda, the idea was to exterminate all Tutsi’s but the genocide swallowed both Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Right now, in Kenya, the violence has not only destabilized the favored community of Mr. Emilio but also other communities including the Luos, Kambas and Khalenjins among others. Hon. Kamya, do not forget that when the machete has been raised, it does not differentiate between some of the unprivileged members of Museveni’s community, the Bairu, Baganda, Banyoro and Batooro among others who may be in Museveni’s community area struggling to make ends meet.

Certainly, what both of you, together with your comrades in the corridors of power ought to do is gather members of all communities and educate them on the depressing effects of ethnicity – am hoping Kayihura will not teargas the gatherings! It is evident that with this word throwing and all allegations going on, Uganda is yet to catch fire. We need emancipation politics but we cannot emancipate ourselves by eliminating one particular community. For all Ugandans (favored or not), let’s remember that a politician is nothing other than a power-hungry seeking hypocrite.
