Museveni is wrong on traditional leaders

December 28, 2008

I beg to disagree with president Museveni when he said that traditional leaders have no place in modern politics today. What is happening in Uganda is no different from what is happening in other parts of Africa as some recent years have seen the restoration of different traditional institutions across the continent. Uganda just like [...]

Stability of federalism in Uganda

December 28, 2008

What I want to inform Ugandans is that they should not be scared about the stability of Uganda and federalism in the country. Stability in most federal states is measured on the basis of three yardsticks: the constitutions, fiscal arrangements and party systems.

How Canada is a Quasi federal government?

Journalists and the media were some of the biggest casualties of the [...]

Witchcraft in Uganda

December 14, 2008

Witchcraft and Satanism are two totally different beliefs though they are both unacceptable in x-tianity and Islam. Witchcraft or Wicca worships the old pagan god/dess deities. There’s also no Satan in Witchcraft.  Satan is a Judeo-Christian/Islam thing. Wicca and Witchcraft, while often related, are not necessarily the same thing. Again, Witches and Wiccans are not [...]
