ICC is good for Africa

1. a)We have got to support the existence of the ICC because Africa is the top beneficially compared to other countries. This treaty which created the ICC is not even as old as Museveni’s regime or Kony’s war in the north because it was adopted in 1998 at an international conference in Rome after intense [...]

Public spending during recession and Uganda

 It is true that governments where recession has hit hard are borrowing money and increasing spending WHERE IT IS NECESSARY. ‘Where is necessary’ involves pumping more money into the banking system or nationalising some banks but not buying expensive jets for the executives or presidents or increasing the salaries/bonuses of company executives or public workers. [...]

Rich Masaka Men In Kampala should develop Masaka

I suggest that Ugandans should try to develop where they originally come from instead of solely depending on the government. The northerners should start putting money in the north instead of pouring most of their money in Buganda . The same goes for Banamasaka, bateso, batoro, Basoga, banansana, banabutambala, banabushenyi, e.t.c. I’m basically advancing for [...]

Common Man’s Charter Vs 10 point programme

Let us go slow on the comparison between Common Man’s Charter and Museveni’s 10 point programme. I’m not a Museveni sympathiser but sometimes I’m forced to defend his paper policies when some one starts ‘sugarcoating’ Obote’s failures. Ok, let us see what we know so far about these two paper policies:
1.Obote’s first administration started off [...]

‘Balalo’ and the land tittles

1. The current land bill in Uganda comes across as a document fighting for the small landlords or landless in Uganda but it loses its moral platform when the biggest land grabbers become the big people in the government or the elites in Uganda . So [...]

Land wont be developed under corruption

1. We all agree that land is such a special resource anywhere in the world but if you read the proposals suggested by some people on how to maximise output on land(getting rid of peasant landlords) in Uganda , they are good but not realistic. By realistic, I mean, no politician including can genuinely [...]

‘Sowing the Mustard seed’ is both Museveni and Obote’s book

‘Sowing the Mustard seed’ is both Museveni and Obote’s book. It is a book which don’t tell us a lot about some of the main things we need to know. I actually pray that another of the historicals like Besigye  and Muntu write a different book and keep it somewhere to act as a second [...]

Namugongo Martyrs day should not be celebrated

All I’m saying that the word ‘martyrdom’ is used biasly by people to fit their situations. What is the difference between Muslims that have died for their religion and the Christians that sacrificed their lives at Namugongo because their religion conflicted with the demands of the then Kabaka of Buganda. Can we say that people [...]

Uganda Martys were not really martyrs(part 2)

Please do not take definitions in the dictionary as giving all the answers you are looking for in words and life. That’s why we have got thesaurus aside within the dictionary. Please don’t take words at face value. Let me try to put more beef and bones on this issue once again and see if [...]

Secrets Should be Protected at any level

Dear Ugandans,
As i watched sky sports news some time after work, my mind straightway went to the current saga going on between Beti Kamya and his party,FDC when I saw the news that Gallas William, has lost his Arsenal captaincy and. As a Chelsea supporter, I was so disturbed when Gallas crossed to Arsenal from Chelsea but [...]

BETI IS A POLITICIAN FIGHTING FOR HERSELF NOT BUGANDA

I would like to make one thing clear: I have got nothing personal against Beti Kamya. If I’m to look into my heart and not brain, I think I admire Beti’s passion and a bit of honesty when she is writing or saying things. I used to spend hours every day with my grandfather listening [...]

Muslim solidarity and brotherhood will help muslims achieve alot

Muslim brotherhood is mandatory in Islam. All Muslims are obligated to feel the pain of another Muslim being tortured anywhere in the world. That is why I can understand why Muslims are demonstrating against Israel in so many African countries. By the way, a certain Muslim brother called me to say that he is disappointed [...]

LOYALTY VS COMPETENCE

I’m gonna sound a bit confusing and like I’m defending Museveni’s poor policies but I’m not. I just want to defend his policy of loyalty to those closely working with him out of personal conviction when it comes to loyalty. Personal loyalty is fine and I don’t want to be among those that put Museveni’s [...]

2009 Recession in the UK

 What is happening on the UK economy has really scared me a lot. The British economy is running down very fast. Yes, what is happening in the world economy right now has happened before but I don’t think I was even born by then. That is why I have to take the forecasting done today [...]

Africa, Buganda and East African federalism is all good

We should support any form of federalism on the continent. We should support the federalism within Uganda ( Buganda, bunyoro, busoga and northern federalism). We should also support the East African federalism and the General Africa federalism that will eventually bring about the United States of Africa.
 
 Let us all agree that African borders that separate [...]

Habyarimana assasination and modesty in leaders

1. Habyarimana just like Museveni came into power through violence. While Museveni’s violence was justified because he had to get rid of Obote Dictatorship and had a convincing democratic plan on paper, Habyariman’s was not because his coup did not have any democratic plan ahead. Habyarimana came into power when the order of the day [...]

The 2007 Land Bill wasn’t done in good spirit

1. The current land bill in Uganda comes across as a document fighting for the small landlords or landless in Uganda but it loses its moral platform when the biggest land grabbers become the big people in the government or the elites in Uganda . So what is the use of this bill when even [...]

Obote was just like Amin and not the greatest Ugandan

I don’t know why some people think Obote is the greatest man Uganda WILL ever produce. Well, I’m sorry to say that I don’t agree with them at all. Let us scrutinise their hero:
1.      Obote was the man who started coups in Uganda by illegally ousting president Mutesa in 1966. This same year he abolished kingdoms and is partly [...]
