Human Rights in Uganda

Dear Ugandans,
I recommend you to visit the human rights website at: www.humanrightsdefence.org. I have been browsing through it and found it so interesting. It is my belief that when a population do not know their rights, then every Tom and Dick will just play around with them in any way they want. So we probably [...]

UPC failed the 1980 test and Exam

Both NEC and NCC were dominated by UPC people .
Secondly,Nyerere was running the show in Uganda in post Amin administration and whoever acted against  his wishes was shown the way out. Lule was the 1st to be shown the way before Binaisa. Nyerere was Obote’s personal friend and he was somehow in control of the [...]

Brushing teeth in Canada or USA has the same impact as in Uganda.So is Federalism

Ugandans,
Federalism in Uganda is not bad or crap as some people have called it. It is one of the political principles in which so many nations have been organised and governed .The worlds super power; United States is among the federal nations of the world and it has been under that system for over 180 [...]

STABILITY OF ‘FEDERO’ IN UGANDA

What I want to inform anti federalists in Uganda 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. Switzerland, which is considered as highly federal on all the three [...]

Rwakasis’s freedon, Muwanga and Obote’s death and tittles was just UPC PR

Rwakasisi should not be linked to our Nelson Mandela at all. Not every murderer or thief that pops out of  prison should be linked to Nelson Mandela. I think this was a simple PR by UPC which did not go down very well. I’m also happy that Rwakasisi announced not to involve himself in politics anymore [...]

‘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 [...]

Honourable Beti Kamya Is a politician fighting for herself

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 [...]

‘Dual citizen’ Bill is another way to divide or label Ugandans

This bill is like a cancer that intends to split up Ugandans abroad and home. It is like a borderline between us and the Ugandans at home. It is not different from the bills that try to divide Uganda into more kingdoms other than those recognised by the 1962 and 1995 constitutions. What happened to [...]

SEMEI KAKUNGULU IS A UGANDAN NATIONALIST!

Increasingly, I have heard of people calling Semei Kakungulu a traitor, hero or a nationalist but I want to take my discussion to mostly the ‘nationalist’ part, whatever that might be.  At the same time, I see confusion in people who have thought of themselves  being allied with one political or ideological outlook or another [...]

The debate on national language is ongoing

I don’t know why Sir Henry Ford Mirima(Bunyoro Spokes person) addressed me as ‘omunyoro semuwemba’ but I’m here to ask him to be a part time nationalist for the first time and just look outside the box about the issue of Uganda’s national language. We should not worry about the politicians because they make policies depending on how [...]

UPC is Museveni’s ‘political capital’

I know some Ugandans still love late Obote and UPC but the continued existence of UPC as a political party is big political capital for president Museveni. He will keep reminding Ugandans how he fought Obote’s dictatorship and so on. Ugandans need to be released from the terror prison called UPC. If we can get rid of [...]

Homosexuality should not be legalised in Uganda

Dear readers,
I have worked with homos and these guys have failed to convince anyone that they have got a different body from ours. So you can understand why I’m as rigid about this as you called it. There is no conclusive scientific evidence explaining homosexuality.
Homosexuality used to be treated as a mental illness in the [...]

DONT DESTROY CEMETERIES IN CITIES FOR NEW BUILDINGS

Dear Ugandans,
The government must not destroy Jinja Road cemeteries because they want to construct new business buildings.Graves are almost in all cities in the world. In the USA, Nevada has got old cemeteries and graveyards that have become tourist attractions.  Many older cemeteries in Nevada have tour guides or park rangers on hand to provide [...]

A message to UPC’s Joseph Ochieno

Dear Ochieno,
You are very good at starting political debates  with the following words: ‘ the next Upc government’ and i would like to tell you that  the ‘” next UPC government ” mantra is not selling to some of us when the historical UPC image has not been shade off in any way.
Before independence, the UPC, [...]

Nubians are my Muslim brothers

Dear readers,
I would like to make a few comments and probably my last about this issue.

Please I would like those who are Banubi by tribe to explain to the members what they understand by a Ugandan Nubian since this is just a debate. Brother Ahmed Katerega and I have heard our say on the issue [...]

WHO IS A NUBIAN

Nubians started as a colonial army in Uganda recruited in the upper Nile region(South Sudan) by Emin Pasha before they were integrated into the civilian communities in Uganda.This happened way before the Mahdist rebellion in 1882.But they later qualified as a tribe since they developed a culture,language and religion. The original Nubians used to be [...]

NRM has not given enough political cake to Muslims

Becoming a politician is not inborn or prophetic as in like Jesus or Muhammad born with unique features of prophecy. Anybody can become a politician if the situation warrants one to become one. Kazini was teacher but he has died a military officer. Late Kiggundu Sulaiman was a banker and researcher but he died a [...]

Obote 1 had only 2 ministers

1.Obote 1 had only 2 Muslim ministers:Adoko Nekyon and Shaban Nkutu. Abu Mayanja was never in Obote 1’s cabinet. protestants were the majority in Obote 1 government though Obote 1 tried to move UPC away from the religion to make it a party for all.please find more details on the following UAH link:

Political murders and Commissions of Inquiry

Political murders happen all over the word including Uganda and in most cases such decisions are made by a few high profile people in the government. Obviously,brother Katerega as an NRM cadre will keep telling you otherwise. Kenya has got very good institutions such that even the murders of Tom Mboya in 1969 and J. [...]

Why is Kenya more politically stable than Uganda

Kenya’s political stability rests on a balance within the military system, on the centralization of power within the state structure and on the neutralization of potential organized opposition.I dont know wther this is a good thing but atleast these guys are more stable than us. They have got less BIG BOYS in the army and [...]
