Federalism in Canada compared to Uganda

I can’t understand how some Ugandans can develop and enjoy themselves in a federal arrangement like Canada but they could not support it at home. Uganda is a country with different ethnicity and welcoming federalism will provide a viable framework for people who can live together even as they maintain their diversity. The need to reconcile diversity (ethnic, [...]

Both federalism in Uganda and East Africa federation are good

Dear people,
The government needs to do more to prepare us for the East African federation. One of the things they need to do is to sort out the acceptable system of governance in their own respective countries. Uganda should become a federal state before it even thinks of establishing itself as a power in the [...]

Mengo is more of a political than cultural institution

Dear readers,
Africa is all about culture and traditions. Politics in Africa are embedded in the cultural institutions. When religion was introduced on the scene in Africa, it also joined the equation of things. Therefore, anybody knocking on your door and starts telling you that you can separate culture and religion from politics, just send them [...]

Radios didn’t cause the genocide in Rwanda(part 1)

Dear good people,
What happened to our brothers and sisters in Rwanda is regrettable and hope it never happens in Uganda but so many factors led to the genocide in Rwanda, and therefore it cannot be compared to CBS and the recent riots.It cannot be entirely the propaganda spread by the radio RTLM alone that caused [...]

FEDERALISM AND NRMO FASCISM

Dear Ugandans,
I don’t know whether Besigye is right that Kabaka can have political power or not. I’m still thinking about it. All I know is that president Museveni has now got unbridled political power in Uganda such that nobody can stop him from doing anything he wants and that is why we need to all struggle [...]

Museveni Bunyoro proposals are comparable to Jim Crow Laws in USA

Readers,
I beg to differ from President Museveni on the issue of Banyoro-Bafuluki. What Museveni has proposed in Bunyoro will open a can of worms he will not be able to put back in the tins. Ethnic federalism don’t accomplish the goal of unity in diversity anywhere in the world. It only empowers tribalists to disseminate [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Museveni is wrong on traditional leaders

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

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. Switzerland, which is considered as highly federal on all the three counts, is [...]

How Canada is a Quasi federal government?

1. Quebec is not a poor region as some people think. It has the second largest GDP of the Canadian provinces. Its aerospace industry is ranked sixth in the world for its production value. Although it is not a country, the province of Québec has an economy whose scope compares with that of Portugal. Québec’s [...]
