English should be more promoted in East Africa than Swahilli

1. It is true that USA has got no official language . It is again true that official languages are those designated by the law. However, a language can be considered to be de facto official language, meaning that although a language may have no official status in a particular country, it is the most [...]

Rwandan genocide wasn’t caused by radio RTLM(part 2)

Dear readers,
Yes, there is a lot of literature to back up arguments that radio RTLM was responsible for the Rwanda genocide but  like i said two weeks ago, a genocide has never happened anywhere I know in the world unless it is supported and caused by the government in power. So this thing of a [...]

Suharto Vs Museveni in CBS fm AND Suubi fm saga

Dear readers,
The solution lies in president Museveni or whoever becomes the president in 2011 to start listening to the people they lead.All this arrogance of ‘i can do anything i want as long as I’m in power‘ should stop.Suharto (who came to power in 1966 in Indonesia) also had almost similar media measures as Museveni [...]

Buganda’s CBS fm is not comparable to UNITA’s Guerilla radio

Yes, Savimbi’s clandestine radio played an important role in the 30-year war in Angola.It provided UNITA rebels broadcasting, provided a means of recruiting supporters, sustaining rebellion and appealing for external support . This is totally different from CBS since Buganda is not in some form of armed struggle against the government. However, CBS can be [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Why Buganda needs its all assets restored?

After weakening the multiparty politics in Uganda, the only threat to NRMO ideology and Museveni’s presidency is the existence of Buganda kingdom and the free media. The president’s ‘Big eyes’ have now rolled over to tackle these two problems. When you analyse Uganda politics critically, it looks like we have got no opposition any more [...]

Buganda ‘Think Tank’ is a good idea

I do back the idea of a Buganda ‘think tank’ proposed by Omutaka Kavuma in one of the Uganda leading newspapers but my gut feeling tells me that it won’t be implemented or it is difficult to be implemented considering the political climate in Uganda. It is amazing that Buganda which was the birth of political [...]

Buganda is already a semi-state

I would like to tell you and all other peace loving Ugandans that Buganda is already a state on its own. All it lacks is an army and direct political power. Buganda kingdom has developed institutions, financing mechanisms and policy tools since its restoration in 1993. What we don’t know is how the Buganda kingdom [...]
