Ugandans-At-Heart

kamya,besigye and late dr.kiggundu when all still buddies

Kamya is a product of regional integration as the father is from Uganda and the mother from Kenya. Beti should not be allowed to glorify tribal sectarianism as it will set a bad precedent in this multtribal and multi religious colonial state.

We are all with prejudices. We, Bannabuddu from the south of Buganda, think that Bannakyaggwe, from the east of Buganda are night dancers and man eaters may be because of the infamous Kawuulu case. But Baganda proper think the same of us Bannabuddu and Bannakyaggwe. So Baganda and southerners have their prejudices against Northerners and vice versa. Otherwise my neighbouring parish in Mijwala sub county, Mawogola county, is Kidokolo, which was base for road constructors whose staff was predomknantly Bakokolo probably from Dokolo county. Although UPC was an anti-Buganda party before, during and after a marriage of convenience with Kabaka Yekka, our leaders have not been as tribal as Beti Kamya portrays herself and them. FRONASA had people like Akena P’Ojok and Fr.Okoth. NRM had people like Ronald Batta. UFM’s Chief of Staff originally was Maj.Oboma. So there no anti northern agenda. However UNLA which predominantly Acholi and Langi, and to an extent Teso in Special Force, has a bad genocide record in Luwero Triangle and West Nile. It is factual. L am not a tribalist that is why lam proud of being a Luo Mubiito.

We have five constitutional offices. President, Vice President, Speaker, Chief Justice, Deputy Speaker, Deputy Chief Justice and Prime Minister. Gilbert Bukenya, Edward Srekandi, Leticia Kikonyogo and Aplo Nsibambi are Baganda. Benjamid Odoki and Rebeca Kadaga are easterners and only Museveni is a Westerner. Unfortunately, there is no northerner nor a Muslim. Probably Moses Ali should have been the one.

In the forces, they only parade Chief of Defence Forces, Inspector General of Police and Commissioner General of Prisons. But we are a land locked country and the post that made Idi Amin and Oyite Ojok powerful is occupied by Lt.Gen.Edward Katumba Wamala.I think meritocracy is better than tribal and religious awards.Even politically one wonders for Ugandans to look at Besigye and Muntu as alternative to Museveni. All are westerners

I think l stated that Princess Rebecca ALitwala Kadaga and Justice Benjamin Odoki are easterners. Baganda are foresighted and they don’t condemn the enitre government unless it has turned against them. That is why they worked with the British and they gained copared to our Bunyoro cousins. Thay only turned against Obote because he abolished their kingdom. But l agree with you some Baganda and other Ugandan leaders are working for their stomachs and not for their country. We shall weed them out, God willing. Tribalists and nepotists are also still there, we shall eject them one by one. Let’s be hopeful. By the way hadn’t Obote antagonised Bganada no body was bothered whether the army is Northern dominated. People start raising who is who in government and army when they have griavances that are not addressed.
