Folks:
The reaction to President Museveni’s innovative proposal illustrates one thing : NRMO and perhaps even President Museveni himself take online forums very seriously. They are the ones distilling ideas and benefiting from them. Sections of the opposition may be represented in Ugandan online forums but they are asleep like maziwa laala.
Sections of the opposition (so far not DP and UPC) have responded out of ignorance to President Museveni idea. To hear FDC people react is revealing as how strategically inept and dumb they are.
For starters-those interested in Ethnic federalism should spend their time and read the proposal at www.federo.com and yes you FDC people you better read it too-there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about Ethnic federalism were President Museveni choose to have it legalized. Let those speaking from a position of ignorance do some Google search if they are too lazy to visit www.federo.com whether there are countries with stronger protections against discrimination than Uganda that have embraced Ethnic Federalism.
Did sections of the opposition even digest YKM’s letter? In whose interest was the proposal being put forward? Well YKM is actually trying to make Bunyoro hospital to land seekers aka bafuruki/internal immigrants. But YKM also sent a clear message top land seekers: yes go seek land in Bunyoro but forget dominating Banyoro. Forget it kabisa and completely.
Now here is a question to UAH: which ethnic group in Uganda is willing to be dominated by abafuruki’ and seekers/newcomers? People should name me some example.
Secondary, why would land seekers/Abafuruki try to dominate ‘owners’? I challenge sections of the opposition who believe that YKM has committed political suicide to go to any part of Uganda and find out whether they disagree with YKM’s proposal. I may have lived out of that country for 20 plus years, but I am willing to bet that the majority, yes the majority of Ugandans agree 110 with President Museveni. They will cheer him in the hope that he will be consistent on the question of “Abafuruki”-what is the meaning of this word anyways?
Once again, I fully endorse President Museveni.
If some of the Abafuruki are full of themselves that are they are political geniuses, like I have said let them go back to their respective home/original/ethnic homelands and offer them leadership too. Charity begins at home.
Mark you every ethnic groups has its home base so go back there and contest for political office.
Guess what, either people embrace YKM’s proposal or no land. President Museveni could not put it that crudely but that is the matter folks.
Also remember that YKM needs to keep three regions-Buganda, Busoga and Bunyoro within NRMO territory to win. He just did with Bunyoro.
But on a serious note why are sections of the opposition not politically savvy? Why do not they not reflect a bit more? Put simply, why do they respond faaaa!
