And how can we not thank m7 for the joy ride?
M7 now graduated from 27 guns to using swams of tanks, mambas and battalions of both militarized police and army combined in all regions in Buganda to solve simple issues like one barring one single Cultural leader of the freedom to travel from one place to another. Mark you the person is traveling in only one direction from Kampala to Kayunga and fro. It may happen to anyone as long as you are in the opposition or if you are not known to be an nrm sympathizer, Wait when Lt Musisi former UNAA president visits Uganda, a sledge hummer will be used to crack a nut, (okukozesa embazi okwasa ekinazi).
To me those are acts of cawardness not bravity as we are meant to believe without queries. It sounds like an animal farm story by George Orwell. m7 & his short sighted government continues blundering on issues as put down for you as below; because doing so though, makes him unpopular among the masses he can now embark on a hundred percent on rigging elections come 2011 as he has always done clandestinely this time around it will be done in the open.
The key issues are:
1. The Buganda issue of Federo, confiscated property and Land in the hands of govt.
2. Lynching of Land lords in Buganda which resulted in formulating the killer wanainchi squads as in bibanja holders
3. The takeover of Kampala by the central government
4. The divisions among the Muslim community (Pro-government Mubajje) verses (Pro-Kayongo faction)
5. Militarization of the Police
6. Safe houses & extra judicial security groups like K.A.P of Kakooza mutale
7. The unending government deals (AGOA, Diary cooperation and the kichupulistic sale of Entebbe International Airport)
8. The sale of government parastatal bodies and the money is fully un accounted for
9. Famine especially in Teso,
10. Government excessive expenditure and International Relations.
The m7 govt. is faced with a lot of dilemmas too from different regions rendering him unfit to stand for 2011 elections.
11. The issue of what the people in the north commonly call genocide, the camps, Kony war, the promises that Kony will be no more and yet he is still around and alive.
The following are some of the problematic regions:
a. The Buganda issue. Because there is no known solutions available, the m7 man came out to tell Buganda that it won’t discuss any more federo, because Buganda was offered a regional tier that even does not make sense to m7 himself, this agitated Mengo and caused unrest to the central government. The government has put its foot down and told Mengo to go and hang, thus the recent clashes between the militarized police, the army and the people in Buganda region for refusing the Kabaka to travel wherever he chooses.
b. The recent discovery of Oil in Bunyoro, On the whole it is good news for the country, and the people of Bunyoro where the oil has been discovered. Bunyoro Kingdom believes it should have a stake in the Oil business and the government has been playing hide and seek, by not being too open about the discoveries, the prospects and its plans for the oil revenue and when to take off, it seems like high profiled nrm stalwarts have a big stake in the oil and have land in the oil rich region before the indigenous people of Bunyoro even got wind of it..
c. The issue of “Bafuruki” immigrants and the unti-intellectual advice given by m7 has set bad blood brewing between the indigenous Banyoro aand the Bakiga (Bafuruki). The Bakiga have amassed chunks of land slowly but surely in (Bihanga, Kamwenge, Kasese, Mubende and now in the Bunyoro areas of Kibale). This is a highly contentious issue and needs a sober and realistic approach by the m7 government. M7 has to play safe and also solicit for allies in this “Bafuruki” Saga. It has to bank on its allies in leadership who hail from Bunyoro region.
The Issue of government taking sides, has set the Bakiga, to put up offence and are not ready to let go without a fight. The Bakiga are highly placed in several Ugandan positions, in government, civil service and government bureaucracy as you can tell.
Those who are closer to the Mafioso govt. say, a cross-section of Bakiga in Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja and Kabale were not over-joyous when Dr. Ndugu Rugunda was forced out to represent Uganda at UN headquarters in New York because they view it as no less than a naked demotion.
It is highly believed that the NRM government enjoys a majority vote of the Bakiga women while the opposition FDC has a good number of votes among men and those who repelled the blackboard.
d. The Politics of Teso has also been so dear and sends chills to the NRM leadership. Political observers believe that in order to rejuvenate the Teso region back into the fold, a new strategy is has to be devised so that the Iteso and arrow groups get a fat position, Mike Mukula could be the man to talk to since he rose above the corruption allegations or in simple algebra was let off the hook, it does no good to castrate our signature values as in corruption, since also one of our corrupt man by the fine names of Amama mbabazi was left with his loot intact.
e. The issue of the return of Olara Otunu to the Political arena in Uganda is another puzzling factor that is keeping the inept corrupt regime on its toes. Otunu has served as a leader at University (NUSU Makerere University), Uganda’s permanent representative to the UN as an Undersecretary for children affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs under his Uncle the late General Tito Okello Lutwa. He is from the Acholi tribe which is dominant in Northern Uganda. The Acholi cover the current Gulu, Kitgum, Pader and Amuru districts. His entry onto the Political scene is likely to set other forces in motion like the strong links with the Catholic Church in the Acholi region and rejuvenation of the old UPC party network at the rural and urban north level.
f. It is also believed that Otunu is a close associate of HH the Kabaka of Buganda.The FDC’s strong working relations with Mengo will be boosted by Olara Otunu’s entry and Mushega has been tasked to win the entire Ankole and Rukiga sectors of southwestern Uganda. Political strategists say, the Political ground is now pregnant with high expectations and the drawing board has predictions that: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” after the regime seems to have failed to win back Nuwe Amanya mushega to the rails of corruption, bribery and Mafia style of group of companies as in nrm/o.
g. Many observers believe m7 is poised to pull a quick one and surprise Ugandans with a reshuffle in the cabinet and the army hierarchy in order to build a winning team. Talk is ripe that there is going to be a combination of forces to prepare for 2011.
h. The issue of disgruntled NRM historical, DP, FDC, UPC and all other playing forces like the Federo, the Pro-Kayongo Muslim force will all aim at bringing down the NRM rotting regime. Keen observers believe that we shall have a unity government come 2011 with many opposition forces in the new government of National unity.
i. The issue corruption & bribery; the issue of highly corrupted nrm cadres and bribery has also discredited the m7 govt, wastage of tax payers money like ferrying voters from Kampala to the recent UNAA elections has seen nrm extending its testicles sorry tentacles to USA, and waiting for dual citizenship, so much rigging is being planned.
j. The issue of Land; and who should own which property or business and where is a silly take over of private entrepreneurs way of conducting business. M7 has meddled with independent people’s business, m7 in his own understanding believes people should be made poor in order to respond to his politics of backwardness and thus if you open up to his inept ideologies then you should be rewarded in terms of cars, a govt post or chairmanship Bitature style, get business and pay allegiance to him as a mafia style kind of business or govt. in Uganda’s case.
m7 has belittled himself as a commoner that he is and has gone too far below in using his common sense and the way he hundles very common issues and blows them out of proportion has for example seen people like Ken Lukyamuzi become MP’s. that they wouldn’t have been in the first place to Ken Lukyamuzi’s daughter now as MP uptill to campaigning for Sematimba as a mere LC5.
The man is like he expects no more Heaven after death and has decided to build his own heaven on earth and everyone is expected to worship or else risk loosing your freedom of movement a name that we now know means a lot to him so as to be included in his own party nrmovement.

Maybe i am going to be the first sucide bomber M7 brace yourself as i goto hell you will join me
Please don’t tell us about Otunnu. We are fed up with this kind of recycling of the same people being imposed on Ugandans as saviours.
If Otunnu is capable of ‘liberating’ Ugandans in Uganda, why did he join the killer regime of Okello, and before that Obote’s?
Again, if Otunnu is a ‘saviour’ why didn’t he save the children that his general Kony was butchering, raping and sex enslaving to produce ‘pure’ Acholi?
And if Otunnu, supported Kony in ‘producing’ a pure Acholi race, why on earth did he himself not get married and produce those children?
I cannot imagine a man at 60 like Otunnu, unmarried, with no biological or adopted children, as an African, being respected as not only normal, but worse still some sort of ‘saviour’.
Please you guys, forget this nonsense of Otunnu as a ‘saviour’. That only shows your desparateness in trying to search for a leader.
And Norbert Mao is now a write off. After leaving his document for his UPF in an internet cafe for the security people to get hold of, we don’t need anymore ‘saviours’ of Otunnu’s or Mao’s saviour. And do you really think that a Northerner will ever rule again even if they join with the Baganda. The Baganda are also divided.
On Otunnu
Otunnu may not be the darling to embrace when referring to a political savior in Uganda neither on Kabaka issues, but nrm and its m7 have tendency of a slogan used by St Mary’s College Kisubu of “NN”, Negelect nothing, so in this context is why Otunnu may mean something to this inept nrm/o group of mafias.
These small things that m7 has not neglected have kept people in the dark of who the real m7 is kept him in power for over 22 years now. It is now evident that m7 actually does not intend to fulfill his promises to Buganda and many other individuals he may have promised anything, but have also created some problems in the country and seen other issues and people who wouldn’t have been important in exact politics like Ken Lukyamuzi and has elevated themselves to levels of belittling him or even singing his praises like Peter Sematimba.
M7 had barred Otunnu from acquiring a Ugandan passport, for what?, under normal circumstances and what Otunnu has on his record, he will never become a Ugandan president, lets face it why waste on Otunnu, but the time and attention put on Otunnu may elevate him to credible standards that may prompt m7 to waste his life thinking that he is going to become what he fears most, this is a classic example of how m7′s twisted mind works, because he came to power as a nobody himself so he thinks no body should become like him on his watch, he forgets the timing of eras and the environment that things occur.
These same impact of neglect nothing has seen m7 starting personal cheap politics projects like meddling in Busoga’s Kingdom, refusing a King in Ankore, inciting and creating fiefdoms in the Buganda Kingdom as a personal project, since he failed to tame the Buganda Lion, the Kabaka, he thought as the Baganda say that “enkoko y’omwavu teggwa kwebaaza”. In this translation, If a poor man gives you chicken he expects you to be thanking him all the time at all open opportunities, if possible m7 would be so glad to have as a slogan on CBS thanking him for restoring kingdoms all the time all day 24/7, and to his disappointing amazement it did not happen and instead the Kingdom challenged his govt on every unpopular move he has tried to do, like the land grabbing scheme, bibanja holders association and extending Kampala’s borders, leave alone m7 himself thinking that Kampala is not in Buganda and of recent stoopping the Kabaka from visting his subjects in Kayunga-Bugerere.
Previously kids were put together in a song that rhymed as “even the breast feeding Kids can see that Kampala is in Buganda” this set m7′s brains on fire. M7 has waited for such an opportunity to show his might, but the Kabaka kept on dodging him, refused to answer his phones and put m7 in his place of being a classical commoner/omukopi. But as you may know we have two types of commoners those who are well behaved and those who are not; m7 falls in those without manners and thinks that military might is the solution, that is why he even set baraalo on the farm of his former benefactor the Mzee Byanyima. Mzee Byanyima couldnt believe the level of disrespect that m7 harbors after opening doors for him in his house.
M7 , just by looking at his record has climbed ladders on other people and disrespect is his slogan as he looks for a way to turn tables on you and demand respect from you. He fires his own allies on radio and the only person he seems to agree with is Kahinda Otafiire as they are both in the same category of disrespectful buddies.
