Cheap popularity politics has always engulfed m7′s way of hundling political issues & personal issues mixed together, he has succeeded in some ways and the shortcomings have overtaken his advantages in the shortest run.
On Otunnu; Otunnu may not be the die-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”, Neglect 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 or any 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, Nambooze, Mulindwa Muwonge, Peter Mayiga and many others you may care to know in your respective regions, these people have elevated themselves to levels of belittling m7 and his govt or even singing his praises like Peter Sematimba, ngoma ngime and baguma isoke etc.
M7 works in undermining ways, violation of individual rights, isolation and limiting freedom of movement, he 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 time 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, ” some one to undo his questionable legacy” as if he cares so much about it, 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 and the environment that things occur.
This same impact of neglect nothing has seen m7 starting personal cheap politics projects like creating more and more districts to divide and rule, if one big district is taken up by the opposition he creates more smaller regions within the big one, meddling in Busoga’s Kingdom, refusing a King in Ankore, Bunyoro and bafuruki in an oil hide and seek deal, 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 actually 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 weave, 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 withdrawing the Kabaka’s security army men and limiting/stopping the Kabaka from visiting his subjects in Kayunga-Bugerere.
Previously kids of Buganda in Nanziga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4b1s8SuJQQ&feature=related)
| , featured 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, he would have put those kids on firing squad, for challenging him, but he feared to risk being another Idi Amin. 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 couldn’t believe the level of disrespect that m7 harbors after opening doors for him in his house during those trying times of m7′s youth.
Looking at m7′s record, he has climbed ladders on other people, begiining from Luwero triangle to being so disrespectiful and disrespect is his slogan as he looks for a way to turn tables on anyone he thinks does not hold him in high esteem and demand respect from those individuals or groups that do not care to worship him. 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. Mayiko Makula Kampala |

Attacking the president H.E Yoweri Museveni (I do this to give him all the respect he deserves) is not the solution. You are not the only one that is not pleased with many things that he is doing, however, attacking him and making him look nasty does not solve the problem. the issue with the opoosition in Uganda is, they go personal, they lack objective, all the care for is fight the president. Now such shallow excuses of opposition leaders let us down.
Am certain it took you time to put this down and you are reaching out to far many people across the globe. If a president of say the US stumbles on this and wants to aid the opposition to get rid of what we want to call a dictatorship. What sense can he make out of this. I think it is high time we gave credit where it is due, respected the people we do not like and give valid intellectual discussion not bar like disrespect.
A recent example. I read an interview with Olara Otunnu in the Sunday paper and all the respect that i had for him faded, he was asked if he hadn’t seen anything nice in Uganda. Guess what his response was; “I saw only one tarmac road from Kampala to Mbarara” and this was the hope we had for the opposition. I thought that he knew better. Clearly I was wrong. and am certain that to many Ugandans, he lost the respect cause we know he moved the country and he traveled on tarmac roads. actually the only bad roads we have in the country are in kampala and the road to Mbarara is the worst.
I have heard Norbert Mao and Andrew Mwenda speak and when they do they give respect and recognition for what the NRM government has done and criticized their failures strongly but also given options. I think that it is brilliant of you to have a blog but Ugandans who have Uganda at heart do not want to make this personal but rather want to give scholarly, intellectual debate to issues affecting the country. So i think! correct me if I am wrong.
