UAH Forum


“UGANDANS AT HEART “(UAH), is a free-to-join, non-profit making e-mail discussion forum that is secular, intellectual and non-aligned politically, culturally or religiously with over 30,000  members worldwide. It was started in 2007 and it  is devoted to matters of interest to Ugandans and East Africans. People from Uganda have scattered to countries around the world. Most of the Ugandans in Diaspora like to maintain their African connections and values.

Ugandans At Heart Forum is for all Ugandans everywhere

At UAH, we discuss political, social, economic, technological and healthy issues affecting Uganda as a nation. We’ve entered the political discussions to restore liberty and Uganda values. Through enlightening, we believe we can make the population aware that it is them -not the government-to decide on how to run their life, cheque book, retirement, education, and family.The overall goal of UAH is to empower Ugandans and shift power from the leaders to the people themselves or communities. Potter(1988) identified five factors which must be addressed if this goal is to be achieved: access, choice, information, redress and representation. We are equating the people here to consumers of products. UAH is therefore trying as much as possible to give information to Ugandans to help them make better independent choices.

Objectives of the ‘UAH’

  1. To promote better acquaintance, understanding, friendship and cooperation among Ugandans all over the world.
  2. To act as a link between Ugandans abroad and Ugandans at home.

Membership

1. Anyone who is a Ugandan by nationality can become a member. In this context, the term ‘Ugandan’ shall mean anybody born in Uganda or naturalised as a Ugandan citizen.

2. Anyone who loves Uganda or who has got Uganda at Heart can become a member. If you describe yourself as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible, you’re a Ugandan at heart.

The more than 30,000-strong UAH membership is an integrated federation of Ugandans all over the world. Anybody can become a member regardless of their political association, social status, tribe, religion, gender and clan.

Mission

The forum’s mission is to preach the gospel of the truth in our society. The forum does not officially fund any political party though members can do this individually.

UAH and political parties

The forum is neutral in matters of party politics. However, political parties and their supporters can always use it to fundraise for their own parties or politicians. The forum is not attached to any particular political party in Uganda and it welcomes all members of different political parties. In other words, every Ugandan is welcome to join this forum.

The forum does not:

*      Endorse, discourage or oppose political parties, candidates or platforms. However, members can individually endorse, promote or oppose political parties, candidates or platforms. The owner of this forum is allowed to express his political opinions on an individual basis. Any official position of the forum must bear the expression suggesting that it is being issued on behalf of Ugandans at heart forum.

*      Attempt to direct or dictate to a government leader. However, the forum members can use it as a way of expressing their dissatisfaction over government decisions or policies on individual basis. Then it is up to the government to act on these thoughts or not.

The forum does:

*      Encourage its members to play a role as responsible citizens in their communities, including becoming informed about issues and voting in elections.

*      Expect its members to engage in the political process in an informed and civil manner, respecting the fact that members of the forum come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences and may have differences of opinion in partisan political matters.

*      Request candidates for office not to imply that their candidacy or platforms are endorsed by the Ugandans at Heart forum.

*      Reserve the right as a group to address, in a non-partisan way, issues that it believes have significant community or moral consequences or those directly affect the interests of Ugandans.

Anyone posting another member’s picture without permission will be disciplined(start moderating their messages). When messages are moderated, they take longer to appear on the forum as we have to approve them first.However, posting photos of public figures is allowed on the forum without their permission. It does not matter whether they are members of UAH or not.

How do I start a new discussion?

On the UAH website or in a discussion forum, start a new discussion below the list of recently-active discussion titles. Once you click in the discussion topic text box, you’ll also see a box to enter the initial post. You can also do this by sending a new message to the forum email: Ugandans-at-heart@googlegroups.com

Please do not use the forum for:

♥Advertising – other than short, informative notices about programmes and events of interest to Ugandans.If you intend to advertise on a weekly or monthly basis, you will need the permission of the moderator before you do so.

♥Questionnaires of any kind;

♥Requests for help with private MBA, PhD or commercial research;

♥Discussing the purpose and/or management of the forum, or the more general topic of how to run discussion forums. Experience has shown that such debate (discussion within a forum about its own purposes and organisation) is sterile and very off-putting for subscribers who joined to discuss the forum’s stated topics. The purpose of the forum is stated in its home page on the website; these rules set out the way it operates. The rules are enhanced from time to time and we welcome suggestions for changes to the rules or indeed the purposes of the forum, but please send them to ugandansatheart5@googlemail.com not to the forum. Please help us maintain the overall quality and interest of the main topic discussions by avoiding “why are we here?” types of debate in the forum itself!

* Promoting terrorist activities or anything that may lead to genocide anywhere in the world.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES ON THE UAH FORUM

If anybody posts what one considers a ‘conspiracy theory’ , he or she is always exposed on this forum by some body else because we have got a lot of informed people here.For instance, when one says that ‘Obote never rigged the 1980 elections‘, there is always going to be two sides to this story and eventually the truth comes out.

Yes, I agree that some people enjoy spinning conspiracy theories. Perhaps they feel superior by believing they are “in the know” while others remain ignorant. Perhaps they like expressing themselves this way. What I know about conspiracy theories is that there is a great measure of truth in their claims.The truth is never far from these kind of theories but then again the truth would necessarily not be easy to accept by some people.

So,I suggest you do your own thinking instead of listening only to what you read on this forum. Of course, as a moderator, I try to post some of these opinions to the UAH blog and other sister blogs as a way of seeking other people’s opinions. Surely, in the end it helps people to reach their own conclusions and extend their knowledge about issues.

The most important thing to note here is that we(UAH forum) are not out to divide Ugandans but we’re out to share messages; dissect problems facing the country; seek solutions; bring Ugandans together and build a team that will run our country in future inishallah. We do this because we love our country.

WRITERS AND ‘ADVICE’ CENTRES


We would like Ugandans to voluntarily start writing about human rights and other various subjects which may be beneficial to Ugandans for the UAH (Ugandans At Heart) Community? One can do so at least once a week or month: come up with any topic of one’s choice and post an article on any day of the week they fancy.

We feel that teaching Ugandans about Human rights and other topics will foster consciousness-raising and empowering experience among the population that will eventually allow Ugandans to be open to some issues happening in our society. We are going to need UAH volunteers to do this job for us as part of our effort to build a true Uganda community on line. If whatever you write can have an effect on at least over 20,000 members of this forum, we shall consider this job done. All articles posted on different subjects will be posted on our so many blogs for the consumption of those who are not yet subscribed to the UAH forum and the future generation that will come after you inishallah. Meanwhile, other members should find ways of critiquing whatever is posted on the forum, and they should do so with a lot of respect under the guidance of UAH rules. I mean, we should respect the UAH rules and guidelines in the process of our arguments.

Let us also remember that we have got a lot of university students following what we do on this forum. The media in and outside Uganda is also interested in some of our stuff here. So it is very important that we try to put in some effort in whatever we post on this forum despite lack of enough time due to ‘KYEYO’ demands.

Some of the topics we are looking at include:
1. Problem Solving
2. Hygiene
3. Oral rehydration
4. Immunisation
5. Leadership skills
6. Feasibility studies for income generating local projects
7. Project management
8. Human rights
9. Women and Men’s Health
10. Early childhood development
11. Sustainable natural resource management
12. Climate change
13. Kampala Politics in general
14. Community empowerment

15.e.t.c

For members, just post the articles directly to the forum or to the moderator. For non-members of UAH, articles should be posted to: abbeysemuwemba@gmail.com or ugandansatheart5@googlemail.com . Please, I expect full cooperation from everybody on this as we try to turn UAH into a real Uganda Community that will have more effect our kids now or in the future.

UAH is one of the many self-help groups online -that is made up of Ugandans in and outside the country, but come together for mutual support and to share experiences, information, ideas and ways of coping under different situations. We are not motivated by profit in whatever we do and encourage authenticity of whatever is posted on the forum. Membership to UAH is defined by either self-declaration (if one wants) or mutual agreement (by subscribing through email address), but not by subscription fees. Our discussions are frank and open as possible. So we are not a ‘gossip’ forum or community.

Benefits of UAH membership:
• Reducing depression,
• Increases self esteem especially among regular contributors,
• It’s a platform for more personal contact with fellow Ugandans and those with power. It bridges the gap between: leaders and the people they lead, and Ugandans abroad and those inside the country.
• Increases skills in IT, debating, problem solving and Conflict management, people skills in general, e.t.c- through regular contributions and reading other people’s messages,
• Gives a comparative perspective on one’s own problems,
• One gets information and news bulletins on a regular basis,
• Making new friends and expanding one’s social network,
• Fundraising for national causes,
• E.T.C

Basically, we encourage all Ugandans to join us in one way or the other through facebook, Google, twitter, digs, yahoo, blogs, e.t.c. Those who are already members, we thank you, but you have got a responsibility to help other people make a decision about membership to UAH.

Finally, we request Ugandans through their respective capacities to pressurise the government to start up ADVICE CENTRES in different parts of the country which will ultimately be one of beneficiaries to the literature published on various websites or blogs. For instance, in the UK, they have got Citizens Advice Bureaus that help to give out advice and information about different concerns from individuals in the community. I think we should start something similar on a voluntary basis. Religious leaders could help champion this cause at the beginning before it is adopted by others.

Special Request:
UAH would love to expand itself into a print newspaper or magazine with its own radio station in future. We would love both the newspaper and radio to be based in Uganda but the management has got no money at the moment. Therefore, the management requests anybody interested in helping to finance this project to contact the head moderator as soon as possible at:  abbeysemuwemba@gmail.com. We would appreciate any ideas or contributions that can make these projects a reality rather than just a dream.

UAH planned to start up a Ugandans at Heart Foundation in 2007 but the idea stalled again basically due to lack of finances and commitment from some members.The main aim of the foundation was to participate in economic development of Uganda by being involved in various developmental projects around the country.

We are still looking for volunteers or business angels who can help us technically or physically in implementing the above ideas. The foundation or newspapers or radio is not a replacement for the Ugandan-at-heart forum in any way.
Thank you

  6. Vincent Nuwagaba,

    30th September 2009

    Honourable Speaker,
    Parliament of Uganda.

    RE: PETITION AGAINST UNIVERSITY TUITION INCREMENT

    Honourable Speaker, we students of Makerere University, appalled by the recent phenomenal, unprecedented and uncalled for fees increment, do hereby petition you on the subject matter on the following grounds;
    1. The increment was made abruptly hence leading many admitted students to drop out of the courses they had hitherto been admitted to and were sure they would pay for by the time of application and admission.

    2. The increment was too huge to the magnitude of more than 100% for some courses. For instance, Bachelor of Law tuition was hiked from 600,000 (six hundred thousand) shillings to 1,260,000 (one million two hundred sixty thousand) shillings, hence an increment of 126%! If one added functional fees and bank charges the total amount paid comes to 1,808,500 (one million eight hundred eight thousand five hundred) shillings per semester. Thus, although the media have always reported 40%, that is misleading, 40% applies to the courses whose tuition was least hiked. Honourable Speaker, even if the increment was 40%, it is still too much.

    3. With the 40% increment, courses such as Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, Bachelor of Pharmacy, Bachelor of Dental Surgery, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Medical Radiography have had their tuition hiked to the tune of 1,344,000 per semester. If one added the functional fees and bank charges, the whole figure comes to 1,893,000 (one million eight hundred ninety three thousand) shillings per semester. For a course like Bachelor of Science in Speech and Language Therapy, although there was no increment, 1.5m tuition alone for one semester is too much because added to functional fees; the whole figure comes to 2,549,000 (two million, five hundred fourty nine thousand) shillings per semester. These figures exclude accommodation, meals, transport and many other scholastic needs such as photocopying, typing, printing, textbooks, exercise books, pens, among others. If one is to lead a peasantry lifestyle, he/she will spend not less than 3,000,000 (3 million) per semester on a Bachelor of Law course. For Medicine and Pharmacy courses, the figure is far beyond this. With this increment, the government will find it difficult to convince many that it indeed is interested in promoting courses that are critical to national development. We know for a fact that our country has inadequate doctors as most of the few trained run out for greener pastures. It is interesting to find out that the government is putting in place disincentives through hiked fees. The courses mentioned herein are just a tip of the iceberg. Otherwise all courses are unaffordable at least to the poor and middle income earners.

    4. The increment is not uniform across all public universities. Whereas the least hiked course attracted a 40% increment while some other courses attracted a more than 100% increment for Makerere University, in other public universities, the increment is more or less negligible.

    5. The inflation argument doesn’t hold water because functional fees were not increased and it is only tuition that was increased. But also, assuming the issue was inflation that has accumulated over the years, it makes no sense that students that were admitted in 2009-2010 academic year should bear that huge burden. Logically, there should have been a gradual increment of not more than five percent over the years.

    6. The increment affects everyone directly or indirectly including Honourable Members of Parliament and Ministers. If one is not a student, they are parents or guardians. If not, they have siblings, neighbours or relatives and if one has none, they are potential students or guardians to the university. Therefore, this is a national issue not merely the concern of a few people.

    7. We have reliably learnt that the President sanctioned the increment because somebody duped him that fees increment will curb the problem of Lecturers’ strikes. We know it will instead aggravate the problem because majority of Makerere University Lecturers are Pan Africanists who embrace the Ubuntu philosophy which entails selflessness, compassion, sympathy, empathy and social justice. But also they value education so much because they know it is the surest means of societal transformation. Accordingly, many Lecturers if not all of them have many dependants including their biological children. In fact, Lecturers that we have talked to are planning to demand a 200% increment of their remuneration in order to meet the mind boggling hiked fees fares of up to 126%. Otherwise, it will be pitiable and despicable if Makerere University Professors fail to sponsor their children for the courses of their dream. Thus, the solution to Lecturers’ strikes lies in government increasing their salaries and remitting adequate funds to the university to make academia an attractive profession. Otherwise, what is the justification of paying millions to project officers in ministries and directors in parastatals and pay university Lecturers pea nuts? In fact, don’t get shocked when you see our Lecturers running to juicy government bodies such as National Planning Authority (NPA), Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), Uganda Investment Authority (UIA), and National Social Security Fund (NSSF) among others. Remember, the directors in these agencies are not in any way better qualified than University dons. Government is duty bound to ensure better standards for Lecturers and indeed all other workers but doesn’t have to raise fees to do that for it hurts the peasants which for years the NRM government has purported to protect and liberate out of their poverty.

    8. Although we are students, our guardians and parents are workers in the private or public sectors while others are subsistence farmers. Accordingly, the phenomenal tuition increment must necessarily lead to a commensurate increment in salaries and wages and agricultural products across the board. It is ironic that government in the current budget increased civil service salaries by a paltry 5% and went ahead to increase tuition to that magnitude as if civil servants’ children shouldn’t access higher education!

    9. Honourable Speaker, we are pretty sure that most of the brainy students that were admitted dropped out because they couldn’t raise the new hiked fees. This in the very short run will deny our country the talents that would transform this country because they are unable to raise high education fares. For a course whose tuition is 1260,000, if one added functional fees and bank charges the total amount paid comes to 1808500 (one million eight hundred eight thousand five hundred) shillings. This figure excludes accommodation, meals, transport and many other scholastic needs such as photocopying, typing, printing, textbooks, exercise books, pens, among others. If one is to lead a peasantry lifestyle, he/she will spend not less than 3,000,000 (3 million) per semester on a course. Otherwise, ordinarily even 4million may not suffice!

    10. How many of Uganda’s teachers, policemen, prison warders and indeed public servants have the wherewithal to raise these colossal fees for their children?
    11. The right to education is enshrined in Article 30 of the 1995 Uganda constitution. But also the international human rights instruments that Uganda has ratified stress the right to education and emphasise that higher education shall be accessible on the basis of merit. These include inter alia Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948), Article 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, 1966), Articles 28 and 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC, 1989), Article 10 of the Convention on Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW, 1979), Articles 1, 2 and 5 of the International Covenant on Elimination of All forms of Racial Discrimination, 1969) and UNESCO Convention Against Discrimination in Education.

    Accordingly, education is a fundamental human right but also that it is a critical tool for social transformation is axiomatic. Thus, as the adage goes, “those who are born in gutters don’t die in gutters”, the poor need to be assured that they too are citizens and not subjects in this country. This assurance can only be through ensuring that sons and daughters of peasants are not locked out of higher education as only and only education can put the poor and the rich at an equal footing.

    12. It is clear that government sponsorship is virtually a preserve of the children of the rich who go through first world schools. But never be deceived that they are more brilliant and more potentially useful than their counterparts from third world and rural schools. Accordingly, fees increment exposes the poor to double tragedy and reinforces the vicious cycle of poverty. Surprisingly, the government says it is committed to prosperity for all whose components are health for all, wealth for all and education for all! We pray that government puts its money where its mouth is.

    13. The solution to Lecturers’ strikes and the Universities’ financial and academic woes cannot and will never be solved by inhuman and heartless fees hikes. Rather, the practical solution lies in government remitting adequate funds to the universities including research funds. And the question of lack of funds is neither here nor there because we have seen non priority sectors such as Ministry of Defence and State House get supplementary funding. In fact, the reason as to why the once “Harvard of Africa” is declining academically is largely because lecturers have been pushed into consultancy research in order to make ends meet. If the government was remitting funds to the University for Research and paying Lecturers well they would concentrate on academic research and not consultancy research which is inimical to academic advancement.

    14. Fees hike will inevitably widen the already existing regional imbalances. It is clear that although there are some regions which are economic power houses, there are also regions that are wallowing in despicable levels of poverty. The irony is that the economic power houses almost monopolise government scholarships because they have ability to sponsor their children in the grade A schools. With tuition hike they will still have the monopoly of access to the revered university education!
    15. The heartless and inhuman tuition hike has already vindicated Professor Mamdani’s book titled “Scholars in the Market Place”. It has surely portrayed Makerere University as a commercial centre and not a place of knowledge generation, knowledge synthesis, knowledge reproduction and knowledge dissemination. Yet these are the touchstones of any University worth its salt.

    16. Finally, this position is not sacrosanct and we pray that it is reversed in the interest of the common good and the good of our country. Those who have already paid will top up next semester. We must take note that public universities are state institutions which must be run by the state and not money generated from peasants majority of whom form the bulk of the parents and are the wretched of the earth to use Franz Fanon’s coinage. Remember we are citizens and not subjects in this country and to our members of parliament, take note that we are voters, our parents are, our neighbours and relatives are. The prohibitive fares for all the courses are antithetical to the prosperity for all slogan of the National Resistance Movement Party/government and they are a harbinger for deeper poverty in the long run. Whoever is at the centre of blocking the poor but intelligent the right to access education is an architect of underdevelopment. You never can tell, the people denied access to education would be vanguards of fighting moral poverty which has tied us and prevented us from moving forward and in our view manifests in all sorts of corruption hence reproducing more poverty. As we build for the future! For God and our country!

  7. Vincent Nuwagaba,

    Dear Ugandans at heart,
    We have to make strenuous demands if our country is to be on track. These include inter alia;
    1. ensuring that jobs are given on meritocracy basis
    2. ensuring that young brains capture political power through sponsoring a candidate in every constituency
    3. demanding that donors stop funding the government of president Museveni because those funds end up in the pockets of a few
    4. demanding that all those that have got jobs on patronage be fired
    5. carrying out a comprehensive study on how many degree graduates, diploma holders, A level, O level and other tertiary institutions graduates we have.
    6. urging all the employers to verify the documents of their employees with the institutions they claim they got them from
    7. proposing harsh penalties for those found to have forged academic credentials
    8. demanding the reinstatement of term limits because short of that the incumbent will rule ad infinitum even when it is clear that the only people he trusts are his family members, close relatives and friends
    9. demanding that whoever is convicted of electoral offences be barred from standing again for that particular position
    10. demanding that university students be given loans which will be recovered after they have graduated and gotten loans
    11. advocate for the reinstatement of government sponsorships for arts and humanities because they shape citizens into critical thinkers and we need critical thought in order to develop
    12. stand by one another in case one of us is under threat.
    13. be armed with our pens, microphones and computers. I am sure dictaors fear the pen and the microphone and not the guns for they know with guns they will crush you and none will sympathise with you. They have tried to crush me because of my ideas but they haven’t succeeded and I strongly believe they are now fighting a losing battle.
    Long live Ugandans at heart and always be there when I call on you. Remember to support me come 2011 as the English saying goes,”scratch my back, I will scratch yours”. I am ready to become an MP for Uganda and I will never confine myself to Ruhinda. We must prioritise the national question and not the nationality question. Allow me end with Prof Oloka Onyano’s words, “ten years in power, you are an elder. Fifteen years in power, you are a veteran. Twenty years in power, you are nearly extinct. Twenty years plus, you are a libility. Please, locate where Ugandan rulers are and tell what they are. For God and my country!

  8. I found this site using google.com And i want to thank you for your work. You have done really very good site. Great work, great site! Thank you!

    Thanx alot

  14. ninsiima khasifa,

    for sure,i do not know how i subscribed to this forum but the truth is that i am not a fun,i donot enjoy it at all. i just request that i do not receive any more notifications please

  15. You you could change the page title About Ugandans At Heart(UAH)forum Ugandans-At-Heart to something more suited for your webpage you write. I liked the the writing even sononetheless.

  16. John Wangpeding,

    I have recieved your rejection of my posting ‘Traditional Leaders Bill is Good for Uganda – Very Good! – but I have not seen any particular regulation(s) that I have broken to warrant the action.

    To add insult to injury you do not even mention the regulation(s) that I have broken so that I can learn and later correct myself. Considering that you as the moderator can also be subjective in your judgements, you place a heavy burden to the participants to censor themselves. You could also indicate the offensive texts in my posting so that I can learn to do better next time.

  17. Moses Masaba,

    Grateful I have found this website cos have been receiving lots of emails and was intrigued but had no way one to advise me or tell me how to get here,Love Uganda,want a change in my nation. Will try and participate a much as I can

  18. Moses Masaba,

    To ninsiima,I think you are registered with Newvision online discussions so do I and have been receiving lots emails from this site. I dont know what this site in common with Newvision?

  19. Kush,

    Just requesting to be part of you.

  20. burhan,

    i would like to receive recent posts from this site, i came to know about it recently and i have so far appreciated the info thereof

  21. Lance Spear,

    I need daily posts and ready to contribute

  22. I registered with you sometime back in 2010 and I used to receive UAH posts but this stopped on 19 Jan 2011. I don’t know what the cause was. When I tried to re-register, I rarely receive any posts which are from WordPress. What could be the reason? Someone there advise me. I love this forum.

  23. Emma Rhem,

    I am writing to seek the support of members to help spread this message.

    There are some rouge companies in Uganda such as DAMAN INTERNATIONAL who are robbing our poor people of their hard earned money claiming they are going to bring them to Europe, find them jobs and accomomdation or even sponsors for those who want to study. These companies are running adverts on radios such as Simba and the Govt is doing nothing about it. We who are in Europe and USA know very well the current situation in this part of the world.
    It pains me alot each time I hear these adverts. There are no jobs here and governments are very much against mitgrants from outside the EU.

    Please join me save our poor brothers and sisters who are being cheated due to lack of current knowledge of what is happening here(Europe & USA)

  24. Gad Bihabwa,

    Does anybody care about the Uganda Musium?
    Soon it may be demolished to clear a site for a multi floor building. Does any sensible person think he can shift the musium withoul losing some of those old items? I always wonder why our leaders cannot see beyond Nakaseero and Kololo hills. Every new investiment has to be located within that area and they dont even have a plan for the city congestion they have created. These guys have build a new city where Kampala city used to be by demolishing all the former buildings instead of exapanding the city. I have never seen leaders who dont care about the history of their country. Should we re-write history and say Uganda started in 1986?

  25. Gad Bihabwa,

    PLEASE DONATE WHEEL CHAIRS.
    I am appealing to people who care to donate wheel chairs to our National referal hospital, Mulago. There is a shortage of of wheel chairs to the extent that you have to book hours in advance in order to get a wheel chair to move your patient from one point to the other within the hospital.The ones that were donated by the Uganda Red Cross are not enough.

  26. Dee,

    Great stuff. Keep it going.

  28. akullo betty,

    I have come to learn that people need information because information is power. The community members need information for them to demand for their rights.

  29. CHAPPA,

    The important point to remember is that new technology creates new revolutions. In the whole world, the Information Age is creating the biggest revolution in world history—the end of the Industrial Age and the end of Industrial-Age government as we know it. As political leaders become more desperate, their acts of desperation will be revealed. The old ways of government will not be tolerated in the Information Age.

    whats your comment?

    NATIONAL REGRET FOR THE LOSS OF GIFT NALWANGA
    written by Busingye John, April 26, 2011
    Spread the word we call upon Orombi and Lwanga, Kayongo and even Mubajje to organise a joint memorial service for GIft Nalwanga at Constitution Square. Urgently so that:
    1. Government can see the grief we all have
    2. That the so called clerics can show their spiritual leadership
    3. Government can publicly apologise for what they are so far doing and begin to work towards reforms
    GIFT Nalwanga is the GIFT to UGanda to stop the anarchy that is around the corner if M7 does not Stand down now after his 26 years.

    Uganda Elections aftermath

    Uganda government organized sham general elections on February 18, 2011 that was categorized with massive rigging, abused and harassment of the opposition. Prior to the general elections the opposition [political parties] has requested the government of Uganda to change the chairman of Election Commission but the government obstinately refused. The so-called chairman of election commission in the pasted had rigged elections for National Resistance of Movement [NRM] by filling the voters register with non existence people names into the register. Therefore, I am going to give an overview of Uganda general elections aftermath nationwide where massive military deployment, abusive, beating, harassment of the opposition and the creation of walk-to-work protests was initiated.

    Before the general elections were conducted in Uganda I had predicted that the NRM will win the elections because NRM was benefiting from the opposition disunity and failing to field one presidential candidate against the incumbent of NRM. The day of the general elections Uganda was under the cloud of military deployment nationwide. My neighbor Nadala Mafabi in his constituency was wrestling Beatrice Wabudeya, a state house machine with all resources in the world to win the seat, she is a minister in presidents’ office and she was in competition with Mafabi for Budadiri West Member of parliament seat. Our former Mbale district was under siege with military, police and equipments such as tanks, armored vehicle, bullets, jeeps etc, at the day of general the elections, Mafabi was assaulted by military police on the day of election and he sustained head injury that caused bleeding from his head wound. All in all, Mafabi emerged the winner of Budadiri West parliamentary seat while Wabudeya is back sweeping the state house. Mafabi won the seat because he had people monitoring bolt boxes hour by hour.

    Due to discontent with Uganda general elections results and the issue of rising food and fuel prices created what is known as walk-to-work protests, as the people were demanding the government of Uganda to address the issue of rising food and fuel prices in the country. The leaders of the oppositions who are leading walk-to-work protestors are facing real dangers of their lives. Take the first incident of Kizza Besigye where he was shot in the hand and beaten by military police while leading peaceful walk-to-work protests. The second incidents was of much larger magnitude where Kizza was on his way to the bank and military police could not allow to drive to the bank, so he remained sited in the car, and what follows history will tell. The police forcefully arrested him by breaking through windows of his vehicle with pistol butts, hammers, etc… and then assault begun on him, military policemen were addressed in ordinary clothing while conducting this assault, after breaking his car windows they thrown inside the teargas, pepper sprayed him inside the car that infected his eyes, later he was taken to Mulago hospital to seek medical treatment from the assault injuries then he was transferred to Nairobi Hospital in Kenya for more medical treatment. According to the Al Jazeera news agency, five people were killed in Uganda during Besigye’s return on May 12, 2011 from Nairobi after seeking medical treatment and the government also confirmed the death of one of his supporters on the Entebbe road who was shot by the military police while welcoming Kizza back home from Nairobi. However, I can’t predict what will happen to Kizza next but I think it will be worse than usual assaults I foresee dangers ahead for his life and he also personally acknowledges it.

    Finally, other opposition leaders in Uganda like Otunnu and Mao remain vulnerable to the same fate as Kizza is facing currently in Uganda as result of sham general elections aftermath.

    INSASHABLE GREED FOR LAND BY MOVEMENT LEADERS: Do Ugandans realy know why the land bill amendment is that once someone has been on your land for more than 12years, without interuption, then the land becomes his? By the time this was introduced, all the Movement leaders had completed 12 years after grabing land in Kiboga and Luwero. Check if there is any General who doesn’t have land in those areas.
    Do Ugandans know why Movement Government inserted a close in Land Lease tenure law that If you complete your development on Government land leased to you, then you are free to convert ownship to free hold? It is because all People in Movement grabed prime land in Kampala and other towns and have developed the land using tax payers money, now they own the land for ever. Lease tenure was supossed to give all people hope of owning prime land at one time. This has been removed so Movement guys own prime land for ever thus denying other ugandans chance.
    Find out the owner of GAZALAND Shopping center in Kampala, This minister buit it on top of suage system by force. He ordered the officers in lands to make him a land title within 3 days by force without any payment.
    Do you know that the new Entebbe road to be built has to pass near Jenet, Muhoozi and Kaihura’s land by all means? The engineers got orders long ago that they make sure the road passes near that land.
    Did you know that the 1st Family and Friends own more than 40 acres of land in Namanve already? Their land titles must be ready by now.
    That is the Uganda we leave in. Most NRM people just follow like sheep but they dont know what the leaders are doing.
