The Uganda Opposition is comfortable to a level where Mr. Museveni feels as if there is no opposition. True the opposition is intimidated and silenced to the extent of being compromised.
The judiciary of Uganda is almost dead. What is happening between Kenya and Uganda concerning the Besigye abduction from Kenya is a miscarriage of justice, the absence of the Chief Justice head of the Judiciary who has kept silent speaks volumes about the ineptness of the third arm of Government.
This explains that there is a vacuum of Constitutionalism and the rule of law. Framing a person with treasonous crimes to incapacitate him or her politically is itself criminal.
The trial of Besigye in a ‘military court’ which is indeed a Disciplinary Committee of the Military again reveals the gaps and weaknesses in our justice system.
The challenge of the government of Uganda is guaranteeing to its citizens their Constitutional rights. My message to Ugandans is to exercise your rights and don’t allow your rights to be buried.
On 6 February 1981, a sizable armed group of Ugandans launched a war against the government of Uganda with a vision of restoring sanity in the governance of Uganda. These brave triumphant Ugandan liberators fought under a coalition called NRM under the leadership of Yoweri Museveni and many others.
Their principal aim was to restore sanity in the management and governance of the country. Therefore, it would be a betrayal of the highest order if the architects of that war started to act otherwise. It’s prudent to ensure that the contract they made with people is not broken otherwise they will judged wrongly and harshly.
Lastly, let me take this opportunity to appeal to our daughter who is also the Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda to take personal intervention to see that the two bridges of rivers Nabuyonga and Namatala are broadened and elevated to avoid in future a grand scale disaster. And I thank her in advance because she is a lady of action. God bless.
