Fixing our Nation as A Collective Responsibility

Just as day follows night, one day we shall wake up when Museveni is not president of Uganda anymore. He will be featuring prominently in the books and news as the former president of Uganda. One whose reign was characterised by corruption, human rights abuse, high levels of poverty, unfulfilled promises, blatant
abuse of the constitution and mass financial mismanagement. Then those who served him as if they were serving an eternity shall be tasked by their grandchildren as why they chose wrong over right. You won't deny it since all your acts of today shall have been captured on internet.

About his going, we are sure that he will and we shall remain with this beautiful country, Uganda. The bad news is that we are also likely to remain with our poverty, corruption and most of the present wrongs. These evils we so much becry will probably continue. It is not because we do not have faith in the upcoming leaders but because, he will not be replaced with angels. 

President Museveni will be replaced with the current politicians; either those in opposition or the ones in the current government. Those in government will uphold his policies while those in opposition will try to forge a different way forward under the same deficiencies. By the general look of things, the issues we have with Museveni's government are the same practices in the opposition parties. I shall not talk about the intolerance, and politics of patronage but the content that the parties are parading, the populism with no concrete evidence of the same being applied in their own institutions.

If they were serious about changing this country, now would be the time when the opposition political parties would illustrate to us by doing what the government has failed to do; create jobs, eliminate corruption and mismanagement within their own parties, but this is not the case.

Very many political parties are sitting on a abyss of corruption and mismanagement.

If they are truly committed to changing the lives of Ugandans, then this would be the time: so that we can see that if government is mismanaging Emyooga, then NUP comes up with its own and shows us what should be done, we need to see FDC come up with a better model of Operation Wealth Creation, and DP show us how Bonabagagale should have been done by practically implementing what they are critical of.

Don't talk about resources; political parties must have the resources to improve their members' livelihoods. If a presidential candidate received billions for campaigns and yet says he cannot raise the same amount in the next 5 years to elevate their members, then know that their promises were hot air, a fallacy or a fantasy.

Am I talking or I am communicating?
