A Rallying Call to Patriotism

There is this good feeling you get after doing something so great for your nation.

I am not talking about sports or those other prized arts; I don't mean launching a war that kills hundreds of thousands before liberation is attained or the pride of raising our flag on foreign soil.

I mean something as simple as putting up a small restaurant and you employ 5 people or a Carpentry shop or any cottage entity that adds a drop of rain in the big desert of unemployment and thus, you contribute taxes for national development.

It is that feeling that we should inculcate in our generation, a call to a patriot, an inward urge to act, knowing that one apiece is what will make our nation a great state; one that we shall be proud to hand over to the next generation.

Talking of handover in regard to work and service; when you see an elderly man hold on to the mantle and say he feels he can serve some more years, then it is either because she/he has failed to deliver during his tenure and thinks that he can make it up or he has done things so bad that he wants to cover up and jeopardise the transition from handover to takeover.

In that case, he will have someone else to bl
ame!

God bless Uganda.
