IN UGANDA, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
Some one's child can be murdered, his head brought to the
Speaker of Parliament as a gift & Ugandans will never get bothered as long
as they sell their vote for a sachet of waragi or 500 grams of salt!
When jobs are offered on technical know who instead of technical
know how and you have a President whose education credentials are a nightmare,
with a minister of Education having been awarded a Degree in Education without
doing teaching practice, education becomes as useless as the government itself!
Being pregnant can become a death sentence as women die while giving birth. As long as they vote Museveni purportedly for removing them from the kitchen, their lives can wait, removing them from the kitchen is good enough that they can lose the rest including their lives.
The security agencies can be so brutal against innocent citizens fighting for their welfare, they can transfer the anger of poor working conditions to the innocent citizens who are too victims of bad governance as if they don't see the reality that change is inevitable.
The learned judges, professors and other elites can make themselves dumb & submissively accept to be manipulated by the less knowledgeable. In the face of evil money, they betray their conscious, stumble on their own oarth, speak in tongues & finally ruin their own country
The elders & veterans can afford to smile even when their pension is stolen, their land can be grabbed to establish large farms of those they fought for, after all Museveni went to a super market & procured for them peace, with this peace, everything can be left to go!
The education system can produce half baked professionals, engineers whose buildings collapse, doctors who steal medicine from the patients, security officials who kill those they are meant to protect, lawyers who cheat their clients, politicians who are con men, those less skilled in scam can be consumed in gambling & prostitution, after all they are products of UPE & USE where they learnt nothing & forgot nothing!
Ugandans will abandon politics, leave it for the selfish people, & later blame it for being a dirty game. Without thinking about how to clean it, we are like young monkeys which laughed at a burning forest, we forget that everything rotates around politics & so politics determines how much we can develop!
Because we are doomed, irrepairably doomed, even when a good leader like Mugisha Muntu shows up, even when a good organised party like ANT shows up, we reject them. We claim their politics can't work here, they are good for USA, Canada & not Uganda, yet we admire those good countries. We admire good prosperous countries but choose bad leaders, demand for services but vote or join bad parties, what madness that we sow bad seeds expecting to reap good harvests?
Like the bible says that, "they have eyes, they don't see, they have ears they don't hear" so we are! By accepting the reality, that the quality of leaders we choose will determine the Uganda we get, is when we can start thinking before we act (vote) instead of thinking after we have voted.
