{UAH} M7 wants a barracks in every county in Luweero

It's high time to stop blaming M7 for our own follies of naiveté. At the cost of repeating myself, M7 has lied from day one in the case of Luweero: he attributed the deaths of Luweero entirely to Obote, but we know that NRA caused the deaths as policy tool of achieving political ends: the twin purpose of which was raising discontent for Obote government as well as a means of recruitment to the ranks of NRA in Buganda generally, and in Luweero in particular.

The people in Luweero were and continue to be political instruments called upon whenever M7 is in a pickle. Never was he serious, or even empathetic to the plight of these peasants. State House is littered with peasants' sons and daughters in preparation for expensive scholarships abroad at tax-payers' expense. We know that these privileged sons and daughters are carefully screened from an ethnic group deemed acceptable. Those from Luweere will continue to fill the ranks of the disparate-dispossessed, and 'disposable'.

What is distressing in all of this is not the cruel lies of M7, but the fact that people supposedly intelligent and 'learned' abate and perpetuate these cruel lies. You wonder where their love for country or even their principles are. Is there no bar lower enough they can't go?

So caution: this time round, people of Luweero and Uganda at large should laugh him out of these villages. We should not buy into these cynical lies meant to buy him a little more time at the helm.
