{UAH} 'Sometimes it’s necessary to cooperate more with a monkey than a dog if you want to travel peacefully''

I've been trying to think of something original to say about the absurdity now transpiring in Kampala, DS (District of Statehouse), with this cold and flu running me down. And i think Ms.Musisi Jeniffer is clearly holding the city hostage. How about exposing the ultimate hypocrisy: Hon.Nyanzi's decision has put everyone in the govt with a good brain(Obviously apart from our Attorney General) in a fix. Either way they turn, the law is favoring Erias Lukwago. Yes, they can disregard the law if they wish as they did with black mambas surrounding the court in 2006 elections, but the fact is that Lukwago should be smiling to the bank and Lord Mayor's offices soon. No wonder president Museveni has reportedly extended an olive branch to the opposition and he is ready to talk to them.

But there is something more here. How can one woman who was merely appointed by the president and who has just cost tax payers money while being a party to the illegal impeachment of an elected official - think she has the right to shut down the entire KCCA operations and destroy the full faith people have in the govt's security forces? Yes, she cited 'security' or rather 'insecurity' as one of the reasons why she was closing down KCCA operations.I see no quid pro quo even. Just pure blackmail,..........her actions for the last 5 days have been an attack on the governance and the little constitutional order of Uganda. You know the government is dysfunctional when the Constitutional safety valve stops working.Govt shouldn't be prejudicial and do things for Ugandans regardless of their political affiliations.

For the record, there is no such thing as a government of any kind (verily, even a human being) that cannot be corrupted. Everyone has got a 'price'. All we can do is vote out the ones we don't like and hope the next bunch are better. We must also remember that the ones we do not like, if they have made it into office, are obviously ones that the majority of voters DO or DID like. The people of Kampala voted Lukwago as the mayor of Kampala and they like him. For anyone to advocate the 'tribunal' and 'Tumwebaze' like overthrow of a duly elected official at any level is guilty of at the very least sedition and possibly even treason.

It's unfortunate that again this time, the elephant isn't going down as it wants a 'meeting'. Very clever,.... But I'm hoping that it's so wounded that it will not get up for a long time to come. Well, Lukwago should agree to meet the president with a few of his trusted people. Sometimes it's necessary to cooperate more with a monkey than a dog if you want to travel peacefully. As they say: 'Dogs kill more people than monkeys and they are assumed to be our "best friend.". But we appeal to people like Frank Tumwebaze and Nyombi Tembo to drop that nonsense of justifying the legality of the impeachment as reported in the Newvision today!

Byebyo ebyange!
