ATTENTION EDWARD MULINDWA.
Please read read this article, when Museveni recently went to attend
the funeral of the anti-Amin freedom fighter Mary Ogwal in Dokolo.
Mary Ogwal is one of the biggest heroines of the liberation struggle
and when she died, nearly every body in Dokolo and beyond attended her
funeral. But Museveni and his NRA goons refused to allow my brother,
John Bosco Okello- Okello to speak, even though the people of Dokolo
wanted him and no one else to raise the " Vital Issues" of Dokolo
directly with him in public and in his face. John Bosco Okello-Okello,
together with my sister Margaret Okello became the first children from
Dokolo to be sent to the UK in the 1960s to pursue University studies.
In the case of my sister, it demonstrated how gifted and forward
looking my father was. My sister got pregnant at home after her exams
at Namagunga Secondary School. In those days, pregnancy while at
school would have doomed the girl completely in Lango, she would have
been forced to marry the man, she could have even been murdered for
ruining the honour of the family. My father did the complete opposite
of what everyone else was expecting, He removed the child from her and
gave it to my mother to look after, and then packed her off to London,
together with John Bosco to complete their studies here . The respect
and love I have for my own daughters today I learnt from my own
father, a very great man who I miss so much.

No power vacuum even if I die - Museveni - National
In Summary
The President made the remarks during the memorial service of the late
Mzee Stanley Okello and Ms Manjeri Okello at Arwotnyap, Dokolo Town
Council in Dokolo District on Tuesday.
Dokolo- President Museveni has said there will be no power vacuum if
he died while still in office. The president said National Resistance
Movement (NRM), the ruling party, has instituted "scientific"
mechanisms to ensure no void occurs.
"The people have been saying …you know… when the old man dies, when
Museveni dies, what will happen? Who will lead Uganda? Oh poor
people!" the President said. "Those who are worried about (what will
happen to) Uganda should not develop high blood pressure. You should
just concentrate on fighting poverty. Other things will work out
themselves," he added.
The President made the remarks during the memorial service of the late
Mzee Stanley Okello and Ms Manjeri Okello at Arwotnyap, Dokolo Town
Council in Dokolo District on Tuesday. The deceased were parents of
the Director of Criminal Investigations Intelligence Department
(CIID), Assistant Inspector General of Police Grace Akullo.
The President insisted that his successor must pass a litmus test that
he can perform. "The NRM is a scientific organisation. We just put a
yardstick here. Anybody who can do this is welcome. You put a
professional standard. In the army, those army officers all go through
examinations. There is no promotion based on you…no."
Mr Museveni directed the army officers implementing the wealth
creation programme, the successor of Naads, in Lango to serve NRM
members first as citizens who prescribe to other political parties
wait for their turn.
"NRM [leaders] should be the first beneficiaries so that they become
examples to others in chasing poverty," the President directed Col
Bosco Omure, the wealth creation regional coordinator.
The Oyengo-gweng clan members thanked the President for appointing
their daughter Ms Akullo and others to key government positions. They
gave him one cow and goat, which symbolises their love for the
President.
Ms Akullo saluted the President, who is the Commander in Chief, for
appointing her Director of CIID. "If you did not have trust you could
not have appointed me. This is not anything we can take for granted
that we are employed," Ms Akullo said.
Dokolo County MP, Felix Okot Ogong said if NRM wants to fetch
overwhelming support in 2016 general elections, the government should
upgrade Dokolo Health Centre IV to a district hospital and construct
secondary schools in all the six sub-counties in the district.
However, there was a drama in the middle of the programme when the
master of ceremony suggested that the Dokolo District chairman John
Baptist Okello Okello should address the gathering before the arrival
of the President.
Hundreds of visitors and family friends refused this. They argued that
it would make no sense for the district chairman to talk before the
arrival of the chief guest to raise some "vital issues." However, Mr
Okello-Okello never got a chance to speak when the President arrived.
North Kyoga regional police spokesperson, Mr Manshur Suwed who was one
of the masters of ceremony, said: "This is a family function and we
would not want a kind of a rally to overrun it."
However, the State minister in-charge Northern Uganda, Ms Rebecca
Amuge Otengo, acknowledged that the Dokolo district chairman who is
from Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) was one of the best performing
district leaders in the country.
