Friends
And one must opine that death sentence must be a federal issue. We have nincompoops in our country, that have already smashed the heads of their kids on walls, murder them and cook them for a God damn meal, now you want to install a powers of death sentence at them towards their people? What kind of thinking is that? Let me opine as well that given what we now know that Acholi and Langi have done to themselves during the Kony war, we stall any Federalism discussion towards them till when we get a new government in Uganda and a very serious commission is held on what atrocities Acholi and Langi did to their own people. And let me be very clear here, the reason we must only hold this commission after a new government, is that the current Uganda government has also committed atrocities in The North. We need to open up Acholi land and West Nile to understand exactly what atrocities were committed there, and to decide on what to do to those that committed them. But we must as well use that commission to find out the very Acholi and Langi that have got a monetary gain out of the Konny war, out of the camping people, we need to know how much was handed in by all NGOs, Uganda government, international community and how it was used. We need to know how few Acholi that had access to those monies got so rich to make such real estate investment into Kampala and surrounding areas, but let alone in diaspora. We must open the camping can in The North that made such Acholi/Langi rich. But we must investigate the Acholi/Langi that made a killing in the Juba peace talks. When we pass that level, yes we can discuss Federalism.
But let me take a moment to raise a very subtle point that Akim Odong has released today, it is very interesting that the federalism Akim Odong is preaching for is supporting the death sentence, many of us as Ugandans actually believe that death sentence is a cruel and very unusual punishment, we believe as well that violence is bad if it is done by individuals let alone by the state. The Uganda we are aiming at is a Uganda that has erased the death sentence from its constitution.
The very difference between us as civilized Ugandans, and the "Acholi federalism."

Forum;
This is the advantage of federalsim. Imagine if the entire states in the US adopt firing squad or death penalty, how many blacks would die in day? Federalism provides an opt out from this barbarism. The Greater North in a federated Uganda, would not adopt such a law. Not under my watch. Because tolerance is stage in civilisation.

Utah to resume use of firing squad for executions
Media captionConvicts are strapped to a chair before they are executed by marksmen, as Ben Bland reports
Utah will resume the use of firing squads to carry out the death penalty when lethal injections drugs are not available.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed the measure into law on Monday.
The move makes Utah the only US state to use firing squads as a method of execution.
Some US states are considering alternative execution methods as they struggle to obtain lethal injection drugs amid a nationwide shortage.
Drug inventories dwindled after European manufacturers opposed to capital punishment refused to sell the lethal concoctions.
Civil rights groups have said use of firing squads makes Utah "look backward and backwoods".
Governor Herbert finds the firing squad "a little bit gruesome,'' but said the state needs a back-up execution method.
"We prefer to use our primary method of lethal injection when such a sentence is issued," the governor's spokesman Marty Carpenter told the Associated Press.
"However, when a jury makes the decision and a judge signs a death warrant, enforcing that lawful decision is the obligation of the executive branch."
Last execution

It will probably be years before Utah's next execution. The head of Utah's prison system has said the state does not have any reserves of lethal injection drugs.
The new Utah law reinstates the use of firing squads more than a decade after the state abandoned the practice.
Because of the intense media attention, Utah lawmakers stopped offering inmates the choice of a death by firing squad several years ago.
But a handful of inmates sentenced to death before 2004 still have the option of going before a firing squad.
Ronnie Lee Gardner, a convicted murderer who shot and killed a lawyer in attempt to escape from prison, was the last inmate executed by a firing squad in 2010.
Tolerance is a stage in civilisation!
