{UAH} A GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY / A TRANSITION GOV / AN INTERIM GOV IS AN ALIBI...., A JUSTIFICATION OF ELITE RECYCLING

 MR. WBK,

Oh yes, it does matter a lot. It means something for us who are not into Ugandan party politics and from a democracy point of view, it is even more so, that we know what we are voting for.

Voters have their respective priority issues which they wish to see lifted on agenda. Just therefore, it is important that we identify those priority development issues on the ideology, policy or / and party programmes  of our political party's.

It is hard for me to discern the FDCs Col Besigye's outstretched hand to the NRM and the rest of the political establishment. It appears very obscure. 

But remote though it might be, I do not think it is an appeal to the voters.

That the FDC and Col Besigye may be restrained by the constrains of emminet weak parliamentary mandate that shall require coalition or cooperation over party borders, I do understand. 

Still, from a voter perspective, it is very important to be aware of what to expect from the sea of slogans and rhetorics before voting!!. 

What on the contrary surprises me is that the NRM  or President Museveni has not come out to offer the NRM's perspective on Besigye's out play. And who would those NRM ministers in an FDC government be?

Yes, a government of national unity, a transition government, an interim government or which ever the etiquette, IS AN ALIBI...., A JUSTIFICATION OF ELITE RECYCLING AND LACK OF SPINE TO STAND CLEAR ON ONE'S OWN CONVICTION. It is a failure and a set to lure the voters.

It ammounts to what we call "lurendrejeri" (cheating / fraud): cheating the voters!!!!!!

As for example as a Gulu man I don't like to hear about no fu'n "Government of natonal unity", "transition government" or "interim government" as if we were not in 2016 (((We now want to hear about the dust in Gulu town, lack of ammenities, factories / industries, communications, mandatory postal servises for all,  libraries, public laundries etc)))!!!!!!

Uganda has been having interim / transition to the brim and over since pre-independece. Like I was saying even the NRM regime is a form of a transition from military rule!!

In fact, i dare say that the major part of political paralysis  can clearly be attributed to just those coddling, and twiddling and audacity to elude and lure ((interim, government of national unity, transition government blah blah blah. It does not work in Africa yet)). 

The impact is: Negative democracy development (democracy never gets rooted)!!!!!!!!!

If I vote for a party, it is because they represent my ideal and my expectations. I would feel let down and disrespected if I vote for a patry only to see that after the election, it is turned into some thing else than what it presented on the party policy programmes.

Put differently, if I vote for FDC it is because i am convinced I do not want to vote for another of the other parties. 

In Gulu, now that we have some relatively better basic infrastructure developments in form of better roads and power supply, my expectations go up and the party I would vote would be one that comes with development programs deriving utility from those TO BOOST COMMERCE, CULTURE AND GENDER EQUALITY. 

NOT NEW SCHOOLS OR /AND NEW HOSPITALS blah balh blah....Not this time!!

Nej, La Gulu ma kwiri, vote NRM!!

Noc'la gaumoy

"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.
