{UAH} What’s broken in Ugandan politics and its link to the London - Charles Onyango Obbo

I have done it for over 30 years, but every time I ride the London Underground railway, I get depressed.

The bloody Brits built the underground railway (the tube) in 1863. To speak figuratively and loosely, at that time in some parts of Africa, we were still living in caves.

Yet, 153 years later when an African president somewhere launches a small road, all the dancers and drums in the land are brought out.

And outside a limited attempt in Egypt and South Africa, there's still no fully-fledged underground railway system on the continent.

In addition, we still can't fix things like potholes – or competently hold an election (forget for a moment whether it's free and fair).
