{UAH} NEKYON/KWESIGA/KAMUGISHA and NRM

Mr Kwesiga/Kamugisha?Nekyon,

It is true that a few other people publicly opposed the gentleman's invitation.  It is also true that I misspelled his name.  He is Karuhanga not Byaruhanga...but neither of those points is really important to the argument I was making: 

Mr Kwesiga listed the main speakers from 2013 to 2016 and asked me why I was saying that the NRM is controlling UNAA.  The premise of his question was that since Ms Byanyima is not an NRM supporter, then UNAA is not controlled by the NRM. 

The point of my response was to show that:

a. Mr Kwesiga's list was not truly reflective of the correct picture (Winnie was a last minute invite after the NRM's Karuhanga pulled out, and Mbabazi was still Prime Minister)

b. Even if the list was correct, that did not necessarily mean that the NRM did not control UNAA.

c. I wanted to show that the fact that opposition supporters shouted at NRM MPs (at the UNAA convention) did not mean that NRM is not controlling UNAA.

I hope you can see that Mr Karuhanga's NAME, and WHO opposed his presence, are irrelevant to the point I was making.  

Now, my friend Mr Nekyon is saying that I talked to NRM members at the convention.  What is wrong with that?  He forgets that he often points out that some of closest friends are in NRM.  Heck, some of my own relatives are in NRM! My people in Gomba and Gayaza have voted for NRM for years. I don't hate NRM supporters.  I oppose NRM's policies because they have destroyed the country but I do not hate the NRM supporters.  I suspect most of them are there for financial reasons.  If M7 is no longer in power, they will go with the next leader (NRM is just M7). 

Thanks
