On one of his talk shows, Mwenda said "Most of political arguments are based on hate, greedy and short sight". I have been following the events of EALA candidates selection and the counter accusations and blame games taking place between opposition leaders proves Mwenda right.
There are only 9 positions to be shared among the 5 groupings; NRM, FDC, DP,UPC and Independent. NRM fields six candidates no ones complains and when FDC presents 2 candidates is condemned, accused to be greedy by the rest of opposition groupings and even the NRMS. Why can't NRM field 5 candidates and leave the positions the other for groups to share? Better still what kind of election/selection where the number of candidates presented to electorate/selection committee is equal to the available positions (It is said that state parliaments are the one to elect EALA members)? Here I mean if we need 9 members, at least 15 candidates should be presented or it should be made clear that for the case of Uganda EALA members are elected by political groupings and presented to parliament for confirmation.
