The manner in which the youth committee crimes, is becoming a serious
debate. But one thing is for sure, the prison population is swelling
by the day, prisons are not solving the problem and these are young
people.
Take these two examples.
a. I take my DX radio with its aggregator to a technician. On picking
it from him he had sold off the aggregator and instead gave me what I
did not leave with him. I was furious but only to realize this young
man thought it was the right thing to do since had replaced mine with
another!
b. A young man who was a teaching assistant takes a student's laptop.
The student contacts me. I threaten to take the teaching assistant to
police. He rushes back to me and apologies saying he only wanted to
use it for his work for a few days – and that is under almost a month.
No courtesy at all
To many Uganda youth that is the way it is. Additionally, due to lack
of NRM policy many have not been exposed to community responsibility
and ethical conduct.
That is a serious misnomer.
The urgent reason Uganda government needs people that have lived in
European democracies to advise it. Youth crime is reminiscent of what
happen in many European countries. Youth and general criminality will
not end in Uganda unless the government uses "an eye for an eye" sort
of punishment.
Museveni is trying hard to have a relatively democratic environment in
my opinion, before he throws in the towel. Unfortunately he is
surrounded with dangerous sharks he helped to raise
Democratically, I will suggest offenders of these types who have grown
in a relative free society and think can do whatever they want
anywhere and anyhow – the law instead of imprisonment should give them
harsh community punishments – that will expose them to society they
hurt and also help others ready to entre this business to consider the
serious repercussion instead of shutting them behind opaque prison
walls.
They definitely come out worse, statistics shows.
