Ugandans are tired of him and the line up of banditry that he allows around himself. No wonder he leaves behind a putrid smell of inefficiency, electoral theivery and collossal nepotism at his every turning. He rigged the opposition out of the 2001 polls. He teargassed his way to victory in 2006. Now what is up his sleeves as we approach 2011? Will he summon to work his hungry gang of paramillitary goons to clobber Ugandans into submission? What is his plan? Can we take it that those insatiable wolves of his are girding for battle, the grandest of all electoral thefts? Oh father in heaven forgive them for they dont know what they do. Forgive them....... - KYOMUHENDO- ATEENYI Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:13:25 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/news/news-analysis/79-news-analysis/1088-really-how-old-is-museveni#comment-15915 if you read long walk to freedom ,Mandela says that if you want to test the man's selfeness give him power. so with museveni and his commanders of 1986, they got drunk with power and hopefully they will go "Gabon way''.

This familiar question was haunting me all of last week when I read about museven wants 4th term in office’ The long-term comrade, a ‘historical’ member of the Ugandan National Resistance Army/Movement, a senior member of the government since 1986, a pan-Africanist and controversial public figure, disappointing. As an ideologue of the NRM, he has displayed the kind of gross insensitivity to the ordinary citizen and ideological retreat that has characterised President Museveni’s long-term hegemony over the Ugandan state and society. They have stayed in power so long that they have all but forgotten their previous jobs, values, and visions. From heralding ‘fundamental change’ they have become apostles of ‘no change’. They have become reactionaries, tired revolutionaries exhausting the country they claim to have liberated. The challenge now facing Ugandans is similar to what is facing Zimbabweans, Ethiopians, Eritreans, and other post-liberation societies: how to liberate themselves from their liberators. These liberators have now become establishment reactionaries blocking future changes. the NRM oligarchy has travelled in the opposite direction of the fundamental change they promised. They are no longer changing the system because they are the system. The burden of change is now squarely on the shoulders of another generation. They are no longer part of the solution but very central to the problem. that is why Museveni and the NRM have no form of exit strategy. They cannot remember not being in power and cannot contemplate not being in power, whatever the case may be. mpyangu (canada) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Mpyangu Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:37:22 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/news/news-analysis/79-news-analysis/1088-really-how-old-is-museveni#comment-15800 Surely Musevini is 88 yrs because of the way he does things.Look he doesnt remember when he was born .He re reward the 3 mps that supported Amama Mbabazi to robe the workers money with ministerial posts .Is patriotsim or the opposite .Bkze of being 88 yrs museveni has lost tourch with reality - Karyaburo Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:36:41 +0100
