“The parliament’s appointments committee has rejected the re-appointment of Dr Johnson Byabashaija as the commissioner-general of the Uganda Prisons Service on the basis of old age. The same committee also rejected the appointment of James Mwanje as his deputy on the same grounds. Both Byabashaija and Mwanje appeared before the committee chaired by the speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga today for vetting. But sources from the closed-door meeting rejected their appointment on grounds that the two, have already clocked 60, the mandatory retirement age of public servants” (URN – ‘Parliament rejects Byabashaija reappointment as prisons boss’ 06.04.2020).
It is not long ago, when the 10th Parliament pushed the agenda of not having age as an issue for the Presidency. The Abolishment of Age Limit within the 1995 Constitution. Therefore, opening for the current President to run in the 2021 General Election. This is well known and isn’t just mere fiction.
So, the 10th Parliament, the Members of Parliament, the Speaker of the Parliament Rebecca Kadaga who worked directly with the President, State House and the National Resistance Movement Caucus. Knows this, so this petty politics of blocking Byabashaijja is foolish now.
Not because it isn’t healthy to change leadership, to let people retire of old age. However, the Cabinet of the President is filled with people in the age of pensioners in the Civil Service. The President has associates and Senior Presidential Advisors whose as old as Johnson and even older.
Therefore, the consistency isn’t real. The old age isn’t a problem for the PRESIDENT. Than, another leader of an institution should also be able to die in office. It shouldn’t just be for one brother, but all brothers. One for all, all for one. That is how it should be.
You can act a fool, try to act sincere and righteous here. It might be true that Johnson isn’t fit because of his age. However, the same questions should be asked about the Presidency too. Because, if your age is a problem to run prisons, what about the whole Republic?
Your counterpoint the agenda of the abolishment of the Article 102(b) which the 10th Parliament worked to so hard to dismiss. The whole NRM and the President should see this. This is really stupid and foolish. This is dumber and dumber. Stupid is what stupid does. Peace.





There are some things in life, which isn’t fair neither as we suspect it be. Someone who was associated with the good times of President Barrack Obama. Being his Vice-President, Senator and everything else. There should be ways to see him finesse his ways to become Head of State and President. However, this man doesn’t cut it. Not at this junction.
Joe Biden the Presidential Candidate and front-runner in the Democratic Party has the enthusiasm as lukewarm coffee. It is nether steaming hot-coffee straight from the tap or the coffee-maker. It isn’t either ice-coffee with sweet sugar and milky flavour. It is a coffee that has been forgotten, put on a table or the counter. Therefore, the coffee isn’t as warm it should be. You put it there and didn’t care about it.
Just like that is Biden. No matter that he has a long track-record working for the corporate establishment, that his been a main-stay and been a safe-bet for them. So, its not like his been working directly for Joe-Blow. No, Joe has been a safe one for the needs of Corporate America. That is why his pushed by the Mainstream Media, who earns capital from the same Corporate America. They are working in tandem to get him in, because that is a safer bet than having Bernie Sanders.
However, by doing so, they are pushing a weaker, lukewarm coffee against Donald Trump. A Donald who has a party behind him and a cult-following within his ranks. People can die, people can suffer, but they will still follow him. The Scientology of Politics is what Trump is.
When your supposed to go against that type of grain, you need strength, a motive and message. You need a to be vibrant and able to beat the hypocrisy of Trump. Also able to undress him and show how his not doing everything his promising. That is that is what is needed to do.
Biden cannot reach new voters, neither spark a change to gather new following. Unless, you a K-Mart CEO or Wall-Mart Corporate Associate, than you have a deal, but that is a small margin. The public, the activists are not running around and considering Biden. Biden has only people around him, because he can pay them. He can fake following, but that will not be a natural surge.
Biden cannot manage nor sound like a profound human being. His like a Democratic Mike Pence. We don’t need another Mike Pence. Mike Pence is the ass-kisser and the jester of the White House. Biden should want to be more, except his not. Joe can say “Malarkey” and try to act to the people now. His team and himself isn’t able to fit the narrative of the time. That is why New York Governor Andrew Cuomo get more a natural flair because of the address to the public.
Cuomo has taken the national stage and eaten it. He has shown capacity and ability to stay strong in the midst of struggle. In this current time and pandemic. His voice of reason and reality check has been sincere. The acts of Biden seems more like cheap-shots and political game-planning as he hasn’t stopped elections nor tried to avoid primaries. Instead let it go ahead, as the social distancing is destroyed by it. The DNC and the Biden camp has accepted this. While Bernie has spoken out that he would have postponed it. That is why Biden cannot even do that right, because he rather have the votes, than make sure the DNC supporters are safe.
That plus his whole persona is uninteresting. Neither is his policies or changes. His a moderate, old-school politician, whose for the corporate America, but not for the public. Unless, you want the Ghost-Persons voting for you. Than, the DNC should consider someone else. Biden doesn’t cut it.
How can this man, with the lukewarm enthusiasm be able to beat a cult? That’s not happening. Everyone can see that, but maybe the reality has to hit them again … because the Democratic Party should know better. However, I don’t expect it. They gave way for Hillary, they could do the same for Joe. Even if that is losing before you even start playing. Peace.
