No matter how things goes and where the mischief is happening. Sooner or later the green van comes to block the roads. The convoys are preprepared. The buses with the crowds and the dignitaries comes one after another to partake in the festivities. That’s how this life goes.
Under the current reign of Museveni. Everything seem to be beholden to the activities of Kololo. If it is happening there and with the right amount of people. You just know that it matters and supersedes anything else.
The National Resistance Movement and the whole Government of Uganda will all dance. They will show up and bash in the glory. This is what they live for and awaits. Another day and another time to enjoy the perks of office. Get free food and some spotlight with His Excellency.
It is just what awaits us. Kololo awaits the dead, the living and the coming generations. That’s what gives life and gives life a reason. The President officiate and lectures the crowds. He is telling if his displeased or happy about people’s performance. Museveni will scold, but also be brutally honest. While he will skim the truth too and try to forge a narrative that makes him the legendary person.
The VIPs and the dignitaries will all be resolute and await their turn. Maybe they are just to sit and some hope to be called upon. Nevertheless, there is usually a theme and the ones who are called knew months ahead. If not there was a letter or an invitation specifying the details of the day.
Alas, the start and the end of things are at Kololo. Regardless of event or what that goes down. Either a person is appointed, a new term is starting or they a celebrating a unique day in history. If not they are mourning a deceased or expecting someone to come. This is why Kololo matters.
The moment there is a monumental affair or event, it got to be at Kololo. You don’t have random gatherings there and it has to vital. That’s why you know why it is televised or played on radio. The President isn’t only there, but his whole royal court. The jesters, the musicians, the speakers and the members of the August House. There are judges and clerical workers, the unlucky civil servants who was ferried and citizens who got there to eat a free meal. They are all there to unveil or partake in the glorious day of the Presidency.
That’s why we know when things are big. They are big because they are done at Kololo.
Kololo is Kololo and you know the drill when the state mentions it. There will be no shortcomings or even half-stepping. That’s where the journey either begins or ends. Peace.
