Opinion: No-One throws people under the bus like Museveni! [Example: Musisi]

I paid Musisi a lot of money to clean up Kampala but she didn’t, But that is a simple sin. I can repent it and and withdraw all those salaries of the City Council so that we fix your salaries (teachers)”Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Jennifer Musisi on the 26th May 2019

Well, again the double standard and the usage of person is only when they are serving President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. However, when you have left him or betrayed him, your totally useless and your record or even achievements matter. Because, then he will say whatever that makes him look good. That is who the Executive, the head of state is.

Today’s example is how, one year later does to a person. That the former Kampala Capital City Authority Chairman Jennifer Musisi has gone from being a HERO to a ZERO. She has gone from being Kampala’s Wonder Woman to a useless prick. She went from having Midas touch to be used condom like she suddenly today.

In October 2018, the President said the same about her:

You all can see what Jennifer Musisi has achieved in a short time. We need about 2,000 Musisis to lead the ministries, districts and sub-counties in the war against corruption” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Musisi

Surely, she was more valuable, while she was stepping down, but now that she is far away and not serving the President. She is a useless, a previously expensive commodity, who didn’t serve him properly. Because, its her fault now, the UNATU and teachers couldn’t get a bump in their salaries. Which all know is nonsense. Because, if the government would, they would have raised it by the budget. Just like they have raised their allowances and privileges as MPs. This they have been capable off and if they cared about the teachers, they could have voted for bigger raise for them during the budget votes. However, they don’t and doesn’t care about that.

This is why the President is complaining and throwing Musisi under the bus, when she is not there. As she has left after serving Kampala for 7 years from 2011 to 2018. Musisi is now at fault, while at office and still an appointed figure. She was valuable and a wanted asset.

That is showing the usage of a person in the eyes of the President. While in OFFICE they are valuable and even STARS. However, when they leave office, they DIM and DISPOSABLE. Even just pure trash, whose was a TOTAL FAILURE. Which is very special and shows that it doesn’t matter how you perform for the President. At the point you leave, your will be reason for someone’s misfortune, because the President should have picked better people, instead of you. This is what we can learn from today. Peace.

The 10th Parliament: The Patrons of Greed!

“Ugandan taxpayers to spend Shs 197.8m annually on social media tax and data bundles for Members of Parliament. Parliament will provide at least 5GB monthly data bundles at Shs 30,000 and Shs 6,000 monthly Over the Top (OTT) tax for the 458 legislators” (Kampala Dispatch, 16.05.2019).

Well, so there we have it. Yesterday is yet another party in the 10th Parliament of Uganda. Where the Members of Parliament indulges themselves with funds on the taxpayers dime. Instead of serving the public with working services, they are more afraid of their own pocket, in the limited time they are in office and in the capacity of MP. Therefore, they have to ensure, that all things are covered for the bottomless years in Parliament.

The MPs are already tax-exemption for their salaries, so that the pay they are getting for being in office is already non-taxed. With this in mind, they are earning about $8,715 monthly, this without the various allowances.

The MPs have a Free State funeral all covered by the state. They have free suits and tailor-made clothes. They have eating allowances, town-allowances, consolidation fee, committee sitting fees, housing sitting fees, town running allowances, free lunch, social security, and so on. The ways of eating, as an MP is boundless, a boundless empty pit.

These 458 MPs just have to eat like there is no tomorrow. They are planning to get fat. These people are now mushrooming all sort of expenses and putting it on the state. I am sure by next year, the significant others expenses are covered by the state, the side dishes and the remittance to relatives is paid in full. Because, there are endless roads for these people to get the state to fill the blanks.

This will be their legacy, that they were eating on an empty plate, a state which by all means take up loans to build and run the Republic. If not await donors to be able to pledge for basics of the state, in that one, the MPs are preoccupied with their own earnings than actually serving the public. Certainly, the financial system isn’t that great, but they are becoming a huge burden on state, by definition and by their own making, as they are piling on demands, which the state has to comply with.

That is why they are the Patrons of Greed. The ones who has no other way to sustain themselves, than eating the meat of the dying carcass, that as what these people does, while in power. No bounds, no stop and no plans to settle for less. Only to get more and more without any considerations of the implications. That is what the Parliament and the MPs are doing. Peace.
