The National Resistance Movement (NRM) have already proven who they are and what they do. There is nothing more for them to produce, deliver or even prove for that matter. The NRM is already established and a force of nature. There is nothing new under the sun and there will be no redemption of the NRM in the near forseeable future. No, there is no way that is happening.
The ones that decides to side with NRM and be candidates of the NRM. That is a choice of willing and for whatever reasons the person deems fit. However, that comes with a cost and price too. You might win an election and get into office. Nevertheless, you are running on the banner of a tyrant and therefore is a voice of the tyranny. That’s it and there is nowhere to hide that in 2025.
There is no way you can be so naive and in a bubble in 2025 that you aren’t seeing the results of the NRM. That you aren’t seeing the lack of government service and basic government policies to help the daily life of the citizens. There is so much lacking and little concern for the well being of the citizens. If it is hospitals lacking qualified personnel, medicines or working equipment. Schools that are failing and a steady rate of high drop-outs before high-school. Also, so many other issues that is causing in agony for the citizens of the state.
That is just the basics and the NRM cannot run away from it. It cannot blame the former or the predecessors for it. As it has had decades to fix it, but has deliberately neglected it in a heist and haste of quick bucks of the top. The top of the food chain and in the inner-circle are looking for the next scheme and way of earning a fortune on the behest of the population. Meanwhile, most of the population is living hand to mouth and just getting by. There is no sign of any changes and the NRM prefers the citizens to be idle and easily bought by a little bread in every campaign season. They are easy to control when their tummies are hurting and cheap to buy in the “hour of need”. Therefore, these tokens are a small costs for years of thieving, looting and depleting the state coffers for personal gratitude.
Alas, that’s the problem of NRM. Their greed and the nature of thieving. It is so common practice, that they are not even conceiting it anymore. No, they rather say it out loud and build huge mansions. Mansions that are paraded and their “donations” which should have been carried over the taxes. We know, we know, but these people rather give tokens of spoils to government services. Than actually secure government services and proper institutions, because they know they wouldn’t be eligible for office… if there was proper institutions and checks-and-balances on their operations. They would be in trouble and so would the inner-circle too.
This NRM rather wants to bury its enemies. They wants to silence them and shut them out. This NRM rather uses the security forces and law enforcement to trap, stop and annihilate the ones who dares to challenge it. That doesn’t have to be done through legal measures, but use of fear, intimidation and even up right injustice. An injustice of extra judicial killings, torture, detained without trial, unlawful arrests and detentions, abductions and prolonged prison time without due process. That’s what the NRM gives the citizens who dares to speak out or even represent the wrong party. This is their “democratic values” and their “anti-sectarian” message to the masses. If you dare to say something… someone can knock on your door.
The ones believing and supporting the NRM in 2025 are accepting these realities. As much as they are accepting the brutality and dishonesty of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU). These two are siblings or the same kin. They just have different heads, but still the same family tree. There is no difference and only their outfits leadership. The rest they could just be part of the same and be a part of the NRM-O. As PLU are running its candidates on the banner of the NRM anyway.
This is just a mere fact. An honest fact and just proven what the state does. This is their legacy and what the NRM have done. The reality is grim and the 2026 election is already upon us. As the state apparatus is going after the opposition and sending a message. That’s what his happening and we can see it all coming.
The ones trusting and allying itself with NRM. It is all on your own accord. Don’t expect to get all love and cheers. The NRM has proven who they are and what they are capable of doing. You shouldn’t expect people to be happy or cheerful. The ones siding with the NRM. They are siding with the ones who steal, deal and corrupt society. The ones siding with the NRM are accepting and allowing the violence, retribution and the complete merciless state that takes away the freedom, liberty and even for some the ability to breathe. That’s why everyone isn’t saluting or celebrating your cause. This is because so many are hurt, damaged and drained by the acts of the state. A state that should be there for them, but instead has left them behind. Meanwhile, the NRM will promise salvation, the high heavens and the bounty of eternity in the coming campaigns. They always do, but they won’t do any of it. Peace.
