Sénégal: Collectif de FC25 – Les candidats decrient le sabotage en cours de l’election presidentielle par Macky Sall ! (20.02.2024)





“We must vote for leaders capable of addressing Uganda’s problems, not just those riding on legacy or family connections” – Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire (18.02.2024)
Over the years I had issues with Otafiire and his leadership. He has acted with arrogance and with power against others. The recent elections where he has lost the seat in Parliament and gotten humiliated by voters. He lost in 2016, but after gerrymandering his district before the 2021 election he got re-elected to Parliament.
This is how he returned to the August House after losing out in 2016. However, this isn’t about it, but shows how he favors certain policies and government actions when it benefits himself personally.
The Maj. Gen. is finally saying something of wisdom for a change. He has possibly done that before and could have said it in confidence. Nevertheless, his public displays and outbursts haven’t always been brilliant. Therefore, today was a change from the normalcy.
Otafiire who is one of them. A man who has been in the inner-circle and a staple in politics since the NRM got into power. He knows how things are moving and operating. The Maj. Gen. are seeing how families and dynasties are created under the watch of Museveni. This is done to legitimize Muhoozi when his turn is coming.
We all can see that and the President is doing so with minor offices and other national ones. To easier issue succession of his son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga. This being MPs who are sons and daughters of late MPs. That has happened in several of By-Elections of recent times. The next up-coming election in Dokolo will have a daughter of a late MP. Therefore, his warning is subtle, but for a reason.
There is no reason to believe the sons, or the daughters will have any sort of significant leadership quality. Neither are their capable nor have the character to be it. It takes a certain individual to represent and be a voice for others.
We know he speaks of this in regard to Muhoozi, but it could be directed to all the hereditary politics in the Republic. Certainly, it is needed and the voice of reason is there. We know the ones in Patriotic League will be offended by it. They already aiming for the Maj. Gen and they want him out. That’s because his speaking the truth and they are leaching off Muhoozi. Therefore, they got to show loyalty and defend their future master.
It is just really strange seeing Otafiire so adamant and direct about it. He usually a man of loyalty and respect for the cause. A man who defends Museveni and only works tirelessly for his benefit. That’s why Museveni has entrusted him with various offices over the years. A man who always returns and gets a piece of action. That’s just how things are going.
Otafiire speaking some wisdom. I didn’t expect that, but here we are. Peace.





“Party President Patrick Oboi Amuriat commended Dr. Alwoc as a woman of substance who embodies her mother’s values. He also urged the people of Lango to see in her a worthy successor to Cecilia Ogwal. Amuriat lambasted the NRM for promoting family rule” (Muhamadi Matovu – ‘Amuriat blasts NRM for promoting family rule as FDC unveils Cecilia Ogwal’s daughter for Dokolo Seat’ 15.02.2024).
Yes, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) has a major problem with hereditary politics and inheriting of positions. That is fact in 2024. The patronage and the cronyism within the ranks of the NRM is well known and isn’t a well kept secret.
However, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Party President Patrick Oboi Amuriat shouldn’t blast that or even address this when he himself promotes them same sort of affair. The FDC is practically doing the same by letting Dr. Alwoc, the daughter of the late MP Ogwal becomes the flagbearer and the one on the ballot for the upcoming Dokolo By-Election.
If Amuriat or FDC was serious about nepotism and hereditary politics. They wouldn’t have made a spectacle of this one. Where they even want the opposition to be jointly behind Dr. Alwoc’s campaign. Where the UPC, NUP or anyone else is just supposed to bow down to greatness and continue the family affairs in the district.
Alas, that is what FDC Najjankumbi just shows that they are no difference than the ones they are supposed to oppose. They want to be the sole-candidate and have monopoly on certain offices/seats. That’s just like the NRM and now they use their trick of trying to get the kids of the late elected in office.
Amuriat should get to know one thing. If he wants to address others and wants them to change behavior. Maybe he should copy their homework and call it his own first. Maybe, just maybe… be different and lead by example. Not copy and think your brighter than the next guy.
That’s how this is looking. It is a fraud and a fake, imposter or a poser… who acts like this. Not a man of integrity or esteemed leadership qualities. No, that’s not Amuriat and he proves it again and again. Peace.






The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) has the sole mission of installing and giving legitimacy to the succession of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga as the President of the Republic of Uganda. To think otherwise and think they are there for a deeper purpose is naive. Especially when you see the merry men that is surrounding the General.
The leadership of PLU isn’t shocking or surprising, but that’s the sort of intellect and political capital that the General needs. He needs journeymen and people who feeds of his ego. Because he can’t have over-achievers or people of greatness surrounding him. If the General or the Standby Generator would have that… it would insult and damage his calm. He would strike with intense fury and become a villain within his own ranks.
That’s why the likes Balaam Barugahara, Michael Nuwariga Toyota, Frank Gashumba, Andrew Mwenda, Michael Mawanda, Lillian Arber, David Kabanda, Peter Ogwang, Haruna Kasolo, Nzeire Shadrak and Tamale Mirundi is part of the central leadership of the PLU. They are there for a reason and that is to serve the future His Excellency. These are the ones he entrusts with his “vision” and foresight of the future.
Muhoozi must think people are stupid. He must really think little of the citizens of the Republic. His father must be thinking the same. Because, they are violating their laws and acting indifference to the UPDF Act. The ones in office and everyone supporting this shinding are all too blame. They are all doing so, because it is profitable and they earn their stripes of loyalty. These people are clinging on to the idea of their patron and be a part of his patronage.
Gen. Muhoozi knows how to pick them. If not he doesn’t have the capability to find people who are better or wiser than himself. These people aren’t there out of true passion or concern. No, they are there because they have trusted his father in the past and been part or are still a part of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). These people go where there is a safe-haven and a place for a meal-ticket.
Muhoozi, if he is the next in line. They have ensured a pay-day and possibility of greener pastures. The General cannot only feed them and their families. No, he can appoint them to prestige and make their lives comfortable. That’s why they are there. These people have seen how his father has appointed and built a hegemony surrounding him in the State House. The same can be expected by his son and as successor. Therefore, why not entrust and leach of him. It must be the way out and a way of getting the “final pay-off” for your labour. So, why not fly high and say he is “the dude” and “the future”.
So, don’t expect magic or anything sincere from these merry brigade of the General. They are there for selfish reasons, just like the General himself. It isn’t made for improvement or betterment. Heck, it isn’t even with any concern of the population at large. No, this is a sole entity for Muhoozi and these people are there to serve and collect. The ones thinking otherwise will see it later or catch on to when it is too late.
The PLU will be the launching pad, it is the continuation of the birthday-bashes that became political rallies for his candidacy. It is the General playing politician and acting the role of leader. While his inner-circle and the ones surrounding does all the dirty work. They are his patronage or entourage that will be by his side or service his every need. That’s why they are there and to make the General feasible to the public.
So, the ones believing this for patriotic endeavours or to make the public sensitized in one way or another. Well, that is false. This PLU is there for ONE MAN and ONE MISSION. Everything else is just publicity and make belief.
The General has appointed his patronage and the ones he trusts his future in. We just have to follow and see how this will play out. As it shows the weakness and the recklessness of the General. Because, these aren’t trusted people or men of character. No, these people who wants to eat and who has found their master. Peace.
