Opinion: Mwonzora is whatever the Crocodile needs him to be

The Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) leader Douglas Mwonzora will be whatever President Emmerson Mnangagwa needs him to be. If the Crocodile needs him to be a patriot or an anarchist. The opposition leader will jump ship and become one or the other.

Mwonzora has no scruples or no heart. His a mercenary to destroy to Movement for Democratic Change and the whole Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance (MDC-Alliance). That’s why his one moment saying the MDC-T is the only one. While later saying the MDC-Alliance is non-existent entity and can recall MDC-A elected officials. Now months later… he claims his the only MDC-Alliance and was never only MDC-T. That’s the sort of foggy fake chauvinist he is and he enjoys it too.

He uses the State House and his association with the state to further his own cause. If that is to hijack the funds for the MDC-Alliance. Takeover the headquarters in Harare or anything else. That’s why he recalled the MPs of MDC-Alliance and he councillors too. Just to prove a point and make a fool of himself later. Because, he could with the orders and the powers which the Crocodile has invested in him.

Mnangagwa has a mercenary and a willing token soldier to fight his battles. To directly enforce and use his office to damage the MDC-Alliance. That is what his doing and Mwonzora don’t mind being the toy for the head of state to play with.

If Mnangagwa needs him to be a transwoman, I am sure he will show-up in a dress and be fashionable late to a party after ending of talks at the up-coming POLAD conference. Because, Mwonzora does whatever Mnangagwa needs. I am just awaiting reports of blowjobs or whatnot, as he has no issues and can say whatever to fit the bill.

First MDC-Alliance is a viable entity. Later MDC-Alliance doesn’t exists and now your running the MDC-Alliance. While you have used the MDC-T logos and paperwork all along. You know that your MDC-T and misusing Tsvangirai’s legacy to be a hit-man for ZANU-PF.

That is who Mwonzora is and it’s disgraceful. He is there to destroy a party and their chances, because the ZANU-PF has nothing to offer and can only rig themselves into power. To have Mwonzora and allies to break the back of the opposition. It is just what the PFee needs and it’s evident.

Mwonzora is a tragic figure and his demise will be horrific. Because, the moment the crocodile don’t need him. He will be begging for money and he needs by that time to prostitute himself to other suits to get money to get by. Since, nobody can trust this man and his intolerable. He is willing to destroy his whole legacy and the legacy of the founder of his party. Just to get a few brownie-points and small benefits of which will not last forever.

This is short-sighted and it will not end well. Peace.

Somalia: Puntland Government of Somalia – Press Statement (14.01.2022)

Opinion: Will Kalonzo be the Molotov-cocktail that dismantle OKA?

We knew the One Kenya Alliance (OKA) was a fragile alliance or coalition. It is based on meal-ticket politicians who are forging their cards ahead of the up-coming election this year. This is the former CORD-NASA Co-Principals and additional Gideon Moi. These characters are well known and been in politics for so long.

These are familiar faces and they have been side-kicks for other Presidential Flagbearers and been viable for other parties in the past. They are now leaders of their own parties and wants to “kings” on their own. That’s why these are all huge egos and wants to finally succeed.

This is not only mattering Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka who has now become the front-runner and is technically ahead of the rest of the pack. The others are awaiting their place and who will deputize him. This being Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetangula or Gideon Moi. All of these are either left in the dark or not calculated in the joint tickets prepared right now.

It is not like these four gentlemen will have heavy campaign or be viable in a race together with Raila Odinga or William Ruto. They know they are the sidebar and the side-show to these two. OKA knows this and the whole Kenya knows that as well. This is why there is a no worries in concern to these gentlemen. Sooner or later they will find their home and settle outside OKA.

The OKA Technical Committee have maybe settled with Kalonzo as a Presidential Flag-Bearer, but he will maybe run alone on the OKA ticket. As we can wonder if Moi, Wetangula or Mudavadi feels betrayed or left behind. As the OKA today announced them as second fiddle or not at viable after all. That’s disappointing for them, but also humiliating. As we can expect all of them to be Presidential Flag-Bearers in their own rights, but not everyone sees that or thinks its feasible.

This might be the death-stroke and the slow-death of OKA as a unit. As the personal priorities and self-belief counters the shallow unity of this coalition. We knew these gentlemen are tired of being in the shadow of Baba or Odinga. They have run on a ticket with him and that gave them little to nothing for the two last elections.

Now, the OKA was a new unit from these misfits who hasn’t found a steady home. The OKA will dismantle… and don’t expect this coalition to live long. Unless, it will a mediocre outfit with only a few parties, as the ones left behind on the tickets will seek greener pastures. Because, these men aren’t in out of principals, but they are in it for advancement of their own career. They have been to long fishing for an office or a high ranking official position. That is what they are seeking now too.

Since, running as the Presidential Candidate in OKA is a futile enterprise. That will not deliver any hope or become a popular candidate over night. Neither has any of the leaders within the coalition ability to spread a message or galvanize voters across the Republic. They are already well known and shown their characters for the general public.

It is not like Moi or Wetangula can sprint to the finish line, neither like Mudavadi or Kalonzo can run a marathon. These people are just seeking the easiest way to prominence and hopefully a minister post in the next government. They are not able or have the parties to become real big-men. OKA Co-Principals needs a real leader and a viable one to cling-on too.

They wish they were better or had another amount of support. Their egos cannot manage the reality and it shows. I am awaiting the final blow and last presser of OKA. That is coming sooner or later. As Kalonzo might have unravelled the truth, which none of them really wanted to reveal. Therefore, the demise of OKA is because of egos and fragile leaders who doesn’t know their true place or ability. Peace.

Opinion: Mao is clearly not an alternative

It is important that they do that because it looks like these days the football game is played in our half only of the opposition; instead of the half of the National Resistance Movement. It is a big weakness that we have got to deal with! What is the role of an opposition? An opposition should present itself as an alternative government, not just as hecklers”Norbert Mao (Jeff Andrew Lule – ‘Mao to opposition: Stop just being hecklers’ 12.01.2022, New Vision).

The Democratic Party President Norbert Mao is yet again speaking his peace in 2022. He has been the Party President for ages and has little to nothing to show from it. There haven’t been any progression or movement of which proves his relevancy. His only viable because of NBS Frontline appearances and feeding of the plate of IPOD. Therefore, Mao can call things out… but his voice isn’t that viable at this point.

He is a heckler himself and isn’t a figure who inspires, neither is his party a vehicle or a place of vision. No, the DP seems to be a platform for easy access and hopefuls who doesn’t have to challenge anyone. That is how it seems, as Mao is to friendly and to mellow to compete with full force ahead. That’s why the DP and Mao isn’t feared or under scrutiny like other opposition parties. This is maybe why others have left and reorganized elsewhere, where the futures and the possibilities to be viable was more clear.

Mao might not say that, as his blamed Besigye in the past and called him a serial looser. Though, Mao has a worse results and lacking of deliver in comparison. Even Bobi Wine with lesser time and ability to build up a party has achieved more than he has done for over a decade. That should be a warning of his withering role in national politics.

Instead of building a strong and a viable party. It looks more like a paid goofy role of Mao to be in the spotlight. It is not like he has close associates or party leaders who can gain the trust of which the ones who left recently. He might say the party is healthy and dandy, but for who? Him? Is it his domain now and what will leave behind?

The DP haven’t proven itself as a possible answer in the 2011, 2016 or in 2021. No, the DP couldn’t even make the DP Block as a unified visionary group within the opposition. It wasn’t even good enough for newcomers of Muntu and Bobi Wine to be part of. Heck, Mao was last time sidelined by NRM member Amama Mbabazi for the Presidency with the Go Forward Pressure Group within the Opposition Alliance The Democratic Alliance (TDA). Therefore, he cannot even pass as a man of the nation and should settle for MP for Gulu Municipality. That’s where his base is and where he has any hopes of high ranking official position in the Republic.

Mao calling others hecklers, because they don’t follow his guise and the way he purposely moves around with no end in sight. He speaks of being an alternative, but his not even an alternative to himself. Mao cannot even stomach to regain any sort of stature or position, which the NRM would fear or look after. His too peaceful and never does say or bother the state. If he did, he wouldn’t be soda at the police station and be left of the hook so easily. That’s why his just a mediocre leader with lack of enthusiasm. He doesn’t have the charisma or the message to spellbound anyone.

That’s why the academic Mao is a failure, but has to throw shade elsewhere. Just so his securing himself and looks wise. However, this is only backfiring since he has nothing to deliver himself. His a shell of a politician and with time the promise, which he had has withered. There is nothing left, but empty promises and a party of which the promising characters has left as well.

That’s why Mao couldn’t keep Mpuuga, Nambooze or Lukwago. There was nothing left for them to stay or be associated with. The DP Party and DP President couldn’t give them or serve them a purpose. That’s why they fled and sought out other pastures, which they have resolved their needs. Therefore, Mao is proven not to able to sustain the leaders of the opposition within his own organization.

So, at this very point… he is becoming the heckler and the noise-maker without any justification. As he has nothing to prove for his time and work. He only has a name and opportunity to show up on National TV, now and then. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Mwonzora wants to block the MDC-Alliance on a “technicality”

It is now evident that Douglas Mwonzora, the Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) has written to Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) wanting to block any other entity or party using the MDC name in the up-coming elections for Local Government or in Parliament. This is practically blocking and dislodging their capacity to field candidates or participate in polls.

What Mwonzora and the MDC-T does with this is indirectly suspending and making the MDC-Alliance illegal. They have already taken the headquarters, members of parliament and also other positions in the Republic. The MDC-T is now taking up the ante and showing force ahead of elections.

Instead of being a viable opposition and being a serious party. It is blocking it’s competition and real challenger. Since, the MDC-T cannot even gain the attention or the publicity without piling pressure on Nelson Chamisa or the MDC-Alliance.

I am pretty sure the name-sake and the founding father of MDC, Morgan Tsvangirai would have gone after Mwonzora, as he has sold his party and soul to the 2nd Republic. Douglas is the stooge and the petty spiteful politician who needs to evolve his briefcase party to relevance. The only way he has ability to do so. Is to hurt the MDC-Alliance while distort and destroy the legacy of the party. That’s really a sad story, but one we see now happening in front of our eyes.

The MDC-T is still useful to the Crocodile, because he serves a purpose of taking away the ability and capabilities of the MDC-Alliance to run as a contender. That has not only been done by the evictions and the re-call of MPs. No, this is done by any sort of bureaucratic means the MDC-T can use, which the latest move proves.

Mwonzora is a pawn and he has soon outplayed his services. At the moment he has destroyed the MDC and all of it’s entities. He can linger on his borrowed time and play along with this role. However, the man and the myth, the supposed legend of MDC-T will never be loved or cared about in the same sentiment as Chamisa.

It is also a disgrace that he uses Tsvangirai’s name in the party name and as an entity. Douglas would be blasted and bastardized beyond recognition by Morgan, if he was living today. Mwonzora would have been long gone and been expelled. Since, his in the inner-circle and could just be a fraction of the ZANU-PF at this point.

Mwonzora is a lackey and is the bitch of the President. It is sad, but those silver coins will maybe feed him now. However, he should just prepare for the moment his useless. He will be dropped and be easily on a flight into exile. Since, his not beloved or having a viable platform. His only there to destroy the enemy and the real opposition to the President and his New Dispensation. Peace.

Opinion: Will the NRM and their MPs drop the advice of the Odoki Report?

Ugandans power to vote won’t be taken away by indirect voting. We are saying vote the right Member of Parliament who will vote for the right President. The reform is not for Museveni. It is for all Ugandans. We are the citizens of Uganda thinking for Uganda. If you are popular as a party, send us more Members in the Parliament. In Parliament, things are clear, the strength of your political party in Parliament will be your vote for Presidency. We are spending a lot of money on elections. Let that money be sent back to strengthen the party at grassroots level. We are not a Muhoozi project. Muhoozi is a serving officer in the UPDF and cannot engage in politics”Felix Adupa President Transformer Cadres Association of NRM” (NBS Television, 06.01.2022).

We know there is a cause to take away the popular vote and the universal suffrage as a method of voting in the President in the Republic. This is a clear intention of changing the Constitution and Presidential Elections Act. As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Museveni is gearing up for another constitutional amendment to fit his narrative.

That is very clear, just anyone else done in the past. Now, the President doesn’t want to participate in the general election or be on the ballot. Instead, his selected peers of the Parliament will vote him in. That is the initial trick here.

Here is the recommendation from the Odoki Commission Report, which was made with the initial draft constitution in the 1990s. Where there was certain legal thoughts and ideals, which should be relevant in 2022 or any other year.

Just take a look!

Excessive concentration of power in the executive:

28.27 People agreed almost unanimously that the 1967 Constitution had concentrated far too much power in the hands of the executive arm of government, and in particular in the President. There were no other institutions which could effectively check on executive and presidential power. As a result, those exercising such power had little concern constitutional limits, and tended to feel free to set aside the Constitution or parts of the Constitution which did not suit their interests” (Odoki Report, 1992).

78. Method of Voting

(a) Voting in presidential, parliamentary and district council elections as well as referenda,

should be by secret ballot.

(b) The electoral law should require that the same ballot box is used for all candidates in a

constituency. The box should be placed in the open rather than a closed booth.

(c) There should be clear symbols and/or photographs against each candidate’s name to

assist illiterate voters.(10.143)” (Odoki Report, 1992).

We are seeing the problems of past getting back into order. If the NRM and President are willing to risk everything for one man. The NRM has been risking that twice already and now they will not even make charades of elections, which it has done since 1996.

The President trying to avoid the problems of lack of integrity and legitimacy, as the elections are made and prepared for him to “win”. That is what people know and it’s evident by how they are run by the state. The same about the gerrymandering, the blocking of opposition parties and ensuring several of unopposed candidates across the Republic. In such a fashion, that the NRM will gain a majority no matter what and the President got “yes-men” in the Parliament. The game is rigged and the opposition only gets a small token or parts of the political landscape.

We are clearly seeing that the Odoki Commission is vouching for what the people wants and have a representative democracy. Not having a council sort of system, which is having the President elected in Parliament. Yes, the Local Government and Parliament will be elected by secret ballot still… while the Head of State is hand-picked by a few merry men and woman in the National Assembly. That’s ditching democratic ideals and the trust in the will of the people.

Yes, the rigged elections of January 2021 or any other year isn’t changing things, but it is much harder to cheat the whole system and trick the results in as they do. It is also adding additional stress on a man who is in advanced age. This is changing the laws to fit him again and his pigeon holing his own Constitution for his benefit. Which is the power the Odoki Commission warned us all about and now it is happening right in front of our eyes. Peace.
