Opinion: Nabilah Naggayi Sempala tries to finesse the game again

At any point of time there is those Members of Parliament, those supposed representatives that jump between parties, affiliations and behind bigger-men. For just one reason, to save their own career, because its not like they got any chance on their own. They got to have someone bigger boosting their number and chances of success.

The biggest of these in the Republic is Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Kampala Woman MP Nabilah Naggayi Sempala. Who in midst of November 2015 within a weeks time, went from endorsing Amama Mbabazi and his TDA Presidential Flagbearer to a little week later show-up at nomination day as a FDC MP. Therefore, jumping between the loyalty to Amama and going back to Dr. Kizza Besigye. She got later fully nominated in early december 2015. But that has been with me ever since.

She showed the way she will finesse things for power and possibility to become an MP. Nabilah will use all avenues, as long as it benefits her. There are nothing she will not say. Just like earlier in this year, she said Besigye is done and has had his time. That’s why she has no issues now to wear the red beret and be People Power affiliate. That’s because it boost her chances for a third term as an MP. She doesn’t do it because she believes no. Than, she would jump back to FDC if that added the options next week.

Nabilah Naggayi Sempala isn’t the loyal type, she fishes for relevance and importance. To be apart of the most dominating force of the moment. If it is Amama, Besigye or Bobi Wine doesn’t matter, as long as she is with the right big-man. She just need the right leader and the leeching of that. As long as she needs, until election season is over and she can cash in the envelopes.

That is why the Kampala Woman MP is finenessing this game. She ensure the deck is stacked in her favour and for her taking. Not matter what slogan, what bargain or what possible cost. As long as she get to keep the fiefdom and the payouts she’s accustomed too.

We all know this is game played for 2021. Just like she toyed around with Amama in 2015. She did so, because she felt the Go-Forward and TDA was a viable choice for a new home. But she ditched that, when she understood she had done wrong. Even as she was incumbent on a same ticket from previous election.

Nabilah could been loyal and shown some ethical and political savvy, instead she is doing shoddy homework and hoping no-one is noticing. The MP thinks people are forgetful. Not like she has dropped a legislation worth anything in two terms, neither has she had a pet-project to prove her value. What she is just another empty suit, but a finessing one at that.

If there is a new star on block next month, that becomes more viable than Bobi Wine. She would go his way. If she thinks the DP Block or ANT works. She might join them. Nabilah does whatever as long as she get the outcome she needs. The principals, the loyalty or the politics doesn’t matter, as long as she gets the paper. Peace.

Burundi: Nkurunziza warns his enemies

Nkurunziza said on Saturday, “The armed struggle is over, today it is necessary to accelerate towards productivity in order to discover the country” The events were guided by the theme;”I was a valiant fighter for peace, from now on I would be a courageous fighter for the development.” “Whoever, will attack us we shall show them. If you start the fire you will regret why you started it,”” (Tarifa.rw – ‘ President Nkurunziza Threatens Traitors In Ruling Party’ 18.11.2019).

Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza warned his enemies at the Heroes Day function this Saturday. This is said to be aimed at traitors within the CNDD-FDD or even the militia Red Tabara. But this clearly signs ahead of the 2020 elections.

President Nkurunziza will not back-down nor give way. The ones standing in his way will be terminated, will get lost and has to go to exile. There are reports of opposition killed, Ex-FAB or FNL done with. Stopping public meeting of the allowed party CNL. Therefore, the President will not make it easy or possible for a viable opposition ahead of the polls. Those who believe that now is naive.

All the way since 2015, there been deaths, assassinations and murders of both prominent, but also known opposition activists. The state uses the authorities, the Imbonerakure and others tools of its disposal to get rid of the ones who works for others. The CNDD-FDD doesn’t accept it, neither does the President. All is supposed be under his banner and his way. That’s why NGOS whose not following the new laws are suspended and so-on.

The limited free space, the limited civil society and the micro-managing of the Presidency shows the lack of tolerance and trust in others. The former rebel turned President uses the police, the army and military youth wing to silence the ones whose not following him. This is well-known and bound for more bloodshed. Something, that people doesn’t want to talk about nor report. As the fear of genocide and direct attacks on Tutsi’s from the Hutu government. Even raiding neighbourhoods of Tutsi’s during the weekend by the police officers in Bujumbura. This is all worrying signs combined with the efforts of controlling whose hired and what visions organizations needs to have in the Republic.

All of this, as the paranoid President, whose misuse of power and used to get everything he wants with the usage of guns. President Nkurunziza will take it all and control it all. He will ensure this, either by laws, by the courts and by parliamentary majority. There is no one who will stand in his way. If they do, they will cease to exist. That is just the way it is. That has been seen since 2005. Three terms and counting.

Nkurunziza has to warn people, because he hasn’t real popularity. He needs arms and fear, nothing else. That’s what keeps him in power. If I wrote this in Bujumbura or Gitega, I would have been behind bars, charged with treason and possibly dead. Since, the President would felt insulted by this, like I used pencils over a picture of him in class. Peace.

Opinion: Museveni used to be a darling of the West…

When I read that people have trouble that Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine is liked in the West for his ideals and his vision. They shouldn’t forget that the West named President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as a “new breed” together with President Paul Kagame in the mid-90s. It is a few decades ago and seems like a lost time. But, it is not so far away from the current time were in now.

When I read that National Resistance Movement (NRM) hard-liners and apologists says Bobi Wine is to loved in the West. The NRM wouldn’t have stabilized the economy, wouldn’t have had some economic growth or ability to built successive big-programs back-in-the-day, if it wasn’t a donor darling. The NRM wouldn’t have done this on Qaddafi funds nor the North Korean training of military brigades.

If Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and other Americans like John McCain didn’t have a soft-spot for the proxy armies of Museveni. He wouldn’t get as much funds, military support and so-on over the years in power. That’s why the same gentlemen fuzzing about Bobi Wine amplifying the diaspora, going and getting support in North America.

Should remember how Janet Museveni was stuck in Sweden during the bush-war. How the NRA tried to get support from the United Kingdom during the Bush-War. They finally got some help, reluctantly from Libya. They will not speak highly of that today, but that is a fact.

That’s why its hypocritical of Museveni and the NRM to say Bobi Wine isn’t legit, because he has support from the West. That’s because Museveni isn’t an donor darling of the West any-more. He was during the battle against the Lord Resistance Army (LRA), countering HIV/AIDs and so-on. Also the build-up of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) in the 1990s. This is all well-known now.

However, the NRM people will come with daggers, swords and harsh words for endorsements from Americans now. But they was all praise and giggly like teenagers around pop-stars, when their President and the NRM was praised by the West back-in-the-day. For all achievements, the following of policies pushed by the World Bank and International Monetary Funds. Therefore, the NRM and Museveni should look at Bobi Wine and wish it still was them. Not act like they didn’t enjoy the limelight back when.

So, when people bitch about the endorsement. Just look back at how Museveni enjoyed the love from Bill Clinton and others. It was fine when he did it and even postponed elections while being praised. Even supported the insurgencies in the DRC and Rwanda, by the same foreigners. Therefore, the NRM and Museveni should remember they used to be the darling, but is now a bitter EX.

They are like Kenzo, who still wish they had the love of Rema. But they have lost it, because of the cheating and lies. The deception and playing the guards wrongly. Even as long as the NRM and the army fights the battle the US doesn’t want in Somalia. They are still not as loved as they used too. That’s why Bobi Wine is a threat there too. Because, his a new darling and the NRM cannot accept that. Peace.
