Ever since the People Power Movement and rise of Bobi Wine on the political spectrum. The President has been busy inter-mingling with the ghetto. It wasn’t a case or a consideration before that. So in the recent years he has appointed Butchaman, Kusasira and others all as a reason to tarnish and weaken Bobi Wine.
That the President has picked Jennifer Full Figure and others are for one reason. That’s to be a viable cadre and a person of interests in the ghettos of Kampala. That’s why he suddenly drops a billion on SACCO designated to the Ghetto. Just like he made an office for the Ghetto and also made one person the Presidential Advisor on Ghetto Affairs, but we have never seen any action or policy that has mattered over the years.
This is all a gimmick. It is nice photo-ops, but nothing else. Just like the IPOD Meetings and Head of Parties Conferences, which was nice for display, but he didn’t change things. The President doesn’t alter things that is working for him. His just duplicating offices and hiring busy-bodies with no real mandate. People who think they are consequential, but only useful idiots for the time being.
That’s why Ashburg Katto wasted his youth and his platform. He was used and spit out when he was out of use. The same will the people in the Ghetto SACCO see as well. Just like the others who has been appointed and entered into oblivion. It isn’t like Kusasira or Jennifer Full Figure has a say or matters in 2024. Yes, they got a high ranking official title and some perks, but that dwindles fast when their relevance withers.
That he again has the ghetto and some representative of them present is only a gimmick ahead of the polls. Because he knows that these are vital for Bobi Wine and the National Unity Platform (NUP). He wouldn’t have looked at them or been concerned about them, if otherwise. They are just useful people to make nice display of servitude.
The President haven’t cared or built structures to help the ghettos. Neither has his government policies been there to elevate their living standards. No, they have been left behind in his system and he cannot just dole out a few shillings ahead of election road map. Because that is what his doing now. Trying to sought relevance and bribe a few into submission. However, people should look through it.
We have seen this shallow ghetto gospel. He has singed these songs and left them astray after a hot minute. Only to show up and give a little token of appreciation. Hoping he can grasp one leader or one active fella to kiss the ring. Just so he can say – his or her is on my team. So we really care about the ghetto. We have Butchaman and Kusasira. See, see, we include the Ghetto. Even if it is only them who gets an envelope and their offices are practically worthless.
Therefore, the President’s games here is getting old. Just like his an old man himself and has to speak of ancient time when he “linked” up with the ghetto. Alas, no one is buying it. He only uses it now because its convenient for him. We all know it and he does too.
I don’t believe and neither should you. Peace.
