“Same procedure as every year” (Dinner for One, 1963).
It is tiring, exhausting and feels futile. This year I don’t even care to listen or read the Year End Address of President Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni. I just don’t care that much about it. It’s about corruption, parasites and adding value to society. We know the drill. He has said everything before, but maybe in another way. If not… his just repeating himself and thinking his a genius.
However… if he was that bright and had the clever vision that he think he does. He would have been able to implement these things and develop the nation forward. The President has had the years, the time and the ability to change. Nevertheless, that was never his priority.
Priorities is shown by spending and where the money really goes. That’s where the heart of man lays. If the man spends money on flowers, gifts and dates. The lady knows his spoiling her and trying to win her over. If the man spends money on the boys, side-dishes and on himself. She will feel left behind and wonder if he really wants her.
The same ability has a government. A government can either try to spoil their citizens with service delivery, government services and proper infrastructure. The government can try to invest in their education, the policies for creating good trading and steady financial framework for businesses. That’s something a government can do to please the citizens and make their lives better. Just like the man buying flowers and trying to please his lady. However, we know that the President doesn’t care about that…. and it shows…
The President could have made a difference and he cannot blame that he didn’t have the resources or the time. This man has had more chances than anyone. No one will ever has a long as reign or be in office for such a lifespan like him again. That will most likely never happen, unless the Republic becomes one Kingdom and a King will reign as a Sovereign. Alas, that is most likely very very unlikely.
Museveni could have done so much. So, listening to speeches and addresses in 2023 and now in the future of 2024 is a bit redundant. He knew the remedies in the 1980s and even in the early 1990s. Nevertheless, the old man with the hat isn’t clever enough to listen to his own self. That’s a ship that has sailed.
He rather come with “get-rich-schemes” and micro-manage the nation into oblivion. Because that is what his doing and his thinking it is bloody brilliant. I hate to say it, but isn’t that wise. Especially not for a man that wants to be the “father of the nation” and be revered “statesman”. No, his just a long-con and been able to mask his inability to make a difference. That’s all his good at and he hopes other people’s failures can make people forget about how reckless his running the nation.
The President cannot say anything that is surprising or shocking in 2024. Neither did he in the Year End Address. We have heard it all before… trust me… but with a twisted tongue or something. No, same old, same old story, but packaged for another year.
Nah… this isn’t it and the President should know that. It’s bad when I don’t care… but that is the brutal truth. He could speak for hours, but we have heard the lectures about the British Enclave and how the Republic produced little in 1986 compared to whatever year that is ending now. You know…
We have heard it all and he can say it again, but it doesn’t make it more appealing. It is just daunting how this man is still the head of state and people is bored of him talking. That’s saying something and I am not alone in it. Peace.
