“Ugandans take Presidential campaigns seriously and candidates should take note of this fact, most of them (Ugandans) take time to analyze and contemplate the message of different candidates and this informs their voting decisions” (Rukondo Paul Rwabihurwa, 05.01.2021).
I’m not shocked that the likes of Rukundo Paul Rwabihurwa is dismissing the opposition and calling them to give up. I myself believes the election is so rigged. That the only way out of this quagmire is a revolution or a total shutdown of the current regime. As they are not willing to give the public a peaceful transition from President Museveni and neither give way for other parties than the National Resistance Movement (NRM). That is whole another lane and for the loss, then the likes of Rwabihurwa.
Rwabihurwa is working for the Agency for Transformation or AfT. That is the organization run by Museveni associate Morrison Rwakakamba. Therefore, someone who is employed and working in an organization like that. Would easily be in favour of the status quo and who is earning fortunes on having agreements with ministries because of their association. When you know all of this. Then his piece in Nilepost today, a NBS TV Online News Site. It all goes together.
Today Rwabihurwa got the piece named “The opposition should focus on what next after defeat” published in the NilePost. Just as I stated in the beginning. The manner of which we see the default loss is different. As the likes of Rwabihurwa want to show the greatness of NRM. Which isn’t surprising, as he needs that support for his lifeline in the end. That the ends to his means.
What is the failure is the set focus on NRM. As this is supposed to be about the failing opposition. Who just should cry havoc and find measures for post-election. Still, the man is praising the organization and the structure of NRM. Which as he stated in the piece had 34 years to build. The man is focusing on three M’s. The Message, Money and Management.
While the opposition, which he easily has dismissed had less of time. Often at gun-point and not allowed to build within their means. Therefore, if the NRM and their M’s are so great. Then they should have the same possibilities. Alas, that is not the case.
So, when he says the management is so great in the NRM. How come there have never been any real successor after 3 decades in power? How come the NRM have ballooned the government and gerrymandered into the insane since 1986? How many districts and sub-counties has the NRM created and how has that helped the local government management? Ah?
It is like the NRM is misusing their management and prefers open cronyism at a large scale. They are proud of hiring mercenaries and goons to keep this on a leash.
And after the headless praise of the NRM and their “management” sills. The man has the nerve to write this: “Other presidential candidates like the renowned Musician (Bobi Wine) whom I personally miss in the music world seems to be clueless on issues of Economy. His message has been more on removing Museveni whom he calls a dictator but not on what he intends to do for the country” (Rukondo Paul Rwabihurwa, 05.01.2021).
If he should speak of economy and management, which his so proud of the NRM. Then he should explain why the nation is constantly lacking funds, needs donors and loans to cover the basics? Why is the Republic constantly using deficit financing to cover its upkeep?
Why are you calling him a musician? Is it cool that the General and President is a farmer, but cannot grab the mic? The man who has used gig-song to be popular all his career? When you use that as a arrogant slap in the face of Bobi Wine. You better bring the goods and glory for your salvation. Especially, when the NRM government is debt-ridding and crisis speculating government. Which will need a resurrection or debt relief looking like the ones who was giving in the early 1990s. As the President and his cronies has gambled on Petro-dollars to save their greener pastures in the future. Which isn’t that fiscal smart or a sort of message that is securing anyone’s future.
The biggest blunder of his writing is here: “And by the way, let’s say we are removing Museveni then what? These are the questions people are asking and the NUP campaign heads should on providing answers to these emerging concerns. Our problems are not individual-based, we want a Government that will create employment for the young people, a Government that will ensure the safety of its citizens, this is the Government that will win our hearts” (Rukondo Paul Rwabihurwa, 05.01.2021).
His continuing the propaganda. Speaking of merits, when the Presidential Advisors are only hired by the graces of the President and not on their skills. The cabinet is all cronies and appointments to government institutions are all part of the patronage. Even creations of embassies are happening because someone needs a plum-job and not because of diplomatic measures or means. So, the man is clearly jaded in his mind here. Like we cannot see the lack of merit in the appointments of the President. What sort of skill-set has Butchaman over any bloke working selling fruits in Kalerwe? Please tell me?
Removing Museveni is a sign to remove a brutal and ruthless regime, which is keeping the general public is shackles. A government, which is limiting freedom, liberty and justice. Where the rule of law is only based on political affiliation and not on crimes committed. As the NRM High Ranking Officials can do injustice and later be acquitted. While opposition leaders are battling cases pending back a decade ago. That is how injustice is under Museveni and his the emperor of this system.
How can this government win people’s heart when the youth is killed in the streets and being blamed as hoodlums and hooligans? How can this government win the hearts of the public, when the next generation of leaders is fooled around with and mocked on a daily? How can it win hearts with all of that?
He says his a lecturer and tried a trick. Tried to sound smart, but when you can this easily counter argument. The arguments are generally flawed. The three M’s isn’t all of that. Maybe, the lecturer and comrade of Rwakakamba should try better. He claims other is ignorance and doesn’t have the answers himself either. This sort of article can only be seen as an template of ignorance. Peace.
