Today I was so taken at the pattern of my thoughts..I love Uganda and am glad I hail from here but what good can I testify in the trend of things lately?
You see we have been raised to classify ourselves from a tribal view...and am tired of blaming the West and its role in this,i for one believe that when they left our country they gave us the power to change every aspect of their existence on our land in what I term as creative destruction,we were left to create a common history and a common direction for our future as Ugandans...but we chose to move on in the left colonial system.
On the issue of tribes, language and every other aspect of culture am taken back to realize that we as Ugandans live everyday against each other,we are not Ugandans in our home land,we are either baganda, banyakole, bagisu or we are Muslims Christians and so forth but we never adhere to the fact that we are Ugandans unless we are out of Uganda.
On the issue of development and progress,What are we up to Ugandans?It is very disturbing to know that our legislatures(who are by far many)can table the most degrading policies and bills,take for example the two bills that have recently caused chaos among our laymen- the marriage and divorce bill and the pornography bill.Lets be real when did legislatures take the place of the church and the mosques and how is one's marriage and it ending a concern to Ugandans deepest needs?The pornography bill, seriously aren't we shooting ourselves in the foot,or aren't we turning this country into a religious battlefield,The minister virtue of the fact he hails from Karamoja knows better than that not to table such bills but to bring forth issues of the locals of Karamoja.
When legislatures sit in the parliament to debate child's play bills am so marveled. Suffice to say is that we were at a time when we were tackling the scandals in OPM. Which had reached the most steaming point and emotions were high for those involved and all of a sudden these two bills are table before our very eyes we got distracted in the accountability issues for every Ugandans taxes and donor funds,don't we ever want to reduce the cancer of corruption that is eating on everyone moral fabric?
50 years after independence and you will smile in flabergust!!!I will tell you Ugandans,You have one big ref feral hospital that can deal on most of your health issues,mark my words one that was built by the colonial bureaucrats years after a certain man was sworn in and promising that his government was not "A change of guns but of fundamental change"and even today Ugandans are still waiting for that fundamental change. Obote 2 (not that he was the best) saw it best to have 22 districts and in each district he put a ref feral hospital today we have 132 districts in the need to decentralize but these districts cannot sustain themselves or even bring social well being for the people and Ironically people cry and eat rats for districts.
So much is pending a lot that is limited by space and time but imperative to all Ugandans is the need to cause a smart and creative destruction of the old colonial systems and infrastructure(power as well).
To create a nation with Ugandans and not tribal chauvinists,to create a productive population(will dwell on this one in my next blog) You see a country can only development in an equal measure to its population and sad to say we are one lazy population with a great beggar syndrome. To create legislators that table bills on skills development projects on building better government institution,on creating a problem free population.Our greed as the people of Uganda has left in an investment junk economy we take on anything as long as it bring ready market and taxes but the problem is on what product they are selling to the Ugandans(On the case of sports betting,am so disgusted)We need a love for our country something the majority lack.Only then can we move forward a s a nation and a state called Uganda.
