I have been trying so hard to avoid putting my thoughts across on the Mbabazi demise but circumstance pushes me to the need to say something in light of the after month of his state. A lot of people have come out in admiration of the way the former Premier handled the situation and a lot of talk has been on how diplomatic and influential he handled the fall out.But yet again, my concern is with the level at which Ugandans forget so easily the times the former premier and the power source outplayed Ugandan intelligence and left us wondering if there was any level of love built in their beings.
You see, Mr Mbabazi is a very cunning man and us being Ugandan and so fragile with emotional genes we tend to be oriented in feeling the pain and hurt of others so easily.We forgive so easily even the atrocities done to the future of our Nation and to many generations to come.
Maybe it is time for the Premier to pay for the many corruption cases that went unheard or even defended,leaving a lot of us looking stupid in the face of evidence being availed as well.Am frustrated by the little things we overlook...I am excited for the future especially in the face of any revolutionary hint.Am hungry for change and for democracy and if that takes men so loyal to the power source coming down,am ready to see it happen.Too bad for the former Premier that in his need for some power he got his legs cut off,but good for me because one man is down and who knows how many will come down with him in the near future.One by one the mountain will burn and I will be a step close to seeing a new country. After all, it take destruction to have new growth...we need some of chairman Mao's constructive destruction one of these days.
In the due time,as Mr Mbabazi is trying to find his salvation,I got a government salary for the very first time(I am meant to write about the experiences from the census one of these days) did I feel the fulfillment for the salary? probably not but I felt motivated to go over my next journey with a smile and with energy of a warrior.Perhaps God is a gentleman with no particular color!He has got me thinking of my life theme"If it is to be, it is up to me" but as much as it is up to me, it is as well up to God.Maybe God knows better and maybe his timing for the future is what we have to work with.And in due time,our effort along side God's direction in our eventualities will probably not hurt our decisions.
May Mbabazi find solace in knowing that I am grateful that he got a piece of his own medicine and may Uganda see more confusion with in the head of house's camp just so the youth of the day may get the chance to their future that is NOW. And may many Ugandans join my jubilation in the near arrival of the freedom for the land.
I love my Country.
