In the wake of election fervour and the timely need for strategies on how to make sure that democracy prevails and there is change of leadership in the coming general elections.Teams have been made and lines drawn, it is either the NRM or the Democracy Alliance which was launched yesterday. Whereas I have always wished that we have less political parties to avoid the confusion especially at the polls. Other than that, as much as the Movement days are far gone, standing for ideas under the Movement was paramount in provindg an individual with a deep vision for the Nation.
Why, even now more than ever am I refraining to individual politics? You see, it is easy to forget the attrocities done on a Nation by people just because they finally appeal to the cause that we have for so long fought for. In this very case, I can never be accepting of Mr Amama Mbabazi, not now and definately not ever and I feel the deep pain of betrayal of the opposition taking on Mbabazi as if he was a saint from the go.(they say in politics there is no permanent enemy, as if it comforts my long desire for integrity) You know, once a thief always a thief. It doesnot go away, it stays with you far long than it should. When Amama Mbabazi was being paraded for scandal and corruption cases, everyone was at his throat, everyone saw the injustice he did to our Nation and it bitterly made many activists come out and denouce publicly their dealings with Mr Mbabazi and the like. We were bitter as a country and we wanted him to pay for his attrocities. And then the unlikely happened, he was elavated to Prime minister of a country that he had robbed continously. Yet in all anger we let him stay and take on his term. Unfortunately, to him and maybe fortunately to us Mr Amama was laid off his duties. I want to believe for reasons he finds unjustifiable. But then that doesnot make him a saint, it makes him just a victim of ill luck and maybe karma came seareching him out.
So then, how come in just a scope of months he has become one of us, him who ate the tax payers money,him who ate with the pigs in the Animal Farm, just because they chased him out of their circle he now feels that he belongs with us or rather we have made him apart of us.
I will stand for my integrity on a day like this, I will stand for democracy and sanity and not for a man who has served a self benefiting government and only thinks he can help bring back the nation to sanity by using the easy change of heart that lies deep in the souls of many Ugandans. I will never stand to hail the cause of Mr Amama Mbabazi much less of the reknown Sejjusa. I hate double stepping, you don't sleep with the devil and then come and make friends with the crowd simply because the devil can't have you anymore.
Therefore, as the opposition takes on 2016 elections as a coalition, I want to believe in ideas if they present viable ones, I want to see if they can redeem themselves. I want to see new faces being fronted for the cause. I want to have a litttle hope in their joint effort or else at the look of things from where I stand,we have a wounded animal for an opposition. There is a lot of work needed to be done to ensure that party members along the country can stand and present an individual who has ideas that are to change the country. One who is not power hungry like Mr Amama, bukenya and Sejjusa. I need to stand for ideas of democracy, development and growth. I choose to believe that all the prodigal sons of NRM do not stand for such a cause because they have once betrayed their land,they have once adamantly eaten from the National treasury yet went without any punishment given to their misconduct. so not now, not ever in my wildest dreams will I buy into a journey to better governance led by Mr Amama Mbabazi, Sejjusa or Gilbert Bukenya.
I wil stand for Ideas and not Individuals and they lack the former.
