THE LEGACY OF MR. KIIZA BESIGYE WARREN KIFEFE

The contribution of #WesigeBesigye to the growth and development of democracy in Uganda is one of the topics many young Ugandans will study in history 1's African nationalism. You see, when I was still in school and we studied about the North, West, East and South African nationalists, it all seemed as though we were living in the future of great men of Uganda like Mr. Milton Obote 1&2 and Mr. Amin Daada, and all that was done in their era was something of the passed we could only study but never experience in a modern society, but it's a shame; we're living in history and not the future that many Ugandans sacrificed their lives for in the NRA war.

Now, the new list of modern African nationalist should include Mr. Besigye for his contribution the promotion of democracy, human rights, accountability and transparency of government in Uganda.

How else would we have known how terrible public funds have been mismanaged or embezzled in the #Museveni regime? Or even, how challenging anyone would have to find it to compete with an incumbent president in a manipulated military government like this in Uganda?

Many other politicians have come out to join him in the struggle for democracy and good governance but we all know that persistence and integrity have challenged them out of the struggle and some have succumbed to bribery and abandoned the struggle for common good, and followed personal gains.

The selfless preacher of democracy and good governance, Mr. Besigye, has awoken many sleeping Ugandans and addressed their daily challenges without fear, even for his life, or favour for relatives and tribesmen gaining from the corrupt government. Yes, he has led a team of people (citizens of Uganda) who believe we can do better than this.  It's therefore for this reason that all upright and hopeful thinking Ugandans have decided to finance and contribute to the struggles of Mr.Besigye, and to work voluntarily with him to promote democracy and good governance.

As for me, am grateful for the revolutionary seeds Mr.Besigye has planted in today's generation and the hope in a good, democratic, transparent, accountable and developmental government that favours all, which is possible in Uganda now and can be that way for long in the future. Indeed many Ugandans know today that what wet have for a government is not all that we'd want to be our government and therefore we want a better government, the best government wet can make by our selves and be completely proud of.

Mr.Besigye has informed, thought and criticised peacefully in every way possible and it doesn't matter whether he becomes president of Uganda or not come 18/02/2016, Mr. Besigye has played a good part in the governance of Uganda and he'll forever be our hero.

If #WesigeBesigye was a teacher, all Ugandans would be passing with flying colours because it's good for all of us, and if he had been a referee I'd bet on every game his team plays because am sure it'd be a sure win, but most of all if Mr.Besigye ever becomes president, am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that all Ugandans will be proud again of their country and will exhibit more patriotism than ever before... Uganda would develop and people would regain their confidence in social services provided to the by their government through fellow Ugandans. I won't stop dreaming and wishing for a day like this!

Ugandan Politics... Election 2016

In a post by Bahati Mohammed on Face Book on 02/01/2016.

Happy new year. I sincerely send my greetings to you all esp my friends that debates with me on face book.
I HV also shared this FDC post so that we can now debate the psychology of  crowds on rallies. So thx a lot. But we also talk abt rallies in Hospitals by Kiiza.
To the point: people shd know that all Presidential candidates were give a similar program for rallies and venues by the EC. The schedule was meant to allow each candidate to have a rally in every 280 constituencies in Uganda.
Kyarya the lady Candidate ran to UK, Barya fizzled out silently, Bwanika did some six in six districts, Biraro went to Mbale and got some malaria and the other day he was calling me. I don't know why.
Mbabazi has been struggling taking advantage of FDC supporters in districts towns. The FDC thinks that by supporting Mbabazi with some Ka crowd,  he will in the minds of people reduce M7 votes below 50%. WHEREAS NOT.

Kiiza the defiant Liberator has done so far a rally in each district that he has covered. I mean a district not a constituency. In his rallies he combines people from all the constituencies in that district in one such a rally and visibly the people may think that he has many people. But If you divide such a crowd into let's say  the five constituencies of Masindi, you will get a handful that would make Kiiza pack his boots and go home.
WE HAVE Only President M7 the FATHER OF THE NATION who has done a rally in every constituency according to EC'  program. And if you see the crowd for example in one rally in Kisoro, or what I saw at Kachumbara- Teso, such a crowd doubles that of Kiiza in the whole district of MASINDI.
And in any case if M7 decided to combine his crowds of let's say Kabale district, ie crowds of the five constituencies, where and in which venue would those people fit?

And FDC is using this trick to prepare people psycologicaly that; you see; we had many people and now they have won. Therefore they cheated. We in the NRM are doing just the lawful and busy gathering evidence. Instead of Kiiza doing rallies in every constituency, he does one at a district town and spends the remaining time threatening to visit hospitals, schools and other prohibited public places.
We are watching and taking note. In fact whether he wins or not, we, at least me, shall sue him over his unlawful conduct.Of deliberately breaking the laws of Uganda. A person who is charged with a case if moral turpitude is not allowed to lead in Uganda. Note this one brothers and sisters.

And the  EC is now on spot for being unfair to M7 and other candidates. I don't know why they allow Kiiza to hurt the public that he intends to lead. How can a practicing and professional doctor go to a hospital and tell the patients there that they have come to that hospital to die? That the wards in which they are being treated are Mortuaries. I'm informed that Some patients have immediately corrupsed and died on hearing the verbose from DR. KIIZA BESIGYE. Who accounts for those deaths?
And why can't the EC allow M7 to go to the same hospital and also explain to the same patients that what Kiiza is saying is not true. The EC shd be fair to all candidates.
Kyarya shd also go there, Barya, Biraro, Bwanika, Mbabazi, Mabirizi shd also go to the same patients to give their part of the story.And by end of all these visits to one patient of heart blood pressure, will he still be alive?
SO WHY KIIZA ALONE . If Kiiza is allowed to kill oatients because he is a candidate, let all be allowed. After all they all oaid the 20 m
WHY IS IT THAT KIZA IS THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO VISIT HOSPITALS EVEN BEFORE WE LISTEN TO THE REPUGNANT AND MALIGNANT MSG HE GIVES TO THE PATIENTS THERE? WHY, WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII..............

WHY shd Kiiza psychologically kill our people and the EC and police are watching. Treatment of a patient involves both physical- therapy and psyco- therapy. What is Kiiza doing to us MY GOD? WHO can save us from this power thirsty Colonel Doctor.
Has the Law in Uganda gone into abeyance or it has gone to sleep just because Kiiza is coming to lead us. The guy preaches defiance and every one is just there mesmerised and doing nothing. If he defies the Laws so that he can lead us why don't we also be allowed to defy the Law that allows him to lead us. Then he will never lead us. Aren't we equal before the law Gen. Kayihura?
But Ugandans don't loose hope. We have the constitution on our side. Articles one of this GRAND NORM gives us power over anybody in this country. The power to inter alia elect our leader and only where we have consented and applied our will. Let me wait and see how the people are going to leave  M7 the healer and psychological soother of our people and vote Kiiza the psychological killer of our patients in hospitals. It happens on on 18/02/16

My reply:

Haha... I've heard of words like impunity and they're all nicknames of the #NRM government. #WesigeBesigye has been stopped from visiting hospitals and schools, and soon bad roads, churches, mosques, and play grounds and/or disco halls will be out of bounds for him... wait!!!
About suing #WesigeBesigye, it's okay... the #NRM government owns both the so called Ugandan Police and the courts of law plus some known judges (except a few who defy,  like #WesigBesigye and follow justice). Now please do as you please...
Otherwise as brother in residence, happy new year and please as you know now that you're in Kabale, we're supposed to meet for a free chat... manya tury'abanywani mushawe, do don't stop these social meetings. As for me, peace and development are and should be a priority for all Ugandans.

THE NEED FOR A MINIMUM WAGE

Now USA has increased its minimum wage to $10/Hr, that's about UGX36,000... And in 8Hrs an average American will be earning about UGX288,000 and in a month UGX 6,336,000, without weekends and overtime.

Our current leader says if the government puts a minimum wage on the Labour provided by Ugandan citizens then it'll discourage investors as the cost of operating business in Uganda will be high.

Question is, which benefits out-weigh the others? Let's look at a few of them down here:-
1) With a minimum wage
- High labour efficiency
- Evenly distributed wealth
- No exploitation or modern slavery
- Improve quality of labour; as people can afford education with good earnings.
- Improve standards of living
- Bigger tax base
- Rapid development
- Improved and enlarged market base
- Income inequality gap is reduced
- Increased number of investors and medium business people
- Bla bla bla

2) Without a minimum wage
- All the above are not there or are still staggering... and the opposite of each is true.
- Increased number of investors, better known as exploiters
- Everything good about the lack of it is arguably negative...

Now, why do you think our government is still failing to give it's citizens an opportunity to better and respect their lives through a minimum wage? The answers are simple; our government encourages corruption, exploitation of its citizens and natural resources and wants to generally keep it's citizens poor...

If the business of an investor makes money, as many of them do, and they're taking it all without giving citizens what they deserve, is Uganda benefiting when the investors takes a share of the Ugandan government money back to his home country? No wonder Bank of Uganda is struggling with maintaining the value of the Ugandan shilling  against the dollar. And please don't think am racist or that i hate investors, I love my country as much, or even more than the investors love theirs.

Note that our unemployment levels amid all this exploitation is 64% (CCTV) and underemployment is I guess 99.4%.

Amb. Boaz Mbaya, Nairobi - Kenya says everyone in Uganda is looking forward for a change.

If you think otherwise let me or better us, know your opinion.
