Ndugu Ssenyange,how many of those gullible power seeking guys do you think have stopped to digest the import of this bluff from Mu7?. I thank you for seeing through this claptrap that Mu7 is laying out to perpetuate his heinous regime in Uganda.I only wish we could have one too many like you then shall we all gain what we want. In many parts of Uganda today especially so where peace was ushered in somewhere around January26,1986,this is music to their ears because their problem is not democracy but keeping some people out of Uganda. Mu7 is very aware of this and since he already have a willing crowd to dance to this music,his desire will prevail and those hellbent on keeping others out will likewise get better sleep. May God bless them. Thanks. Kipenji. ===================================================================

Netters,
Forget NRM\ Museveni's Federo. First and foremost it should not be for Buganda only. It should be open to all parts of Uganda. Second, Federo without tax powers is not federal. These 2 issues must exist otherwise its "trouble continues"
