Mr Kibuka,
He is the short answer to your question #1. from the horse's own mouth (my emphasis):
DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY
He did not mind people saying it was a good thing to have Parliamentary democracy, or even a great thing. But he stressed there was no point in pretending that Uganda was at a stage where
full Parliamentary democracy could obtain, because there were certain matters that came with it that were lacking in Uganda. These things had become effective in certain states in the world after many years of trial and error, and many upheavals. But they did not just come like that. Uganda must be prepared to go through years of trial and error in order to get them. Many countries of the world were in various transitional stages. It could not be achieved by wishful thinking.

Mr. Kibuka,You are right, Mwenda should have put those questions to AMO. It would seem from the 1966-1967 machinations ochestrated by Obote and his disciples that the answer to all the three questions is NO.Joseph

I bet you can venture an answer to these questions that the likes of
Mwenda should have asked:
1. Does Jal Obote believe in multi-partyism, free and fair elections
ec.?
2. Does Jal Obote believe in presidential term limits?
3. Does Jal Obote subscribe to power sharing in the form of federo?
It is allowed to subsitute Jal Obote for UPC as there is a very
little difference if at all between the two.
Cheers, M. Kibuka

Federo is the only way forward
