thanks for the info. Sad that this man of such integrity is no longer. What about the book though ?

Mw. Kasangwawo,
Alas, Neogy died in 1995. It is interesting that Uganda's ex-dictators are outliving many of their victims. Ufortunately, most of these witnesses of history are taking the knowledge of their uncomfortably intimate brushes with unbridled power to the grave.

Mw. Ssemakula,
this is a masterpiece - the type of bwiino to show the deniers what sort of
behaviour was prevalent during the Obote regimes. Is Neogy still alive and
did he finish that book ?

Netters,
As we all know, the Monitor newspaper is currently experiencing some, er, difficulties with the government. I thought that this might be an opportune time to take a look at where we have been with regard to this issue. I'll start off by sharing a letter from Rajat Neogy, former Editor of Transition during Obote I.
Transition was censored by the Obote government in a tragic comedy of errors that included the government arresting and beating up the editor of its own paper, The People when government agents were looking for Neogy, but that is another story. The editor was fired a few days later by an embarassed government.
Ssekanyolya, a Luganda daily, was banned outright, as were probably others. Perhaps history repeats itself, especially for those incapable or unwilling to learn from it: ideas are awfully hard to kill. As many a dictator has found out, sometimes too late, if the Emperor's clothes are torn and he is naked, gouging the eyes of the hapless populace does zilch about the state of the clothes, even as psycophants cheer.
I have put Neogy's letter in a pdf attachment (ca. 10K) which any browser or email program should be able to open. A free Acrobat reader is at www.adobe.com. Plain text is also available.
