I thought Uganda needs vibrant young Ugandan to lead it from the Twarile
fiasco to the twenty first century. Why are DPs crying for Kigundu today?
for he has a lost population, a population seeing nothing but dark from
Mengo, a population which has failed to chose between Nationalism and
Culturalism. Do you really want to build your political base on this
population? Is UPC looking at this population to build a new Uganda? Is UPC
having a problem building leadership from the vibrant Ugandans in its cores
or there is none? For few months ago I saw one shot on Kampala road in a UPC
rally. Why doesn't UPC groom these individuals to leadership positions?
Bwambuga is UPC looking at Dr. Kiggundu for leadership? Help me here please,
inform me for now I am confused.

I think Dr. Kiggundu should join Uganda People's Congress. WE have enough
room for people like him. WE want people who work for Uganda.

begging Paulo Muwanga to see that Professor Lule does not come back into
Uganda, as much as Muwanga cared less. Have these youths forgotten that Dr.
Kigundu is a Moslem?
