Netters, Here we go again. Dictator Museveni says he is apologising. For what? Dictator Museveni is saying he is apologising for the suffering of the Acholi people. What he has not said is whether he is apologising for Kony, or for his short commings and cause of suffering for the Acholi people. Woodwinking the people of Kitgum again.
When you apologise you have to be clear and specific about what you are indeed humbling your self in contrite. Is the dictator waking up of his full responsibility for the suffering of the people of Acholi? His apology raises more questions than answer. Dictator Museveni must realise that there are steps to follow when you apologise. An apology during a photo opportunity just not do the magic. The steps you follow during an apology invloves, but is not limited to 1)Admitting the fault genuinly and addressing the circumstances that were responsibility for the occurence of the fault, 2)Apologising in contrite, 3)Working towards and dealing with the injustice caused and the hurt inflicted. Dictator Museveni should realise that he is dealing with human (people) here. Much is, therefore, expected of him beyond the simple words meant as a public relations act. Please read an article from the New Vision.............. ---------------------------------------------------------- Museveni Apologises For Acholi Suffering By Hamis Kaheru PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday extended his sympathy and condolence to the people of the Acholi sub-region and Kitgum district in particular for the suffering inflicted on them by the Lord’s Resistance Army rebels. Museveni, who was addressing Kitgum district leaders in Kitgum Town Hall on Tuesday, said the Government would assist those who have lost property to the rebels when peace is restored in the region. A statement from State House said Museveni appealed to Kitgum leaders to cooperate with UPDF officers and recruit LDUs and Special Police Constables to beef up security in their villages. Museveni said the LDUs would be supported and paid salaries beginning next financial year, the statement signed by the President’s press secretary, Mary Okurut, said. It said the President noted with satisfaction the pace of development in Kitgum district in the health, agriculture and education sectors despite the atrocities meted out on the people by the rebels. Museveni reportedly told the district leaders that the current situation in northern Uganda and other parts of the country was a result of cumulative problems caused by bad political ideologies based on tribalism and religion by past regimes. He said such ideologies resulted into unconstitutional methods that eventually brought bad managers like Idi Amin to power. The President said the Movement has been engaged in a sustained struggle to restore constitutional rule in Uganda since 1986 when it came to power. He said the country had made great strides in democracy as manifested in the promulgation of the 1995 constitution. The statement said the minister of state for sports, Henry Okello Oryem, reported that the people of Kitgum condemned any form of rebellion and supported the Movement government in its development programmes and in its efforts to wipe out the rebels.
