Ndugu Ssemakula,

While I am enjoying these exchanges of yours regarding our not so
distant political history, I am bemused by the fact that you would
characterise as "authoritative" anything said by Grace Ibingira of
Milton Obote and his times. Evidently, the two differed in very
fundamental ways; one was imprisoned by the other; each felt betrayed by
the other. Supposing Milton Obote were to write about Grace Ibingira (as
I believe he did during some exchanges with a London Friend), would you
accept his writings/sayings as authoritative on said subject?

I've just got hold of Kanyeihamba's recent book, I intend to go through
it when time allows. Pinycwa's foreword seems to prepare the reader for
yet another biased account of Uganda's constitutional and political
developments. Where, then, does one turn for unbiased, objective and
authentic reading on Uganda?

Best regards,

Yoswa
