Movt as bad as Aids?
In his response to city lawyer Erias Lukwago in Sunday Monitor, January 11, Mr Fox Odoi made an attempt to absolve the President of the evils that the Movement is better known for. Allow me to prove to Odoi that the Movement has become even worse than the HIV virus.
Just a few comparisons between the HIV virus and President Museveniâs Movement:
*The HIV virus always changes form and gets harder to treat as time goes on. In a similar manner, the Movement which started as UPM, then NRM, then just âMovementâ, and now NRM-O, at one time also called itself a system!
All these changes are fraudulent moves geared towards denying the host (Ugandans) any opportunity to get rid of it.*HIV itself does not kill; the victim dies from opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis, malaria, etc.
In a similar manner, the Movement, which we are told does not kill, has led to the death of scores of innocent Ugandans through opportunistic forces such as poverty, corruption, LRA, ADF, UPA, etc.*Once you catch HIV, it never leaves you; it will want to die with you at all costs.
It is not surprising that the Movement is not just interested in a third term in office but a total lifting of presidential term limits.*HIV/Aids is to some extent responding to anti-retroviral drugs but still remains a big threat to many people.
The Movement has also, rather reluctantly, accepted dialogue with other political organisations, after 18 years of trying to wipe them out.Recent statistical data shows that the rate of HIV infections, and therefore the death toll from Aids is steadily declining.
On the contrary deaths as a direct result of poverty and insurgency are on the rise or at best constant. It can thus be concluded that the Movement is now worse than HIV/Aids.
Those opposed to the Movement need the kind of commitment and zeal required to fight HIV/Aids.
