Okello:
Learn to be a critical thinker! I look at Buganda in the way I do because it is the fact. However bitter facts might be, they are the facts. Living in denial has not helped us, As it?? Uganda today has a Commonwealth membership. I suppose well educated, informed members of society will not come here and discuss that Uganda is owned by the Commonwealth or donors because of their "contributions" to the development of Uganda.
This is the same reason some well educated, informed members of Uganda have come out here and discussed that Buganda (Kampala) does not infact belong to Buganda because "others" contributed to its development. With propably a mere 20% (divided among the rest) for the gross developmental projects that occured in Buganda(Kampala). When will Ugandans acquire the art of intellectual sophistication and diplomacy?? The Ugandan educational system has so far not helped that much!
Mr. Okello, the main reason why Uganda is the way it is today is because of politicians not looking at it the way I do. These "tough political battles" you are talking about exist only in your mind. It is time to change the political landscape of Uganda. Present situations can teach us alot if we are willing to listen and learn. But if we don't learn things shall always stay the same.
Why can't you be creative?? Why are you running out of this debate?? Never give up, challenge me and together in this debate, we can be creative and come up with better options (if they exist). My hands are not full, I can keep up real good. However the question is; Can you keep up with me??
Do not worry about "who in fact is Rehema Mukooza?". That is not as important as the issues I'm raising. Do not get distracted or distract others! This is in fact how silly and unfocused you people can get! I guess critical thinking is tough on people of this kind.

Rehema Mukooza,Who in fact is Rehema Mukooza?Anyway, Rehema, with due respect, I have no problem with the way you look at Buganda in Uganda. But I suspect you will have some tough political battles to do if that is the way you look at Buganda in Uganda. I therefore think your hands are full; I do not want to go any further contributing on this issue/debate.Wishing you all the best.
Rehema Mukooza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Okello:You are exactly right on the point! Other Ugandans' spent their taxes in building some of the buildings in the city. These Ugandans taxes have been spent by the central gov'ts strengthening its interests in Buganda. Ask yourself why?? Why could a Lango president spend taxes from Lango building himself mansions in Buganda?? Filling the Buganda police force with Langi persons, who understood none about the native Luganda language, creating all sorts of misunderstandings. Other than strengthening his (Obote) interests in Buganda, give another reason.Let me caution you my friend! Contributing a small amount of taxes that the central gov't used to do its job as a gov't, to build roads and gov't buildings in Buganda (Kampala) does not mean Buganda did not contribute the largest amount. We need to look back into the taxation records and we shall find out exactly how much taxes the rest of Uganda contributed to the central gov't, which the central gov't in turn used to help with the building of Buganda (Kampala).Mr. Okello, I want you to bring the tax records, and the central gov'ts budget here on Ugandanet, and have me discuss this in details. Buganda contributed to the building and raising of her herself (Kampala) at an estimate of 80%, I believe it is more than that. As matter of fact the most region that has contributed significantly in the range of the remaining 20% is Busoga, due to her industrial revolution and electricity, plus its trade routes to Kenya. Busoga in turn gained to, worth not for this thug-Mu7 taking power and Busoga's industrial revolution declined.I want to make it clear to you that Buganda is Buganda, It stays intact. I've heard of these silly stories of non-Baganda getting scared to support federalism because they think that they will be chased out of Buganda (Kampala)! These people must not be capable of critical thinking! Don't they know about property rights?? If the central gov't has its buildings in Buganda (Kampala), who is going to temper with their property rights?? Who is going to temper with the central gov'ts international airport in Entebbe?? People who are afraid as such must not have been familiar with the rule of law, and a constitution! This is a clash of civilizations! One civilization is capable of mastering the rule of law, and some are not! What a misfortune!Belonging to any tribe/nation is a good thing. It's our African identity civilization.I guess the donors of Uganda will claim Uganda as their territory because they "contributed" to the building of Uganda. Is this why we have a Commonwealth membership?? But we Ugandans know better that Uganda belongs to Uganda. Why is that?? Answer, Mr. Okello then we can continue with our conversation.Zakoomu R.
