Mulindwa,
I presume you are also for holding a referendum on political systems as well as one on the lifting of presidential term limits, am I right ?

Let us have a referendum on it, what is so wrong with that?

I thank Mr Lugendo for responding to my article, Federo is a unifying force for Uganda that appeared in The Weekly
Observer of April 15-21.
Federalism is one of the most important issues of our time.
I agree with him that advocates of federalism have not done enough to educate the masses about it.
The federal system we propose allows every Ugandan to live in a region of his or her choice. Non-Baganda will not be evicted from Buganda and Baganda should be able to live in other areas of Uganda.
Those opposed to federo tend to do so for personal reasons, including personal property, fear and hate, rather than possible shortcomings in the federal system itself.

Unedited letter
Dear Mr. Lugendo,
Thank you for responding to my article (Federo is a unifying force for Uganda) that appeared in The Weekly Observer of April 15, 2004. In my view, Federalism is one of the most important issues of our time!
I agree with you that Advocates for Federalism for All societies in Uganda have not done enough to educate the masses about our findings. Through opportunities such as this one, we are better positioned to engage in discussions and possibly impart acquired knowledge necessary for social and economic improvements for all Ugandans.
We believe that the problem in Uganda is the system. That system is the unitary model. It is the system because for the past 41 years the results are the same whether Uganda is led by an educated or semi-illiterate. This is in terms of human rights violations, corruption, theft, and the glaring socio-economic equalities among people and between societies/regions. The only change we have witnessed is the location/region of suffering.
We are proposing to restructure our social and economic institutions and not movements of people per se. The Federal system of governance we propose allows every Ugandan to live in a region of his or her choice. Non-Baganda will not be evicted from Buganda and Baganda should be able to live in other areas of the country. The fact that Mr. Otafire has amassed wealth in Buganda, does not, and should not give him the right to deprive or deny a people of their inherent right to self-determination. Our experience has shown that those opposed to the federo proposal, do so for personal reasons such as personal property, morbid fears and hate rather than possible limitations in the federal system itself. Leaving us to wonder about who is really looking out for 'the common good'.
We have managed to operationalize some of our findings through workshops, teleconferences, and consultations with key stakeholders, as well as a massive brainstorming happening at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit us at www.federo.com. This website has a brochure - translated into various Ugandan languages. We consider these developments a good start.
Wishing you the very best.
