I don't believe that Museveni is going to "talk to
Mengo". Ooh, please! How many times has he sworn to
talk to Mengo?? The fact is that he has not done so,
and he says the opposite. Take a look into his recent
Tororo speech when he blasted Mengo. Museveni talks
his �[fill in]-- about talking to Mengo and the Kabaka
when he is in Buganda. Basically to please folks!

Mukooza,
So long as UPC supporters continue their hatemonger
against Bugand a, Mu7 will rule Uganda until he's
deposed by the use of arms or killed by bullets.
That�s why he does�nt want to stop the war in the
north so that UPC can increase its sentiments against
Buganda- devide more, rule for ever. The result will
be as you see on Ugandanet. I am anti Museveni but
when the Adhola, Mulindwa, Akanga, Kipenji etc
continue the envious sentiments against Buganda, I
would rather give Mu7 a go ahead until a more credible
replacement ( free of UPC, NRM & Ganda sentiments ) is
found. I have argued UPC to initiate a Truth and
Reconciliation commission similar to South African
but they refused, saying that they have unfinished
business to settle with Buganda. Well, Baganda say
"Ekigy'omanyi........ kinyaga bitono"
"Sekawuka kaali kakulumye......." " okwerinda...ssi
butiitiizi"

Ssenyan ge,I would rather you keep your puerile talks
about you and your support for Mu7 to yourself.
In the same vein would one have to say that as long as
you and Buganda want to keep Mu7,then you can go ahead
and get the Federo for Buganda that Mu7 is peddling
before you?.
Wise people learn from other peoples' mistakes but
Fools always want to learn through their own
experiences which oftentimes turns to be very
expensive.
You think Mu7's killing fields that you support in the
North will go on for ever? What about if he achieves
what you want and still feels he needs to kill and by
that time only the Baganda like you are there for him
to kill, what will you say? Will you stop him from
killing you and your paranoid ilk?
The Motto that might have been started and adopted for
obscure reasons breeds more true today than then.
Lastly I want you to take it from me, Kipenji, that I
have nothing that I have ever envi ed about Buganda let
alone Baganda so your conclusions about my opinions on
this fora are very much misplaced.
Lets' wait and see.
Kipenji.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kipenji,
your envy of Buganda is there for all to see and it
knows no bounds. It has taken you so far that you even
criticize traditions and mottos whose origin you have
no clue about.
If you spent half of the energy which you waste
criticizing Buganda on developing your region, maybe
there would be something to show for it. Oh, that
reminds me. Why don't you answer Mw. Ssemakula's
question:
- what do you have to show by way of progress in your
area / community for the last umpteen years ?

Museveni to talk to Mengo, New Vision, 21st April 2004
By Alfred Wasike
PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has said he is willing to
discuss with the Buganda Kingdom officials at Mengo on
how much powers they should hold on.
"I am ready to discuss with my Mengo friends to
determine how much authority they want to hold. I have
no problem with discussion but the power must be
shared rationally," Museveni said while commissioning
the first phase of a sh2.7b office complex at the
Wakiso district headquarters yesterday.
Vice-President Prof Gilbert Bukenya and Minister for
the Presidency, Alhaj Ali Kirunda Kivejinja, were
among the guests.
"But I strongly object to all power being usurped from
the people at the villages, sub-counties and districts
and going to regional tiers. Why should I, a
mwanainchi walk from Buwekula to Mengo or Parliament
in Kampala to have my problems solved? I have a son
called M uhoozi. I can�t usurp the authority of running
his house. I can only advise him," he said as
his supporters yelled, " Museveni for 3rd term", "No
change" while displaying combined three-finger and
thumbs-up signs.
Museveni (right), said decentralisation had empowered
Ugandans to determine development in their areas. He
attacked exiled UPC leader Apolo Milton Obote for
tricking the DP and other political actors of the
1960s and concentrating power at the centre and
plunging the country into turbulence by abrogating the
constitution in 1967.
"He was so greedy that he was even appointing
gombolola chiefs. But when we went to the bush, we
changed all that by restoring power to the people. But
some people were against decentralisation," Museveni
said, triggering massive cheers.
He said the actual determinants of Uganda�s destiny
were ordinary people.
"It is wananchi who are the judges of Uganda�s present
and future. Those j udges like Kanyeihamba can only
judge cases of theft of goats. They can�t manage the
cases of politics. it is the voters who are supreme.
It is not Kanyeihamba, or the MPs. It is the people
who are the best judges because they have the power.
"So when I hear certain people saying wanainchi don�t
have the power, I really wonder what is wrong with
them. Those who want to dilute the people�s power
should just shut up. Leaders are servants. They can�t
have the same status as their bosses, the people they
lead. That is why we went into combat," he stressed.
He said as a result of the Movement�s electoral
success in the 1996 and 2001 polls, "We have used that
power entrusted to us to bring development from the
centre to the people.
In 1986, we used to collect sh5b in taxes. Now we
collect sh1,600b and soon we shall collect sh1,800b.
There are Government efforts, private sector-led by
investors and encouragement of household income s to
eradicate poverty," Museveni said.
