Matek Pull the rug under NRM In his article âDonors Stuck With Museveniâ (The Monitor Wednesday May 19, 2004), Andrew Mwenda is right to highlight the role donors have played in propping up the Museveni regime and, by extension, impeding a smooth transition to a democratic dispensation. Indeed, should Uganda revert to a state of anarchy, the donor community will have nowhere to hide from the role they would have played in bringing it about by feeding a kleptocratic and autocratic regime on endless amounts of cash that have contributed to its entrenchment. He is, however, wrong to claim that, a âlocking of hornsâ between the President and the donors will lead to mutually assured destruction. Museveni, the proud president of a country that cannot pay its own bills, has no capacity to destroy donors, even figuratively. They, on the other hand, have all the power and capacity they need to advise him to pack his bags and head for Rwakitura, Kisozi, or wherever else meets his fancy, come 2006. Should he insist on hanging around regardless of that advice, and should he use means that bring them into disrepute for supporting him all these years, they have what it takes to destroy him. Even then they will remain with egg on their collective faces, destroyed they will not be. Having said that, the donor community have little time left to do what it takes to save their reputations as champions of democracy, freedom and human rights: pull the rug from under the decaying edifice the NRM regime is, and help the pro-democracy forces rally together in preparation for its impending implosion.
