Mr. Kabonero,
When will you clear headed chaps stop this politics of force, bribery, deciet and learn the art of political persuation?
In Luwero you killed people to make their surviving offsprings join your rebel ranks. 20 years after Luwero and you are still at it?
It seems like you can take some thugs out of Luwero but you can never take the Luwero out of them!
Shame!

I am still in UPC � Malinga
By Felix Osike and Jude Etyang
BUTEBO MP Dr. Stephen Malinga has said he has not crossed to the Movement because some issues have not been resolved.
Malinga, who heads the Uganda People�s Congress (UPC) parliamentary caucus, told The New Vision yesterday that he was under pressure from his constituency to cross to the Movement so that the area can be granted a district status.
�What I said was that if the President gave us district status, I would leave UPC and join him and encourage my people to work with him. My crossing is still under discussion because there are some little issues we are to iron out,� he said.
On where he belonged currently, Malinga said, �I am between UPC and the Movement.�
Malinga said during President Museveni�s visit to the area on Monday, he was forced by the Movement women activists to don the kisanja (dry
banana leaves), which symbolises support for a third term in office for the President.
�I couldn�t resist in front of the President because it would have been very bad,� Malinga said.
Malinga said his constituents wanted Butebo and Pallisa counties to be merged into a district because they had been marginalised for a long time. He said when the district status issue was raised, the President said it was minor.
Party officials, however, said Malinga was still their member. The party presidential policy commission chief, James Rwanyarare, said Malinga phoned him, saying he had not crossed to the Movement.
A State House statement on Monday said Malinga had crossed to the movement amid ululation from Movement supporters.
Rwanyarare, however, doubted that Malinga was forcefully adorned with a Movement T-shirt, Cap and kisanja.
�If they adorn you and
you do not want, you refuse. Malinga should have refused,� he said.
He added that Malinga, being a professional gynaecologist, probably did not want to disappoint the women who adorned him with kisanja.
