Mr Wambuga
 
It is way, way too late to attribute these sayings to Grace Ibingira.
 
WHY did Obote never refute them all these years? Did he never hear them or was it not worthwhile THEN ?

Netters, These "infamous words" were uttered by none other than himself Mr. Grace Ibingira at a rally in Buganda in 1965 when he was already campaining to belittle Milton.
The context of the whole thing was about where the Baganda should stand on the issue of the future of Uganda in the light of the imminent conflict between Uganda Government and Buganda Kingdom. In fact Mr. Ibingira being a UPC at the time knew what he was saying when he made such an utterance. He was infact threatening the Baganda ironically. He was talking to the people from the lost counties when he was justifying the reason for the refferendum which had just recently been concluded a couple of years before.
Being a UPC at the time some of the Baganda who heard the utterance attributed it to Apollo Milton Obote. you know people have the tendency of attributing things said by a member of any organization to the leadership, especially if it befits their attempts to propagate misleading political games, or wedge dubious interjections into "political myths". This is the only statement that suppossedly was made by a man like Obote of all the things he said over all these years!!. I mean how could any politician survive by just "one statement" and beat all odds. Would one expect dictator Museveni survive just because of his REAL statement about the "Northern Biological Substance". This is very simplistic, serious as it is.
In case you need any reference to this speech, I send you to the US Library of Congress reports on the 1966 Crisis and the build up to the UPC Annual Delegates Confefernce in Gulu, and the emergence of the 1967 Constitution.
I think in the interest of political sanity, it is time this issue should be put to rest once and for all.
Again these were NOT Apollo Milton Obote's words. They were Grace Ibingira's. But for reasons best known to those who are just trying to find words to attack Obote person, they hold on to the quotation.
But remember, no promonent Ugandan politician refers to those words because they know the source of the utterance, and do not wish to be associated with them if dragged to the court of Law.
I rest my case. Aluta continua!

Your friend Mulindwa hate to see you giving your identity like this. Why?
because he is hiding. We've asked him to do so more than 20 times but he
always keeps mumm.

2. one or two years ago, you and I argued for a truth and reconciliation
Commission. Apart from you, the rest of UPC members on this net rejected it.
Dont you realise that you're an island ( Pemba) in a big ocean ( Indian
Ocean) ?
