Mzee Adoko Nekyon was a patriotic man I have no question there, but let us
please not question our fore fathers that made so many guiding statements
that have brought us to this civility. And one of the very many was Embwa

Is this Ocen Nekyon related to Mzee Adoko Nekyon? I hope not,
for Mzee Nekyon is one of the gallant Ugandan patriots our country is so
lucky to have had.
I suspect that by threatening a military coup m7 is sending a message to
Tinyefunza, Nuwa Amanya-Mushega etc
That he will beg his Anglo-American
Zionist Fascist Masters to create some kavuyo and get rid of them, like
they did to Mayombo.
Our problems, though, are not individual merit, otherwise we Ugandans
would already have solved our problems with ideologically bankrupt political
parties like DP or FDC, which parties are alternatives to individual
merit.
Our problems stem from the general shallowness, emptiness and backwardness
you see in people like Nekyon, Gook, Ssemuwemba, Jack Ssabiti, Sam Njuba,
Anne Mugisha, and on and on
.
Let us turn to this political activist author, Mr Wokuret who is
advocating to amend the Constitution, get rid of Constituencies and
introduce Proportional Representation (PR).
That is how they do it in the new apartheid South Africa.
In the old days Boers had Constituencies for whites, and Indians and
Coloureds, with MPs answerable to their Constituencies.
Today Zuma sits in secret with others and writes a list of MPs. The people
vote for ANC not MPs. You cross Zuma and next time you will not be on the
list of MPs. It is not the people to decide. MPs have no Constituency and
feel no obligation to specific voters.
You are Indian thieving merchant and a friend of Zuma? He puts you on the
list of MPs.
You are a Boer who is subjugating blacks on your land and you become
friends with Zuma, he makes you MP and Minister of Agriculture, and you
stand up, today, and tell the whole world that when white Colonists arrived
in South Africa on 24th Dec 1651 the whole land up to Zimbabwe was empty to
grab.
That is your (PR) New Democracy in S.A.
I say, in the Mechanics of Democracy apartheid was more democratic for its
constituents than this new garbage of Mandela, Mbeki, Cyril Ramaphosa is for
Black South Africans.
Boers counted each of their votes properly, missing not a single vote. They
were so few settlers, and to boost the vote count they became the first
Whites anywhere to allow women to vote.
Today, if you control Zuma you control Parliament, indeed you own the damn
country.
We have to revisit and fight for the Pan-African path as advocated by,
Marcus Garvey, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Gamal Adel
Nasser, and our beloved Muammar al-Gaddafi

Political patronage actually is more in Ugandans than in their leaders. Ki
Luts does not defend Ssabassajja Mutebi for he is a good leader but for he
is the King of Buganda, Edward Pojim does not support Olara Otunnu for he is
a good leader but for he is a Luo, Ocen Nekyon does not support Obama for he
is a good leader but for he is a Luo. When you extract the support and look
only on what those leaders have done, some are supported even before they
are leaders to do anything worth the support. Abbey Ssemuwemba does not cry
for Suleiman Kigundu for he was a good leader but for he is a Moslem,
Kigundu never lead any country he actually came to financé and stole money
from every Ugandan by lying that our money was stolen, but his being a
Moslem covers all that and he ends up supported. Is Museveni the problem
really? So he walked to Pojim s house and bribed him to support the worst
American president ever? No I did not think so.
Let us get off the back of Museveni and look in a mirror what we will see
must scare us if we are still that intelligent.

The virus that is going to kill Uganda is the political system called
POLITICAL PATRONAGE whereby Museveni must please/bribe people to support
him. That is why he has all those ministers and presidential advisors.
Museveni's political system is the burden Ugandans must bear in order to
keep him in power.

One, they say is an incidence; two is coincidence but three is a commitment.

The UPDF Commander in Chief, Gen Yoweri Museveni, the minister of Defence,
Dr Crispus Kiyonga, and the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Aronda Nyakairima,
have one after another recently repeated the message about the possibility
of the army taking over the government!
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343>
Is this the legendary

d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> wheel coming full circle, from the
ragtag army that preached a fundamental change, through sham elections and
now back to military rule?!
What has incensed
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> Mzee and his clan Generals so much
that they are left with no option but to resort to the long-forgotten and
internationally-derided military coups? Previously, the regime has done so
well using patronage, dishing freebies and chopping up districts to enhance
divide and rule. Have all these failed?
All the three who spoke have insinuated that the army would take over if
Parliament turns the country into anarchy. Just for the record, about 75% of
MPs of the 9th Parliament belong to the ruling party.
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343>
The same ruling party emptied the treasury during the 2011 elections to
enable their MPs buy their way into the House. Is that the reason Museveni
is shocked and angered that the
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> idiots whom he spent so much money
on to have them fixed in Parliament should be giving him such a hard time?
But the President should not exhaust himself and his store of insults with
threats of military takeovers. He only needs to be reminded that today
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> s so-called party indiscipline was
actually bred and nurtured by him through the then famous individual merit
system!
On his arrival, Museveni castigated parties, saying they were divisive. He
encouraged individualism that was dressed in the beautified language of
individual merit. Now the very system he nurtured is coming back to haunt
him. Recently, as NRM legislators ate and danced away the nights in
Kyankwanzi, the party should have used this time to exorcise its members of
the
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> evil spirits of individual merit!
But also, one needs to ask: why doesn
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> t the executive ask the hard
questions as to why its MPs are behaving in such a manner? This reminds me
of Daniel Golemans word cited in Stephen Coveys The little Big Things.
Daniel Goleman said: How can a high-level leader like
be so out of touch
with the truth
? In fact the higher up the leader climbs, the less accurate
his self-assessment is likely to be. The problem is an acute lack of
feedback, especially on peoples issues.
The reason MPs have severally disagreed with the executive
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> s position could be that they have a
more accurate feedback about peoples issues. The so-called rebel MPs are
more popular because they represent what the ordinary person feels. Look at
the grief that was poured out when the late Cerinah Nebanda passed on!
And why wouldn
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343> t MPs go against the executive when
they are the ones feeling the heat from the populace?
I read about a proposed constitutional amendment to ensure MPs do not freely
speak against their party. I think that if such a law is passed under the
current framework, the MPs will be in a precarious position. Rather, the
Constitution should be amended to replace constituency MPs with Proportional
Representation (PR) ones.
<http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_mailto&tmpl=component&link=9519
d0eda15411a789b5bfe5cbe88d7b6b376343>
PR will enable Museveni have a firm grip on all his MPs since it will be the
party that will have selected members to represent it in Parliament. The
party will also easily recall any member without fear of the risk of losing
that constituency. Finally, PR will wave off the pressure on MPs who
sometimes have to act in the interest of their constituents since under
proportional representation, the electorate vote a party not an individual.
