It is important to add as well that most of the people singing Federalism
are those that have grown up on Museveni era, and they are brought up
thinking that survival is built by sucking on a national cake. When Museveni
is in power Westerners make money. When a Muganda is in power Baganda make
money. And this very bad attitude sadly feeds on a generation that has never
seen Uganda as a successful and a lovely country. When Museveni came to
power he cut off the Entire North including cutting them off Uganda
television services but Television was working in the rest of the country,
Northerners were in camps. With that reasoning there is no development that
Akim Odong sees happening in Northern Uganda unless an Acholi is in power in
Gulu and they have their own government. Which on the cover makes sense
until when you go back into the argument and reason critically, there is no
single region that has got money through AID than Northern Uganda, and much
of that money handed to Northerners themselves, most of the NGOs are in The
North. What does Odong has to show for it? The only development you see in
the North happened during Unitary government when that government died the
entire country walloped into being looted.
Which brings me to Baganda love federalism.
Let us be very careful to separate Federalism from Monarchism, what you have
in Buganda noise is actually monarchism than Federalism. If Baganda wanted
Federalism, they would build the structures to implement it, and one of the
very basic fundamentals in building federalism is political parties. Whether
you structure out a country under a unitary or a Federal system you must
own functional political parties, because those two systems can only
function within party perimeters. The moment you deny political parties to
be in Uganda or in any part of Uganda or in any part of any country then you
have a military government. But the Baganda that stand up in this forum to
dictate for federalism are the very same Baganda disowning political
parties. And it is those very same Baganda that supported the banning of
political parties. There was a belief in Buganda that if you stop political
parties in Uganda you create a way for Mengo to hold a political authority,
for some un explained reasoning, there is a whole whack of Baganda that
actually believe that Mengo can hold a political authority and lead Buganda
without a political power and with no election but make Kabaka a life
president for ever. That is how narrow minded are some of our people. And
that is why when you turn around and question why we can never build a
Kabaka Yekka party to defend Buganda and Mengo in parliament, now you have
raised the bar of discussion passed many of Baganda in the forum. And at
that point of discussion you have just thrown Ssalongo Ssenoga under the
bus. What Ssalongo Ssenoga needs is to ban political parties in Uganda and
to remove Uganda government from Buganda, so that Buganda goes back to what
it was under Kabaka Chwa, we hold no election and we hold no political
partys but have the King as a leader for life of the region.
You cannot turn around and define Ssalongo Ssenoga as a Federalist but a
Monarchist living in utopia and illusion.

Mr. Kwitonda
Don't speak for westerners to justify your ego. Federo is a Buganda thing.
And not all Baganda are for Federo but just a few elites in Mengo and their
cohorts at the counties who directly benefit front the Mengo establishment
or the selfish prospects that arise from it.
The other non Baganda who want Federo do so with hope that it will rally
some conservative Baganda in their war against M7. Nothing more.
In the last elections, M7 brought an anti Kabaka bill in parliament a month
to elections and he won in Buganda.
Forget about Federo.
I wish the EAC works out

Yes, federal is no longer a Buganda thing. EVEN in the west, they know what
it will mean for them.

Mr Ocen;
Never mind Federo, there are some Baganda who are against the Kabakaship but
did not stop his reign. In any case if you're implying that federalism is
still confined to Buganda alone then you re mistaken. It's no longer a
Buganda issue but a Ugandan issue. No region will enjoy federal status more
than the northern region and they cannot wait for it!. Some of us who
foresighted, are working for a soft landing because its fete accompli!
