Ugandans
..appointment of the IGP, Governor of Bank of Uganda, Chief Justice
and Judiciary. Betty Kamya
Suppose this womans dream becomes true and we all stand up and line behind
the occupiers of above offices, guess who would have got the longest line of
supporters to become a Governor Bank of Uganda, Dr Suleiman Kigundu. Yes I
am lining behind Dr Kigundu for he is an educated man. Yes I am lining
behind Dr Kiggundu for he is our fellow Muganda. Yes I am lining behind Dr
Kiggundu for he is our fellow Muslim. The list of wanabees that would have
lined behind Kigundu to become a governor Bank of Uganda would have reached
Lake Victoria. And yet Dr Suleiman Kigundu ended up being just a simple
cheap thief. The man stole money from every Ugandan claiming that specific
serial numbers were stolen thus declared null and void. When you argue that
Kiggundu was not a simple cheap thief, then you are stating that he was so
stupid to a point of thinking that removing currency from circulation builds
a better national economy.
Should we really hand powers to Ugandans to elect Governors of Bank of
Uganda?
Just asking !!!!!!!!

CORRECTION - It is not the "Opposition" that launched the demand for
electoral reforms but "The Opposition in Parliament". Uganda Federal
Alliance (UFA), Peoples' Development Party (PDP), Peoples' Progressive Party
(PDP) and many others were not represented.
If UFA had been consulted, we would have advised the Opposition in
Parliament and civil society that "demanding" will NOT be useful!
"Demand" of who?
- The President, to help legislate himself out of the power he loves so
much?
- The Electoral Commission to help legislate themselves out of jobs?
- The 9th Parliament which has 267 NRM MPs who just endorsed
President Museveni sole NRM presidential contestant in their
parliamentary caucus in Kyankwanzi VS 54 Opposition MPs?
I can predict without fear of contradiction that their demands will at worst
be ignored. At best, if they table them before Parliament, a few concessions
will be made, for Govt to look good, but the important ones will be
defeated.
There are only two fora under the constitution of Uganda where laws are made
(i) Parliament (ii) referenda. The act of "demanding for electoral reforms"
is not provided for in the constitution of Uganda and even when 10,000,000
Ugandan "demand", it has no force of law and is not binding on anybody,
least of all the President. So why would the Opposition in Parliament and
Civil Society take us to MUK to "launch demands..." which will be ignored
because demanding for electoral reforms is not backed by law, when we can
demand for a referendum as provided for under Article 255(1) of the
constitution and mobilize voters to make decisions that "are binding on all
persons, organs and institutions of the State of Uganda..." as provided for
under Article 255 (3)?
UFA is already collecting signatures of registered voters under Article
255(1) to demand that the EC organises a referendum to amend the
Constitution of Uganda to among other things, overhaul the manner of
constituting the Electoral Commission, appointment of the IGP, Governor of
Bank of Uganda, Chief Justice and Judiciary. We have so far collected over
900,000 signatures of registered voters who have suppoterd the petition for
a national referendum to amend the constitution. It includes all the
electoral reforms proposed at the launch
Plan B should be to support the referendum effort where Ugandan voters will
decide directly on all the obnoxious items in the constitution. Neither
Parliament, the EC or the Executive can or will do it for us, we have to do
it ourselves and the referendum is the only channel that will have the force
of law

Comrades,
The opposition is way too fragmented to adhere to these demands. As usual,
Museveni is not going to yield to the demand for electoral reforms,
therefore, what we want to read about is:...what else does the opposition
has in store? In otherwords, "plan B"
Is it going to be business as usual, giving him company "AGAIN" to state
house?
