Name sake
Your story is very telling, but I am trying to draw a consistence in our so
called good people who work with the so called bad leader. In as much as you
define them as good people, I question their sincerity when they have no
principles. Again Olara Otunnu is a classic example, of a man that worked with
Museveni to throw an elected government out of power. Where does he get the
nerve to use "Working with Museveni" as a cause for elimination? And Edward
that is a very direct question sir. Secondly there is a very frightening issue
about Olara Otunnu, now that we can only post their stupidity before they go to
the caskets. What Otunnu states in this interview, is sadly the very same
attitude UNLA/UNLF had when they returned from Tanzania, to eliminate everybody
who worked with Iddi Amin. UNLF/UNLA came to Uganda with a specific agenda of
eliminating an entire region (West Nile & Madi). And the results of such
determination produced us the deaths in the region including the Ombaci/Arua
massacres.
When Olara Otunnu goes to television and publicly swears and on tape in public,
that anybody who works in the Museveni government will not be welcomed in
Otunnu' s Uganda, puts UPC as a party to shame, and makes a fool of Obote
whose vision was to have one Uganda One people. Let us not forget that Yoweri
Museveni wanted to finish what UNLA/UNLF left unfinished, that of wiping the
North off the map of Uganda. One would have thought that Olara Otunnu and a
Northerner that has seen the camping raping and murdering so many innocent
people in his very own region, would reason very differently. But, as they say
birds of the same feather flock together, or a fruit does not fall far from the
tree, Olara Otunnu and Museveni have the very same vision: "The politics of
termination of Ugandans" It is getting clearer why he undermined the UPC
government.
And one gets very surprised when members of UPC in this forum fail to stand up
and disassociate themselves from this stupidity to now 24 hours.

Mr. Mulindwa;
I will answer you by way of a brief story;
One Saturday morning, in 1987, Robert Ouko, then Minister for Labor under
President Moi, invited me for a chat at his office.
I found another person (I won't name him) there, and the discussions were about
a biography that this other person was writing about the minister. I had known
Ouko for about 2 years, and somehow, he had developed a soft spot for me.
As that writer was digging into Ouko's thought process and personal values, I
ventured a question: Ajwoga (Luo for doctor), given your hesitation to
positively assess President Moi, both as a man and as your president, why do
you continue to work with him?
Without giving this potentially explosive question much consideration, Ouko
replied by quoting a line from the song by Luo musician, Owino Misiani, to the
effect that, " Even if we are all mad, still, one of us must lead us."
And he added, quite convincingly, "In any case, the little contribution I make
today, might be all the difference that our people need to see in order for
them to see their own potential and the potential of the nation as a whole."
So, my friend, I would be the last person to demonize wholescale, everyone who
worked with or for Idi Amin, Milton Obote or Yoweri Museveni. There are decent,
well-meaning Ugandans, of all tribes and social backgrounds, who truly wanted
to make a difference in our country, but ended up by being swallowed by the
tiger at the top.
Some, like my village mate, the evergreen Claudius Olweny, manage to come out
unscarthed; Olweny was Labor Commissioner or Director from 1977 to 2006! How he
managed to serve all those governments beats me.
William Oketcho, who was my uncle, was another civil servants with such a feat:
he started out during Idi Amin and retired under Museveni. Even his stint in
politics was too brief and tertiary to have contributed any meaningful hand in
strengthening Museveni's rule.
It's possible you are now realising that you were too harsh on the man
yesterday, but that's water under the bridge.

Name sake It is these issues that I need to communicate to you that really
get my head pounding. I want you to take a moment and listen to this fool, a
man that claims to stand by his principles. He is a political party leader
that has stated very clearly that if you have even the inclination of dealing
with Yoweri Museveni’s agenda, he does not need you in UPC and he will not
work with you. As I listened to him over and over I failed to understand his
cut off line of who works with Museveni or who does not. But I gave him that
and got simply interested into his standard of who UPC will deal with and who
it will not. One of the very many differences between degree holders and
critical thinker, is that critical thinkers keep track of people’s stands
whereas degree holders are reactionaries. When we go back at this fool’s
history we realize that he actually worked with Museveni and he was a
paramount figure in building Yoweri Museveni, even though Museveni lead an
organization that was built solely on murdering UPC members their families and
Northerners. When you go back to the peace talks you see this fool, when you
go to private meetings you see this fool, he was all over Museveni and after
he undermined an elected government to put Museveni into power, he made the
speech of “This is a great opportunity” a U-tube that I have posted many times
in this forum. It is important to note that even though everyone in and out
of UPC knew that Olara Otunnu undermined an elected government, yet he was
accepted back into UPC to even becoming its president. He has forgotten all
that and today he is placing the working with Museveni a man he himself
brought to power to be the cutting off age of any one in UPC that wants to
work with him. And that is how stupid degree holders act, because he has
forgotten that he himself brought Museveni to us not the other way around.
And let me tell you this too, one of the advantages of Museveni remaining into
power this much is that these fools are dying out one by one, what makes my
head pound is that at the passing of this fool on the day God will remember
us, you are going to stand in a middle of a road weeping how this is a great
loss to the state. Are you really kidding me? What are the principles of this
fool?
Is working with Museveni only good when removing an elected government? Is
that the point at which it gets acceptable?
Or he simply forgot what he did in our history? It is knowing such and
collecting such data on such fools that makes me go after them when they die
as William Oketcho successfully did the other day. Yes they are degree holders
and yes they have been in our politics for as long as I can recall, but
national heroes? Absolutely not sir. And we are at a point where one hopes the
rate at which they drop dead gets expedited, for this kind of nonsense needs
to stop. On the manner this government has wasted our country, I question
every one that decides to work with it. Mr. Olara Otunnu needs to realize that
there is no working with Museveni as running a political party in Uganda today
for UPC to be functioning in Kampala, proves that Museveni is a democratic
man. If you feel Museveni has to leave power, shut down the opposition parties
so that we can see Museveni as a true tyrant. You cannot support this
government by running a political party in Uganda, yet stand to condemn those
that work with Museveni. Olara Otunnu is a very wrong character to go after
those working with Museveni. This Utube refers sir.
