Friends
In just begging to be educated by you minds. What is the danger do Ugandans
see in extending the age limit of Uganda president? And again I asked this
question when age became an issue so serious to be included into the Uganda
constitution. And I ask this question for in honest I fail understanding why
age is a crisis in Uganda governance. Political power in Uganda is decided
through a vote, as in many other countries. So a candidate stands under his/her
political party and gets elected or not elected. Why is it important for
Ugandans to target the age of a candidate? Are Uganda old people dumn and
stupid to be in politics? Has Uganda as state, through its magnificent
educational institutions done a study and found out that old people cannot
lead? Does Uganda political structure at its failure due to the age of the
current leader?
I kindly need to be educated on this issue before I join a call that is very
bounding to age discrimination.

Subject: {UAH} A letter to USA ambassador in Uganda
July 29th, 2017
The Honorable Ms. Deborah Malac
Ambassador of USA
US Embassy Kampala
Ggaba Road
Kampala Uganda
+256414259791
Dear Honorable Ambassador
My name is Nathan Span a Uganda-American citizen currently living in Boston
Massachusetts. Like many concerned citizens of this country Uganda, I am
writing to express my disappointment in the way, the government of United
States and other donor partners kept on supporting the regime of president
Yoweri Museveni, given it Human Rights Records that stands out as a sore thumb.
Honorable ambassador the government of Uganda is preparing to amend the
constitution of Uganda to remove age limits the last safety valve left, to
allow president Museveni rule Uganda for life. United States of America has
been s champion in advocating for human rights and democracy but when it comes
to Africa specifically Uganda, the United States of America has always stood
with the oppressor instead of the oppressed.
The silence that is coming from our developmental partners regarding the
constitutional amendments in Uganda is deafening. US law makers are getting
ready to put more sanctions on the government of Venezuela if it elects a
legislative body that creates dictatorship. Is this not a double standard when
it comes to Uganda?
Recently the government of Uganda carried out an inhuman massacre in Kasese
where women and children were massacred and our developmental partners looked
the other way. In 2016, US Human Rights Report from the State Department issued
a scathing indictment of president Museveni's Human Records.?
Honorable Ambassador, your government criticized the way Museveni's government
conducted the 2016 elections saying that the elections fell short of
international standards and were marred by allegations of disenfranchisement
and voter intimidation, harassment of the opposition, closure of social media
websites and lack of transparency and independence in the Electoral Commission.
The State Department specifically mentioned three most serious human rights
problems in the country which included lack of respect for individual
integrity, unlawful killings, torture, arbitrary detention, and other abuse of
suspects and detainees.
Recently a supporter of Honorable Kyagulanyi one Patrick Sande Byamukama had
his testicles crashed by the police and according to his lawyer Mr. Ladislaus
Rwakafuzi has taken the government of Uganda to court, for torturing his client.
Honorable Ambassador you gave Ugandans hope when your team did the right thing
when you stood up and walked out during Museveni's inauguration and many
Ugandans felt that for once you're on their side but only to be left wondering.
Uganda-Americans in continental US are taking this opportunity to ask you to
stand with the people of Uganda in condemning the proposed constitutional
amendments to lift age limit. Uganda has never seen a peaceful transfer of
power since its independence in 1962. As Ugandans cannot come to the embassy
and present their grievances we have decided to do so in this letter.
We have started collecting signatures in the United Ststes to be presented to
the US congress in order to bring awareness to the American people concerning
the pending life presidency in Uganda.
Sincerely,
Nathan Span.
