Dear Mike, It is suposed to be a group of CSOs like WestNile forum to take the views of the voiceless to government unfortunately, members on this forum including you, feel we should quitely take over government's role and dont let government know of our disatisfaction with the services. If I may ask, who is the government? When we talk of government people's mind goes direct to the President. We have local governments we should start with and then go up.If I am not mistaken you are one of the people in government who should know that we are not happy of the services because our people are suffering? I understand the fact that you cant bite the hand that feeds you but what about your next generation? you as an insider can advice on what best we can do not to distance your self from these realities. So what role can you play as a government official in the issues we are trying to adress? There are many government officials right from local governments to the national level in this forum. They can as well act as our messagers as West Nile forum NOT as Christine or Oguzu because the next thing we here will be unknown people knocking at Christine's or Oguzu's door for their heads.

Christine, I hope your views will reach the government from this forum. Likewise, I hope Oguzu Lee's rebuttal to his "brothers" [Todong, Moses Byaruhanga and Pakasi] gets across to them. Otherwise, you may need to use other more appropriate channels of communication directly accessible to them so that they can hear you. I Thank you for fighting for the development of West Nile.

To: [email protected] Dear Ajedra, I am not sure if there are partsan people here, if they are I distance my self from because I dont see any benefit from parties. But my problem is with our legitimate government. Do you know that we are taking over governments job as westnile forum. We are paying taxes and therefore shouldnt be doing the work of government of again starting to talk about these issues. So if i want my government to be accountable to me, I am not partsan. I want to see where my taxes are going. Thanks Christine ________________________________ From: gard ajedra <[email protected]> To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, April 29, 2010 11:27:18 AM Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] Can Northern Uganda cast vote of self-destruction? Brother Ejiku, I concur with you that the Foundation should be neutral and not engage in partisan politics. Those wish to propagate their political views should find other fora to do so. We should focus on development issues in our region and how our people can be assisted to get out of the misery which is bedeviling our region. For example, how the Public University can be operationalized as soon as possible, particularly in view of the fact that the region is ranked worse in academics.
