Hello Ejiku and Dear friends! I thank you all for your discussions.
In order for us to avoid this kind of divisive approach of creating ethnically inclined Districts,We need a republican Federation which will enhance the understanding of civic responsibilities, engagement and participation of citizens in order to nurture a common identity by which our ethnic, cultural and traditional diversities translates into stepping stones for a more effective political, economic and social synergy. The problem we have is that we think Federo is a Buganda agenda. The truth is that Uganda is faced with a glaring political breakdown due to increased militarization of public order management, crippling civil - state relationship hence increasing fragility of the state of The Rule of Law, Killing the spirit of accountability and transparency in public resource management . We also see continued political irresponsiveness and reactionary approach which fuel disunity.This shows that the choice of political system and approach for this country is a wrong one. Unitary governments were only relevant during the colonial and early post colonial era where there was a common enemy. But over 47 years after the independence we are still struggling to unite the country against which enemy? We should be at a point of realizing how frustrating one party dream of a unitary government is and how it is often hijacked by ethnic oligarchy, elite hegemony and Militant instincts respectively. My point is that the regions of this country should be given the opportunity to manage their affairs and the central Government through the parliament regulates the Economy, Public Order and other public goods.That is why I strongly think if West Nile region and other regions in this country got republican federal status we could manage our affairs better and uniquely contribute a strong union. I am aware that there is the political quagmire of indecision on resolving the Buganda aspirations for a constitutional monarchy and feudal land ownership wrapped in their demand for federo. Dealing with these kind of sentiments would create a great opportunity for national stability and union which would pave way for regional integration and federation.

Baganda want to remain together and they agitate for federo. Is it this net we agitate for as our only uniting factor. Fellows wake up and smell the coffee.
