Dear all, I am happy of the improved quality of discussions on this forum but we can still do better. I would like us NOT to start partsan divisions on this forum. This brings division. The main issue right now is that we have people who are aspiring from all party angles for electoral posts and this is a constitutional right. Our duty here is to screen and come up with the best candidates irrespective of which party they belong to. We need people who are sensitive to the development of our region and the same time those who can influence development. The idea of bringing movement or opposition for our purpose here to me should not be encouraged. people will start attacking on those basis which will kill our well intentioned discussions. "One man's meat is another one poison". Everybody has a right to belong to any party so this should not be a point of our discussion. For example the deputy speaker, Kadaga comes from a region where NRM has been voted 100% time a memorial and Kadaga has been the movement MP since then, how come her people are rotting alive with Jiggers, where was she all this time, why has it become a problem now when many have died. How do you explain such occurrences! We cannot for example quote any developed region in westnile because the MPs have been in this party or that. Westnile has general development problems. Our interest is to get the best candidates so the candidates need to respond to our issues and concerns in order for us to do assessment. If you personally know the candidates well, give chance for those of us who dont know them to discuss with them. If you say for example somebody's manifesto is best, outline what is best for us, dont use sweeping statements,lumping everything as good or bad, explain why.I will choose a candidate after I am thoroughly convinced not based on party belongings. These are my personal suggestions on how we can impove and have healthy discussions here.
Thanks Christine
