Dear Ms. Akulia,
I usually desist from political talk because I am still a student of the politics of this country, I used to live in dreamland - dreaming and believing that many a people are well-wishers and desirous of a harmonious world full of abundant wealth for all - wisdom for all - where people are healthy and loving of each other - where any development initiative is looked at with a bright sense of belonging and positive spirits but alas as I continue to learn, it is a very greedy world, a selfish world, a world where we have "PHD", a world where some animals are more equal than others . A disgusting world! How many of our MP's have gone for third terms, fourth terms etc. Governance is being refined in this small nation . If you ask my opinion both sides are not helping us at the moment. Our politicians have detached themselves from the realities of Uganda. We have a very expensive executive, very expensive parliament, too many leaders an underpowered technical team struggling doctors, struggling teachers, struggling extension works that cannot help more than 30% farmers, struggling small & medium businesses that have limited or no incentives name all the issues that you can name, who do we blame! It's just a quagmire. [Our leaders who are supposed to be visionary have instead taught us to wait for handouts, they claim to give us fish - yet over 2000 years ago we were taught that it is better to learn how to fish, these leaders are taking us back 2000 years - we need to smell the beans and think of new ways of bringing our leaders to account. We should ask them to ensure that our hospitals are functional without "Ghost buildings" while our patients die away next to each other or even under the bed yes! Under the bed!!!, Why are we still not on the national grid, yes these are the questions we should ask them, how are our farmers being transformed from subsistence farms to high yield commercial farmers? How do we sustain our soils & environment, Schools, and many other facilities. and what are we doing to catalyze these developments . Why are we getting satisfied with small gains .????????????] The only reason I respond to you is because we have shared development ideas on how we can together make wealth using the resources with have land, water & human beings and we discussed at a very nice level - let's keep it that way, when you react to angry people you become angry and reduce yourself to their level. On the issue of this young girl MP, my advice if you have a council of elders and they feel the same let them caution her on public behavior and what it means to the people she purports to represent (she may then pay the ultimate price of being rejected if that is the common position of the constituents), however she is one of us we cannot abandon her (that is if she wants to associate and treasures her people J)! I chose to believe that she is just an ambitious young girl who is still in the early stages this research project (new form of political leadership where people are nominated unopposed). To all of us from a special region, a region of the eclipse a region that is simmering with potential for total transformation in the next 100 years! Let's exercise tolerance among each other especially in West Nile, among the 8 districts that have similar challenges and opportunities let appeal to our better side and drop these artificial elements that divide us. Let's pray! The end is what we should look at better livelihood, infrastructure, education, health, agriculture, governance etc. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Margaret Akulia Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 7:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] WestNileNet Digest, Vol 66, Issue 32 Here is a message I posted on Kobokoandfriendscommunity for your information. Below you will find a message that was sent to me directly (because I am from Koboko) about daughter Anite's behavior. Perhaps it will shed a bit more light into my "stern scold" of daughter Anite which pales in comparison to the "insult" below and others that are still coming to me directly because I am from Koboko!! You see, when you purport to represent "a people", it is no longer about you.... If Honourable Anite can "beg" like that, what makes you all so sure that she is really in it for the people of Koboko and not herself?! What makes you so sure that she will not sell our people to get what she wants?! What makes you so sure that she is not just looking for a job at the expense of the people of Koboko?! I am fiercely protective of Kakwa people and I will not stand by and watch anyone "drag them through the mud" without doing something about it and if that means losing respect from you all so be it!! Simply put, if you purport to represent my people, it is my business...... HERE IS ONE OF THE INSULTS I GOT: I get so "pissed off" by antics exhibited by your young MP. It was uncalled for and the "honourables" behaved just like little kids at Kyankwanzi. Someone said that the country has gone to the dogs or the dogs have come into the country. What do you do when the dogs have invaded the country and are everywhere? The one who is supposed to chase them is also a dog!

May we pray for peaceful transition in Uganda. "Pray my beloved country, the pearl of Africa". My heart bleeds for Uganda because child will feel the pain I feel today!!!!! Peace to you all. Idea.
