Charles, I have a better idea. Why don't you nudge Anite to join this raging debate so that we are not talking behind her back!
She will score huge Koboko and West Nile points by doing that. Not to mention being a seasoned "NRM party whip" by the time we are done with her..... (chuckles!!).... Don't you watch the grueling processes and "insults" Parliamentarians go through in your neck of the woods in Ottawa? Even the ones who "lose it" recover eventually....That is Democracy my brother which is long overdue in the Banana Republics of Africa (more chuckles!!)..... We owe it to our people to push and shove for Democracy. This is training for Anite. She would agree don't you think? Akulia Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 01:31:29 -0500 From: Charles Male <[email protected]> To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] WestNileNet Digest, Vol 66, Issue 40 I for one don't understand why Hon Anite's motion to endorse her leader as candidate for president in 2016 has become an issue: to me this is a non-issue that we should not even waste our time discussing it. When I first read online news about the issue, I laughed so hard that I drafted a response urging hon Anite to amend her motion so that prez Mu7 is declared LIFE PRESIDENT. I dont know if there is anyone in Uganda who still beleives prez Mu7 is going to relinguish and give up power VOLUNTARILY. With or without Anite's motion, prez Mu7 is GOING NO WHERE! we should stop misdirecting anger at messenger's like Anite. In fact, Anite's motion was pertinent in that it served to confirm what every Ugandan already knew -- that prez Mu7 has no intention of leaving the presidency. If Mu7 was wont to leave the SEAT, he would have come and declared very loud and clear that he was not running again. the fact that he remained silent and constantly says..the party will decide who will be the flag bearer is more than an indication that he is remaining president until DIVINE intervention! So brothers and sisters -- Anite's motion is a non issue. Let's pick a leaf from other people's around the world. West nilers should not be like sheep! If there are 10 parties out there then we should be spread out among the 10 parties so that WE ARE REPRESENTED. Let's not lock ourselves out of any single party! After Amin (RIP) was over thrown in 1979, the Acholi were hunting west nilers like wild animals..many of our relatives were killed, raped, maimed and scared for life. Yet, in 1985, after the overthrow of Obote, we had Gad Toko (RIP) and many west nilers joing with the Acholis to form government. I do not remember any one insult the late brigadier that he was giving MAracha or west nile a bad name. If we did not insult the late brigadier, i do not see any reason why we should insult Anite. When Semwogerere and later Besigye and others decided to legitimize Mu7s referendum on his leadership which was called elections, no one came out to insult them. Who in Uganda still thinks that Mu7 would seize power and hand it to DP, UPC or even to his rival Besigye?. If we did not insult the bad apples during the Amin(RIP), I don't see why we should take exception to hon Anite. If anyone is concerned about Anite then please feel free to communicate and advise with her privately. In politics there are no permanet enemies and there are no permanent friends. Retired Major General Benon Biraaro who is starting a new party was Museveni personal secretary in the bush. So ladies and gentlemen, let's begin the petition to declare HE, General Y K Mu7, LIFE PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF UGANDA.
