[Ugnet] Putting Leaders to Ridicule
Tuesday, June 22, 2010 Putting Leaders to Ridicule In Acoli, just as in many other progressive traditions, leaders were in the real sense servants of the people. And the example of Rwot Awic of the Payira personified that trait. Leadership came out of demonstrated competence and personal qualities that included a balanced temperament. Respect was earned, not bestowed by birth, neither by skills alone. Woe unto the leader who overreached his power or was incompetent. Soon the poets would fill the air with songs of ridicule that brought the culprit down to earth or put fire under the wayward loser. -- -- At issue was a picture of Mr. Otunnu staging a mock fight with a caricature of a traditional shield and a spear. In a chat room, some guys supposedly mocked Otunnu’s holding of the shield and the spear. The political correctness police jumped on their case. All kinds of disjointed and disconnected issues inundated the exchanges which amounted to much ado about nothing. -- -- For more click on the title or Odiyatalks below.

[Ugnet] It is insane to sign such an agreement!!!
Dear Mr Ruzindana,That Uganda has to seek legal recourse against Heritage Oil and Gas, in Britain, is so astounding that I am speechless.What are we to assume about Elly Karuhanga, Pierre Kabatsi, Sam Kuteesa and all of them lawyers around Museveni. These fellows grew up in an independent country!!Signing away our sovereignty is a most stupid action.Mitayo PotosiKololo prayers: Target was the electorate, not God By Augustine Ruzindana Posted Wednesday, June 23 2010 at 00:00 Government and Heritage Dispute: Saturday Vision of June 19 informed us that “Oil extraction hits snag” because of “tax disagreements” between Heritage Oil and Gas Company Ltd and the government. The government is insisting that Heritage has to pay capital gains tax if it sells its rights to another company. That is as it should be. But Heritage has refused arguing that it is not subject to the tax and it is therefore referring the dispute for arbitration in London in accordance with Article 26 of the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA). This provision equates the Ugandan state to Heritage company, thus negating the element of the public interest and sovereignty of Uganda. The Energy Institute to which the dispute may be referred is not a neutral or impartial entity as it represents oil companies and oil professionals in Britain, without representatives of oil producing developing countries. The current chair of the Institute is a Shell UK high official and he is responsible for selecting the expert to adjudicate the dispute. The Uganda government must, therefore, account to the people of Uganda as to why it agreed to a close that may cost the country $400 million. This is just the beginning of the heavy “losses” in this sector. *Mr Ruzindana is the FDC deputy secretary general for policy and research* a_ruzind...@yahoo.com ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] But Museveni is right. Let him leave the circus to the fools
Museveni not moved by football’s biggest competition By David Mafabi Posted Wednesday, June 23 2010 at 00:00 *Paliisa* Although majority of Ugandans are excited about the World Cup, President Museveni says he is not excited at all, let alone watch the beautiful game. The President said he would instead use his time valuably to move around the country to mobilise and sensitise Ugandans on how to fight poverty at their homesteads and how to change this country from a peasant economy into a modern one. Mr Museveni, who is on a five-day tour of the eastern districts of Butaleja, Pallisa, Busia, Tororo and Budaka to popularise and promote governments Prosperity-for-All programme, urged Ugandans to stop taking alcohol, gambling and watching football to join him in the fight against poverty. The five-day programme is aimed at improving household incomes and promoting modernisation of agricultural through the NAADS programme. “Somebody recently asked me about who had won World Cup,” the President said recently in Paliisa. “I was amused and I asked him who had qualified or whether the competition was finished.” The President also said he was invited to go and watch football in South Africa and refused because “I know football”. “So I decided to visit my people to teach them how to fight poverty at households to make Uganda a better place for us to live in. And you must know how to use your time valuably,” said President Museveni. He also advised parents to tell their children not to waste time watching World Cup. “Teach them about National Agricultural Advisory Services programmes and farming. This will help change this country not,” he said. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] Mr.Kato Kintu Remember the Word Hypocrites?--Ineffective Prayers
Believers are supposed to pray a certain way before it can be effective
prayer.
First they must be God pleasing; abiding by all 10 commandments and forgive
those who wronged them. Prayer is not supposed to be a show to bring
attention
to the praying people. The attention should be to God Almighty, not to
hoodwink
believers into voting for a politician or politicians. Let me stop here. I
know you get me.
You and everyone reading me, have a fantastic week Let us all engage in
genuine
prayer as well. God promised, if we ask, we will be given.

To: ugandans-at-heart
Praying for forgiveness when you Oppress people and people die everywhere
you go is useless.
Praying for forgiveness when your government is using properties which do
not belong to you or your so called government is useless.
