Omw Ssemakula,
Thanx for forwarding your response to Dr Kigongo's response to the
quoted part of Kanyeihamba's book. I believe the starting point of this
engagement was whether or not Ibingira's view of the events of that time
should be taken as gospel truth, notwithstanding his subsequent

Ndugu Ssemakula,
Though these questions were addressed to Karoli Ssemogerere, I believe
my reply to you covered most of those grounds. Kanyeihamba describes
himself as one of the "Pillars of the NRM until appointed Justice of the
Supreme Court". You may want to know that the book is most unflatte
Omw Ssemakula, let me attempt to address the queries you raised after
reading through the quote from Kanyeihamba's book.

I thought Mr. Kanyeihamba's expertise was in law as it applies to urban

You are obviously a man on a mission! You are determined to use every

Ndugu Ssemakula,
While I am enjoying these exchanges of yours regarding our not so
distant political history, I am bemused by the fact that you would
characterise as "authoritative" anything said by Grace Ibingira of
Milton Obote and his times. Evidently, the two differed in very
fundamental ways;
