Matovu
Konny is in Uganda because of the mis deeds of your government. Konny was
never in Uganda before your government did what ever it did in Uganda. And
all he has done is to blame your government and your government to blame
him. But I still have people dying and suffering left right and centre. The
constitution was never crafted in a stone. When ever policies become
irrelevant we call an early election, but today we have a situation where a
whole bunch of people are dying left right and centre.
Matovu can your government show its humane side by calling an immediate
election so that our people can speak out their minds?
