So if I continue with your logic you are saying
that either not all LCs are paid by the government or you are saying that all of
them will support third term, huh? May be politics is really not learned by the
many years we spend here only.

After all these years you still haven't learnt any politics?
WHO pays the LC's ? Would you have expected them to support anyone
else?
BTW, LC's in ALL other areas of Uganda ( including your area) will
be 'facilitated' by the President's office to make similar statements before
the end of 2006.

ugnet_: Buganda LC5s back 3rd term
"At home, if you are
satisfied, you just go aside and belch, that is very normal. We have just
started eating. Those of you who are satisfied should stealthily leave
the table, go and belch," he said.
I wonder if Kyeyune was honest
enough to tell the people of Entebbe for example, during his capmaigns
that he was asking them to give him votes so that he can go and
"eat".
Buganda LC5s back 3rd term
By Cyprian
Musoke
SEVEN district chairmen from Buganda have supported the
lifting of presidential term limits to enable President Yoweri
Museveni seek another term.
The chairmen and other local leaders
declared their support for the third term at a two-day meeting at
Enron Hotel in Mityana. The meeting closed yesterday.
Moses
Byaruhanga, President Museveni's assistant on political
affairs, presided over the closing ceremony.
The chairmen
included Ian Kyeyune of Wakiso, Herman Ssentongo of Ssembabule, Maj.
Joseph Kakooza of Mubende, Ddamulira Kyeyune of Mukono, Hajji Kabega
of Mpigi, Vincent Ssempijja of Masaka and that of Nakasongola, Chris
Bagonza.
Also present were deputy chairpersons, chief administrative
officers, district speakers, deputy speakers, LC3 chairmen and
sub-county chiefs in Buganda region. The seven chairmen, who attended
out of the 13 in the region, were prompted by their chairman, Ian
Kyeyune, to speak out. He said they could no longer afford to sit on
the fence.
"People know that what we, Baganda, want is often what is
attained. This is the central region that will take over the politics
of this country at one stage, and what we support is often what goes.
There is no excuse being in the middle of the line at this time," he
said.
Kyeyune urged the chairmen not to 'fight other people's wars',
in apparent reference to those who were agitating against the opening of
term limits. He said the opposition could not guarantee their
jobs.
"We who are in power must strive to retain our colleagues in
power. This is politics! We are not here to joke. As leaders, we must be
serious. If you are not interested in that power you are holding, you
leave quietly," he told an attentive audience.
He said in order to
protect the central region, they must be part of those who are in
power.
"At home, if you are satisfied, you just go aside and belch,
that is very normal. We have just started eating. Those of you who are
satisfied should stealthily leave the table, go and belch," he
said. Mukono district chairman Ddamulira Kyeyune said all chairmen
resolved the third term issue at the National Executive Committee
(NEC) meeting at Kyankwanzi last year and that no one would divert
from their resolution.
He, however, said there was need to consult
their councils. He asked the chairmen to "let those outside speak and us
within to fight them."
He said the best option was to leave the
matter to the people to decide in a referendum, to avoid being taken to
court by the opposition for having usurped the supreme power of the
people. "They are waiting for us to make a mistake, then they go to
court," he said.
Masaka district vice-chairman said he was happy when
anti-third term agitators were beaten in Masaka. "In Masaka, we
want the ekisanja fervently. We, as a district, resolved to back the
third term," he said.
Ssembabule chairman said he moved the motion to
open the term limits in the NEC meeting, and there was no way his
people could divert from him since their district 'started eating' when
the Movement came to power.
Hajji Kabega of Mpigi district said
Museveni was their resident in Kisozi and there was no way they could
oppose the third term for one of them.
Mubende's Maj. Kakooza said
they were bound by the resolution they made at Kyankwanzi to support the
opening of presidential term limits.
