let me try again. If Museveni pays for the MPs are
all MPs going to call for a third term or only Baganda Lcs?

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

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.
