Hold national conference on federalism
President Yoweri Museveni is about to lose an opportunity to address and settle the federalism question once and for all. If the President had any interest in this matter he would have organised a national conference to discuss the issue with all stakeholders instead of wasting Mengo’s time.
The focus of such a conference would be to devise modalities for the devolution of power to, and defining the duties and responsibilities of regional leaders, identifying key projects and drawing up a time-table for successful transition to such a system.
Those discussions would be centred on genuine federalism whereby decentralised units would have autonomy and the attendant political and economic muscle in forms of powers and administrative tasks in such areas as raising revenue. Unfortunately, the President is using divide and rule tactics to isolate Mengo.
