Why we are as we are! Now just imagine that a man climbs a street light on Kampala or Bombo Road with a motive to steal the light and so he does – how possible could such an act take place without anybody reacting?! Or let us just imagine that no body reacts at all and why exactly?
Mark you, as compared to the past – Uganda urban centres are filled with security guards from all former fighting forces manning and guarding buildings. All these so called security agencies, in one way or the other are owned by government officials with a military background! Their business acumen and shrewdness and the poor’s laziness! Many Ugandans might be quite expectant - I am not, unless there is a strong movement to stand firm on the ground, against the ruling order ready to practically do something about our situation. If you were made a procurement officer for ambulances for a third world country, what will you buy? Citizens ambulances are cabin pickups, many of donated to each and almost every district or small dispensary. Better than nothing but a pickup can’t deliver a wounded soldier, without worsening his /her situation – but this is Uganda. Look at ambulances on the west bank in Palestine or military ambulances indeed there’re not pickups! Observation shows, since 1979, when there was massive looting – the habit has been fully internalised and legalised, into Ugandans psychic and unfortunately lifted to the highest society level of governance. The collapse of clothes making factories, UCB and in particular Uganda railways and Uganda Airlines are two dazzling examples. These are special in that it’s government officials and their allies, who stole everything – today’s liberators! Aah sanity and the peasant! I have personally interacted with one of the above entities with a sole motive of getting more information about what exactly is happening and I have some reasons to fear for the future of our country. Is there no single person who can for example run a light city train (tram) or at least a cow wagon on given lines i.e. to tackle city traffic congestion? Think about it and ask what the matter really is? Mark you; all senior government officials have been at least once in European, Asia or North America countries! Owners of bodaboda and matatu – the boss! Or who sabotaged Wavamuno buses, Entebbe buses, and recently suggested public buses now transferred to Kenya? Who told lies about Uganda Airlines, Kichwamba – liberators indeed. Why is it that politicians on the opposition side and its supportive media infrastructure don’t talk about such issues - what is their fear or at stake!? There must be something greater than mere ignorance on their side, if not deliberate malice. The majority of well to do – of our society reside in and around the capital city Kampala. Usually in so-called posh suburbs of the city with slums surrounding them. What happens and I say to all of them, the issue is a skin off their noses. Unfortunately not a single individual, however highly placed or status on any society level has ever intervened into the conditions that rule in the city. Now why should they get concerned with society poverty, degeneration and the like? Do you remember Barlonyo no kichwamba This is shocking and must worry us a lot, on the one hand, the most wise are ready to stop any entity that tries to arrest that order in and around the country! In fact the same people have been at the forefront of furthering and acerbating the situation in the capital by: running money ventures detrimental to the development of the city, some have a premeditated idea that any governmental intervention into the same, is a danger to their monetary standing hence their lives. So whatever happens in this country, is not that country is not organised to tackle it but rather that interested parties with their internal motives, only understood by them are well organised to stall all such progressive changes. - and you believe them if you wish.
