Why did Mu7 hate Dr. Obote, a man who recruited him into public service when he
was still a student, so much? Was his hate for Dr. Obote only personal or he
translated the hate into hating the party the man found?
Gau, I like intelligent discussions.

Yes Kelle, I bear with you on this "Obal-UPC's" suicidal crusade. Except the
part that, "it is / was Musseveni" holding the dagger. That contradicts your
"look inside" call.
A strong political party is always opposed and all political parties undermine
each other and attract members from each other. Each party chooses it's counter
weapon (strategy).
The UPC could not be so dumb that they did not realize other parties too are
grazing the same pasture: the same Ugandan electorates.
The deal is all you party folks got to know the game and as you put it, look
deep inside before of throwing the blame on some one else.

Mr Semuwemba,
What these UPC members and supoorters are doing, is continue killing UPC
further.
They do not realise the level of destruction Mu7 has meted on the party so
far, that for UPC to regain some of its vegetative nerves, so it can begin to
function again as a party, the party needs a dock to anchor, while it recovers.
Dr Besigye, by breaking away from the NRA/M, offers perfectly that
opportunity UPC, as a beaten up party, needs, if it should regain its lost
glory.
Many of UPC bigshots, like Rwakasisi, Lurangaranga, Rwanyarare, Okulu Epak,
Obadiya Lalobo, on and on, are either long gone, and no longer with us, or are
just struggling with a non-visionary youths, who should know how to go about
this terrible era in the party's life, but they don't. Most of these youths are
just by and large confused.
To them, Dr. Besigye is their enemy #1. So all their energies are being
expended to fight Dr. Besigye and his FDC, when the real person who worked
diligently to kill the party is still sitting on that throne and presiding over
the complete annihillation of the party.
As these UPC members and supporters fight Dr. Besigye and his FDC, Dr.
Besigye and his party will eventually fight back. And Mu7? He will be smilling
all the way to the bank!! For, after these two have destroyed themselves, who
will be left to fight the Bahima's master plan of ruling Uganda for 50 years??
I have stated before that UPC is infiltrated. I will repeat again, the party
is infiltrated. For, the way some of these UPC diehards are fixated with Dr.
Besigye and his FDC, leave a lot to be desired, given Dr. Besigye is not even
in power! And until UPC look inward, the Otienos, Ocaya, Mulindwas, Okellos,
will just be wipping an already dead horse.
Pure and simple.

Mr. Edward,
You may as well would have written this article yourself. The whole article
sounds like you not Ochieno. I noted so many words you normally use during this
situation. It is so amazing how UPC wastes the partys finances de-campaigning
the opposition party instead of NRMO. Have a good one.
Abbey
GOD BLESS

OTHER THOUGHTS | Joseph Ochieno
...
It is UPC that has set the political pace
October 27 - November 3, 2007
In his column entitled Besigye turns Ugandan political tradition upside
down, Daily Monitor, October 22, typical of reconditioned NRMs, Dr Munini
Mulera attempts to justify the repackaging of Dr Kizza Besigye by attempting to
set his bar against previous leaders of Uganda, including Dr Milton Obote. A
fine attempt it was.
Courageous and patriotic, he describes Besigye, and hailing him on internal
democracy within FDC.
I recognise Dr Besigyes courage in falling out with President Yoweri
Museveni, but I am yet to be fully satisfied whether this was as a result of
personal, social, political or genuine patriotic reasons. Whatever the case, I
do not recognise Dr Muninis version of political traditions, nor do I accept
that Dr Besigyes standard is Ugandas political best. We have been hoodwinked
for so long, that particularly for the youths, we do not recognise that we
deserve better, whether in politics, economics, public service or even basic
moral standards.
Dr Besigye took 19 years, from the NRA terror war in 1981 to realise that
President Musevenis system was illegal. Some leaders of FDC say they were
duped, others that it is the President who deviated from the original good
NRM/NRA path, that is why they fell out. Where then is the judgement of our
would-be leaders?
Dr Besigye was President Musevenis personal doctor and later director of
training and operations in the infamous NRA. Ugandans may ask: When the Luwero
skulls were being sorted for publicity, where was he? When bombs were being
hurled at innocent citizens in Kampalas taxi park and Ugandans, especially of
northern extraction were being framed Anyanyas, where was he? When Iteso
people were being roasted in broad day light in Mukura, the massacres at Atiak
and Corner Kilak, where was Dr Besigye?
And when Objective no. 1 of the NRA/NRM was being coined -. to overthrow the
UPC/Obote
government by force of arms if necessary and establish a one party
state under NRA/NRM, where was Kizza? When they stormed Kampala in January 1986
and instituted the ban on political party activities, where was Kizza?
Besigye, the National Political Commissar of NRA must have had an idea or an
opinion on what was to become Article 269 of the NRA Constitution that clearly
stated that existing political parties like DP and UPC may exist in name only
but may not; open or operate branches or constituencies, hold public rallies,
campaign for or sponsor candidates for local or national elections, or hold
national delegates conferences to debate its policies or elect leaders.
It was not until UPC and DP challenged these obnoxious provisions in court
and won, on November 17, 2004, that it became possible for political parties in
Uganda to operate including Besigyes FDC. For the record, Obote led in that
legal campaign.
The UPC Constitution, a document that Museveni and Besigyes wing of NRM took
a leaf from clearly states that our leaders are elected by the Delegates
Conferences.
In as long as the ban imposed by Museveni and Besigye was in force, UPC could
not hold such a conference hence, Obote could not hand over power unless of
course he delivered it to quislings and turn-coats unconstitutionally that
is.
Immediately we won the court case in 2004, Obote quickly set up the
Constitutional Steering Commission under the chairmanship of Haji Badru Wegulo,
that led to the first UPC Delegates Conference in November 2005 and the
election of Mama Miria as the new president. It was the most open and
democratic election of any party leader that season, all in the glare of the
media.
Besigye and Munini should give thanks and credit to Obote, otherwise,
perhaps, it would have been another 2001 in which the thirst for power rather
than building of national democratic institutions would have meant candidates
standing once again on personal merit other than on competitive multiparty
tickets. If they are serious, let them take a leaf from their British
Conservative Party friends who have had four new leaders since 1997. That is,
leaders stepping down after losing elections. Yes, Besigye lost in their
personal merit games in 2001 and again in the 2006 charade.
Comparing Besigye with Obote is a tall order. For the record, it was Obote
who, in the first exile in Tanzania, told President Julius Nyerere that it is
nice to step down when one is still popular. It follows from this that had it
not been for the coup by Amin and the British, the elections which were due in
1971 and which UPC was expected to win, would have been Obotes last as
president.
Likewise, elections were due later in 1985 and had DP, the Okellos, Museveni
and Besigye not opted for a cowardly military short cut, Obote would unlikely
have served beyond 1990, as UPC was widely expected to win those elections.
Even then, when Obote returned in 1980, despite the indisputable fact that he
was the brain and power behind the defeat of Amins regime, he made it very
public that he would claim no office in UPC or in Uganda on his return. He
insisted that UPC would have to re-elect him, if they so wished. And they did.
And UPC would have to present itself to the people of Uganda and get
re-elected, and Ugandans did. Typically, Museveni and Besigye had other ideas
and benchmarks for Ugandas political traditions.
Obsession with Obote should be left to Museveni and his imperialist handlers,
not sensible Ugandans who claim opportunity to renew our country. The man did
his best in 12 years and two administrations. The monuments shall prevail for a
few more generations to come. In Museveni and Besigyes case, we have not yet
started archaeological work in Luwero alone, before the trips to northern,
eastern and western Uganda. Then Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and parts of the Sudan.
Most of these took place while Besigye was still a serving officer of NRA.
Picking and choosing standards is no way to rebuild Uganda. The NRA narrative
that there was no Uganda before 1986 is dangerous, discredited and harms our
efforts for a genuine national truth and reconciliation for which both Museveni
and Besigye are lukewarm respondents.
A recycled NRM is no pacemaker for Uganda; Besigye meets no criteria for
setting Ugandas political benchmarks. The future of Uganda lies in the
visionary hands of the millions of fresh, untainted and progressively youthful
citizens. Reliable, consistent and nationalist men and women of integrity and
probity. Nationalists who will provide genuine leadership, not opportunists who
would break up the republic through their shadow cabinets if that is what it
takes to reach State House. In building for the future, a new, revamped and
tested UPC shall always do it for God, and my country.
