Otunnu is simply out of touch with the common Ugandan. My brother who is praising Olara Otunnu, am sorry to say that much as Otunnu served in Uganda's government, his knowledge of Uganda is slightly better than that of a newly born.
Otunnu is simply out of touch and at least from my discourse with corporate friends, I realise that he has even failed to win over this section of society that would automatically fall in his target basing on his cv. Otunnu is not a politician, he could serve better as a PRO of some apolitical organisation. Ofcourse, the Baganda who continue to demonise UPC are the self-seeking politicians hiding in Mengo. Any sane Muganda who remembers the questions Miria Obote asked in 2005 following the death of Apollo Milton Obote; She asked what they would do if they were Obote and they were confronted by a Kabaka who was even a SOLDIER?? and no one has ever answered him. Eversince Binaisa came back to Uganda, he has never hidden the fact that as Attorney General, he advised Obote to attack Mengo and he(Binaisa) went ahead to draft the pigeonhole constitution overnight. With all these events, I would therefore find it foolhardy for any Muganda to accuse UPC of wrongdoing. Mind you, Obote was the Chief Executive of the country then and he could not risk the slightest error of judgement. What Obote did is what any CEO does and that is exactly what Museveni has continued to do. Museveni as CEO and CIC(Commander in chief) could not wait to get clearance from Mengo in order to visit Kasubi! People seem not to understand what it means to be President, that is why the Government of George Bush wielded so much power that it disregarded the UN security council advice and attacked Iraq! Olara Otunnu has personal hatred for the person of Museveni and this stems from the way Museveni outsmarted the Okellos(of which Olara Otunnu was chief negotiator) in the Nairobi Talks of 1985. When they Okellos and of course Olara Otunnu came back to Kampala, they announced that they 'had de-fanged the snake in Museveni' and they had finally struck a DEAL. The shrewd politician in Museveni came to the fore because as he engaged them in talks in Nairobi, Saleh and the troops were plotting the final assault in Kampala. This is the history of the mistrust Olara Otunnu has for Museveni, it is understandable, but Olara needs to understand that Politics is not for the morally upright, that is why himself while serving as UN ambassador, did not hesitate to take on Foreign Affairs Ministerial post in an illegitimate and accidental Government of the Okellos! My friend Olara Otunnu must also wake up and understand the demographics of Uganda today. Many of the voters in 2011 are Museveni kids and awakening the ghosts of Luweero will not help. Many of us who are orphans and in this generation of the class of 80's have lost Parents to HIV/AIDS, accidents, cholera, Ebola and others more than to WAR! This message is not resonating well with minds of this class. If Otunnu was brilliant, he would have first sat back and understand Uganda for 5 years while raising his political profile, and then he would seek to join politics, but since he has chosen to go full throttle this time, then he is in for a beating and it shall be a lesson for others of his ilk.
