The danger of critical thinking is that we go into discussions when we have
nothing to lose. We get the marbles and put them on the table and question what
happens next. We told Paul Kawanga Ssemwogerere that Nairobi peace talks was to
allow Museveni to regroup, and the moment he regroups they were all going to be
expendable. How did we get that information? For again as critical thinkers we
looked at the Tito Okello government with all Ssemwogerere’ s and Olara Otunnu
and they were not wanted. Ssemwogerere neglected us and pushed what he naively
saw in his face. To today Museveni is in power and Ssemwogerere is on Mpa
Akataaba !!!!!!!
Forget what the WBKs are preaching and simply put Federalism in Uganda, if you
will be very lucky you will end up with a very chipped Mengo or it will be shut
down completely, a very reason in the discussion about federalism there is one
question WBKs never respond to, what will be the relationship of Mengo and
whoever leads the state of Buganda? Mengo and the leader of the state of
Buganda, who will be the boss of the other? It is a tough question for it
crosses the bars not supposed to be crossed. That is why as critical thinkers
go back to the drawing board and all we have are marbles, and we can throw in
any marble into a federated Uganda, and it does not matter how you plug them
into a computer you come with only one answer, the moment Federalism walks in
Mengo will start a slow death.
And I will come back with an I told you so.

EM,
Clarify you reserve point on federalism in relation to kingdoms.
Sounds a little bit far fetched, and not wholly meaningful!!!

Any person pleading to change Uganda to a federal state is anti-Kingdom, for
putting Federalism in Uganda will kill The kingdom automatically. Be very
careful with these terms as they get thrown around.

Robukui,
If Federalism is granted to Buganda, they force the Uganda government to move
its capital out of Kampala, and other district like Bunyoro will demand
federalism too. At this point, federalism is not beneficial to the country as
whole and will not add value to Uganda. However, let us finish constructing
Karamu City before we could grant you Federalism to Buganda but not now.

Why does the Political Class continue to sabotage any effort to allow Ugandans

The painful truth NRA becomes a small regional Party under Federalism, they
have to burnout first.
The current Ugandan political space is calling out for an Independent Candidate
or new Party with A strong inclination for Economical Innovation as opposed to
naked nepotism and partisanship.

I very strongly agree with you on this!
In the Uganda of today when we are aspiring towards total rehabilitation of the
country and its peoples in everything, federalism is the only solution!
It will promote incentive to think and work better and it will mobilize at
grassroots!
It will find enviable solutions for the desparate youth and it will push the
rural!
It will promote more unity thanks to self-confidence and mutual national trust
in one another.
And it will safeguard everything necessary for the freedom of national mind
Federalism isn't tribalism and has got respected eminent people supporting its
creation.
Federalism is a solution and not an obstacle to anything patriotic!

I have written and spoken a lot in favor of federalism for Uganda. Some
Ugandans are still doubtful about my sincerity. I mean it and my record is
clear: When I make a promise, I fulfill it when given a chance.
I promised UDU that if elected Secretary General with responsibilities for
civic education and diplomatic networking, I would do my level best to deliver.
From reports I am receiving, I am doing pretty well.
I promised to do my best on Radio Munansi. From reports I am receiving, I am
doing pretty well.
Now, I am promising that if given a chance, I will deliver federalism to those
who want it and work out a different arrangement for those that may not want
it.
Let me make one thing very clear: Those who want federalism will not be blocked
by those who don’t want it. But everything will be discussed transparently and
in a fully participatory manner taking into consideration regional and
demographic considerations. Once negotiations are concluded the federal
responsibilities between the central government and regions (kingdoms, states,
districts etc) will be enshrined in the constitution so that one party does not
make changes without agreement from the other.
I strongly support federalism because it will achieve many objectives including
reconciling unity and diversity; balancing the various interests and empowering
Ugandans to determine their destiny; central government funds will be
distributed according to the development needs of regions; and loosen central
power over regions.
The central government will retain defense, foreign affairs, national currency
and macroeconomic responsibilities as well as some internal security aspects.
Other areas will be subject to negotiations.
We shall use a model that is suitable to Uganda conditions. I have already
spoken about federalism with specific examples from UK, Belgium and Indonesia.
I will continue to do so with examples from other countries to give us an idea
about what is happening in countries that have a federal system of governance.
I call on all Ugandans to make suggestions for consideration by the Technical
Federal Working Committee (TFWC) that was established in March 2013. The report
of the committee will be presented at a national convention at an appropriate
moment.
