The sequence is going to be very simple. A Westerner is going to throw that
government out of power, Westerners are going to start to kill each other
based on tribal differences, then the rest of you in Kampala will start to
go after all Westerners those that have thrown the government out of power
and those thrown out of power plus the Rwandese juu yake, then a civil war
will follow, going with at minimum 15 to 20 mills. Then Ugandans will start
to talk. Ssabassajja Mutebi? It will depend on the decision he makes as soon
as the Museveni government falls, if gets out of Uganda before Westerners go
after each other he will be fine. And that is a window of 24 hours only.
Save this transcript for you will need it to tick off what has been done and
what is coming next.
And we can flip the brains all we so want but the assessment is based on
facts on the ground.
Take it or leave it.

Folks:
The short and brunt interpretation of Mr. Mutekaani Katunzi's article is
this: Ugandans should let President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni rule until
death. The other interpretation and I think Abbey alluded to it before, YKM
may load it on Ugandans today but time is now his number one enemy. Can he
rule for another 28 years?. No. What about 5 or 10? May be. So for the next
5 or 10 years Mr. Mutekaani Katunzi is telling Ugandans the truth: forget
democracy during YKM's reign. May be after his time but not now. That is so
true.
And the Minister who summoned Mr. Katunzi to warn him about staying away
from YKM 's three amigos of "his power, army and family". You guessed it.
Mr. John Patrick Amama Mbabazi the former PM, the one who was closest to
YKM. Bingo.

Written by Pius Muteekani Katunzi
Democracy isnt coming home. Everybody knows it (at least everyone capable
of knowing).
But false hope has become an obstinate emotion! It is entrenched in our
psyche, disabling our rational minds.
A lot has been written about the sacking of the former Prime Minister Amama
Mbabazi and the subsequent withdrawal of military guards from his home. Many
have characterised this decision as arbitrary, undemocratic and a peep into
the dark side of the president.
There is nothing unusual that the president did. Was Mbabazi supposed to
hold the job for eternity? And were you surprised that Mbabazi had to go the
way he did? If you were, I dont think Mbabazi is surprised and that may
explain why he decided to keep quiet about that particular matter.
In 2007, while news editor of the then The Weekly Observer, I was summoned,
at about 8pm, to Postel building, which then housed the Office of the Prime
Minister. I met a senior minister and historical member of the National
Resistance Movement (NRM).
This gentleman had been misled by the state intelligence hands, that we were
preparing a salacious story about President Musevenis family and,
therefore, he wanted to advise me against publishing it. There was no story
of that kind.
When I arrived in his office, the minister asked whether I knew the closest
person to the president. I shot off a few names but he rejected them. He
sarcastically told me that he knew I knew the truth but I was playing monkey
with him. Anyway, after letting off a loud laughter, he told me the person.
As we were about to end our conversation, he reminded me that Museveni is a
good leader but he is unforgiving and ruthless when one tries to make him
uncomfortable about three things: his power, his army, and his family. Do
you notice the possessive word (his) used here!
My grandson, if you want trouble with the president, touch those three
things I have just mentioned, he counselled.
An equally cynical friend recently said that the president wouldnt care to
have a corrupt minister who turns public funds into his pocket change or
steal that oil in Bunyoro, provided he does not threaten his seat of power.
Another added that even if it was discovered that a member of his family was
threatening his power, she/he would face the same wrath! So, those around
him know their leaders dos and donts.
And those who have attempted to stretch the boundary have had a fair share
of the visionarys wrath. I am troubled by those who continually preach to
us about the need for democracy, especially those from within. Even for the
Greeks who are associated with democracy; it didnt start with all the
citizens. The election or democracy was for the free men and not the slaves.
In 2016, we will waste billions of shillings confirming a foregone
conclusion, that President Museveni will remain president of this republic.
I sincerely think we dont need presidential and parliamentary elections for
this country. And if we need them, then we need to change the way they
organised and conducted.
For instance, those who dont pay tax, those who dont have property, those
who live below the poverty line, should not be allowed to vote. They have no
stake for the moment. Unfortunately, they are the majority and you know how
the politicians love the ignorant. These categories participate in an
election to take a decision on national leaders who they cannot hold to
account.
The valve of their vote is reduced to as little as half a kilo of sugar, a
piece of soap. I recently saw a television clip of people in Karamoja
rejecting pit latrines and still urging their pregnant women not to share
latrines with the in-laws.
They just [ease themselves] anywhere. This is Uganda. And you expect such
people to have an idea why leaders should be voted for? What is their
interest in democracy? Why should someone who pays millions or billions in
taxes have the same vote like that person?
President Museveni was recently given a rousing welcome from USA by some
mobilised party faithfuls and other hired guns. What was noticeable at the
Entebbe mayors gardens, where this function was held, was that while there
was a sizeable number of the young, the elderly were also present.
Remarkably, these elderly people, who were visibly older than Museveni,
addressed him as Taata. Taata kulikayo, era ffe tukyakwagala (welcome back
father, we still love you), they said. The ordinary meaning of the word
taata is that of a man in relation to his natural children. Since some of
those who called Museveni taata were much older than him, it means the word
transcended its ordinary meaning.
It appears these elders looked at the president as the source of livelihood
and therefore, it means a lot for them for Museveni to remain in power for
purely selfish reasons. The unemployed youths were too falling over
themselves to capture the mans attention. If one asked any of those youths,
or even the ministers, to state Ugandas foreign policy or health policy, no
one would competently make an attempt.
That is our Uganda today. And we still want elections! Do we need elections
to so that we enter world records that we have regular elections to choose
our leaders, or do we participate because we think it is a legitimate way of
promoting democracy?
There is no value added by these elections. Democracy is not coming soon.
And the earlier we came to grips with this blunt reality, the better for us
all. Let President Museveni , the visionary, be.
