The prospective leaders are already back in Uganda to sit in that transition
government, a very reason Tinyefunza had to fly back to be ready for the down
fall of Museveni. Do you know what frightens me a whole lot? Tinyefunza is now
protected by Acholi’s. They both claim to work for a better future Uganda and
that is exactly what you are sucking up into. There is no organization that
ever pulled everyone to a table than Moshi conference and some of us are still
paying for that stupidity to today.
I am trying to create a time to respond to Peter Simon Okurut for his praying
for me to stop being the anti-Uganda monster. Kindly read that writing when I
post it, probably tonight or tomorrow there about/of.

Abdul I could not agree more. But we need leaders to make a difference.

Great, Eric
Given the long political chaos that Uganda has gone through there is a need for
such disection of issues beyond those you listed here. Uganda cannot continue
with the present policies which are to apease a few while the rest of the
populace have no equal share of nation building and development.

The politics of exclusion and winner-take-all (zero sum-game) has not worked
well in Uganda since independence in 1962 and in many other developing
countries. Political exclusion has constrained access to economic resources and
social services by those in the opposition leading to inequalities and
consequent conflicts.
This matter of political exclusion has been taken up at the United Nations
negotiations for the post-2015 development agenda. Goal 16 of the 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for peaceful and inclusive
societies, rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms. It will form an integral part of the development agenda
from 2016 to 2030.
In Uganda there is general consensus that the politics of exclusion should be
replaced by an appropriate arrangement in the post-NRM period. The current
model also has concentrated power in the presidency and at the center at the
expense of regions which has come under severe scrutiny because it has
undermined the principles of separation of powers among the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of government and the associated checks and
balances and federalism respectively. During consultations for the 1995
constitution, the majority of Ugandans called for a federal system of
government but was excluded from the constitution.
The idea of an all inclusive transitional government as a replacement of the
politics of exclusion was discussed by Ugandans at the July 2011 Los Angeles
conference that created United Democratic Ugandans (UDU). Mubiru Musoke was
elected chairperson to cover principally constitutional matters. Eric
Kashambuzi was elected Secretary-General with mandate that included diplomatic
networking and civic education and matters related to transitional government
and proportional representation. The transitional government that has the
following proposed characteristics and functions has enjoyed considerable
support among Ugandans at home and abroad.
1. The transitional government should be inclusive of all stakeholders
including NRM so that no one is left behind;
2. It should be led by a presidential team so that each region is
represented. Currently some regions are complaining that they have been
excluded from the highest office in the land. Members of the team should be
selected on the basis of agreed upon criteria which must include impeccable
character, sufficient knowledge and experience to understand the intricacies of
domestic and international politics and economics. They must not participate in
the next elections as they would have the advantage of incumbency over other
candidates. (Following the death of Stalin of the Soviet Union, a three-person
team was appointed to run the affairs of state at that difficult moment and
subsequently replaced by Khruschev, a non-member of the team). The chair of the
team should rotate among the members;
3. During the transitional period whose duration should be based on the
tasks to be undertaken should not make major changes in the civil service
(civil service which is apolitical serves every government in power).
4. Besides the day-to-day management of state affairs, the transitional
government should strengthen the capacity of institutions. To avoid
sectarianism which has plagued the civil service, a team of public service
commissioners should be appointed with each region represented. Furthermore,
security forces should be managed by the chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff instead of one military official;
5. It should conduct a comprehensive population census to know exactly who
we are and how many not only for political but more significantly for
development purposes;
6. It should organize a national convention of all stakeholders to debate
and make recommendations about how Ugandans want to be governed.
7. The transitional government should then organize free and fair
multi-party elections.
8. To avoid protracted debate over which constitution – 1962, 1967 or 1995
– to use, the government should be governed by a charter.
We call upon all Ugandans at home and in the Diaspora to comment on these
proposals – in line with the principles of transparency, participation,
ownership and accountability.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all
Eric Kashambuzi
