Next week, the National Resistance
Movement (NRM) will celebrate 23 years in government. The NRM revolution was
born in a moment of great hope. It is difficult for me to capture the emotional
tone of that moment. But there was great hope in most of this country on that
26th day of January 1986. That hope was captured in a promise made by incoming
President Yoweri Museveni that this is not a mere change of guards but a
fundamental change in the politics of our country.

When best option is to ignore rules
A common joke about our roads in Uganda goes like this: If
you see someone driving zigzag, then you know he is sober; and if you see
someone driving straight, they must be drunk. Why is the logic of driving
inverted? Because we have too many potholes on our roads, you drive zigzag to
avoid them. But a person high on alcohol would not recognise this problem.

Uganda should have right to invade neighbour DR Congo
The
recent Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) attack on the Lords Resistance Army
(LRA) camps in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was certainly the right
thing to do, although the assault itself was ill-timed, poorly planned and
incompetently executed. Before the assault, the Uganda government sought and
obtained a no-objection from the DRC government to enter their territory and
attack LRA camps.

Workers savings in NSSF are best served through housing
One of the key issues of 2008 was the
price at which the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) bought land belonging
to security minister, Amama Mbabazi. I strongly believe it was a good price.
Many believe it was a rip-off. If i am right, workers should be happy although
they ought to be morally outraged at how political influence was peddled to get
their money out of the Fund to buy a ministers land. If the price was inflated,
they should be extremely angry and call for action.
