Twenty-eight minutes of absolute Runyankole eloquence.

Credit where it’s due Odrek has evolved remarkably over time. He delivered his message with composure, clarity, and calm conviction.

I genuinely hope he and Hon. @DaudiKabanda can work through their differences for the greater good.

One day a woman called me from State House Entebbe. Euphonious voice with a touch of western accent, I will give it that. Smooth and deliberate, the voice of someone trained to deliver difficult propositions without sounding like they are delivering difficult propositions.

Mzee would like you to return to Uganda, she said.

Which Mzee, I asked. There are many old men in Uganda. I added.

Museveni, she said.

On what deal do I talk to despots, I asked.

You will be protected, she said. And given a great job.

I sat with that for a moment. Protected. A job. In Uganda, the only people who enjoy genuine protection are those of despot Museveni's bloodline. They move through the country like weather: untouchable, unavoidable, arriving and departing without consequence. I am not of his bloodline. I told her this. I told her I was not interested. I also told her that if I ever decided to return to Uganda I would not be requiring anyone's permission. I can return any time I want. That is what a passport is for although I have none.

The following week she called back. She had reported our entire conversation to Mzee, she said. He had listened carefully. He was sending my passport, she said, together with a package to facilitate my return. We would then sit down and discuss my security and resettlement.

Protect me against whom, I asked.

Anyone who would want to hurt you when you come back, she said.

I thought about this. The only people who have ever wanted to hurt me in Uganda are the people who have already hurt me: tortured me, imprisoned me three times, and driven me into exile. Those same people now wanted me to come back so they could protect me from themselves.

You must think I am an idiot, I said.

But Mzee wants to solve that problem, she said. You are being elusive like a piglet that has bathed in oil.

I appreciated the imagery. It was the most honest thing said in either conversation. I immediately remembered the oiled piglets they used in demonstrations at parliament.

I told her the only arrangement under which I could feel genuinely protected in Uganda was if I were to marry and balloon one of Museveni's daughters. Then I would have skin in the game, so to speak. Some structural guarantee. Family dinners as a deterrent. Unfortunately, I said, he has no young single daughters available. And in any case I have no interest in placing my sperm in the ovaries of dumb people.

Tututututut, she hang up the phone.

She was Whatsap-calling from a UK number: [phone]. I noted it down. You never know when a number becomes evidence. I later investigated and they told me it is Natasha Karugire-Museveni's secret number.

[WHAT'S DOWN @whatsdownUg]

Dear Gen @mkainerugaba sir,
In this Viral video now circulating online, the Minster of LG Hon. Balaam takes Feedback from the PUBLIC on how Senior RDCS blackmail and harass their Assistants (most are @Plumedia1 ) who actually attempt to do the Real patriotic work on Ground and fight corruption.

I Always remember, ,,,ALL Good works will REVEAL themselves with TIME , and so Must all inequities, evil and Justices against Man.

Those RDCs who maliciously COOK and forment Bad faith against Gen Museveni's most vital future players, demoralize, carelessly cause the Transfer of and Penalize ARDCS without even fully Investigating and thus cause them Misery simply because one has the Power to today? Busy tactfully in a coodinated criminal way 'Dirtening' their Files with cheap lies ,,,Hoping that can avert their rise and causing them financial misery for NO fair and just reason whatsoever,, only to Counter your own fear of the great evil that you have become yourself ,,,, lakini
