I was in Kololo this afternoon, meeting with NRM party flag bearers and chairpersons from the five divisions of Kampala. My appeal to them is to stop using money in politics. It is a colossal mistake, counterproductive and unnecessary. It will be good if the people listen to what these leaders are proposing and elect them. If they are not elected, they should move on, do other activities, and remain financially stable. They will come back to you if you consistently convey the message of the NRM. For all my 63 years in Uganda's politics, I have never sold my cows to facilitate elections. Politics is about diagnosis and prescription. You're like a doctor who checks for the disease, prescribes the medicine, and later, the doctor is paid—the sick pay the doctor, not the other way around. Therefore, I call upon the leaders to promote government programs and promote politics of unity among Ugandans to create a common market for goods.
