The self-constructed dilemma with NRM now regarding corruption is that very few people can raise a finger against the other. Each has their own skeletons in the cupboard that they fear will be pulled out once they stand up to condemn the other. The only safe thing for them is to focus on opposition or other pet topics. They can only talk about it in safe very generic terms, but their pretences are tested by giving them a concrete case to handle to prove their commitment against corruption. Then they resort to tongues, diversion, deflection, and vagueness.

Their silence about the scandals of their people in Parliament shouldn’t surprise us. Who is left with moral authority to condemn corruption! This is the reason why those plundering are doing it with untold impunity, knowing how safe they are.

It has also become Mr Museveni’s political management style - call it Management by Distributing Skeletons (MDS). That is, letting everyone become dirty so that he has them in his palm. They are secretly investigated and their files kept, and they are made to know that their file is somewhere.

This way, they will defend his hold onto power to the last dot of their energy. Not just because they benefit from his stay, but also due to the fact that their fate is intricately tied up with his. They know that prison is just a transition away. Also, even if they disagree with him, their skeletons can’t allow them to say a thing.

They only have three choices left with them:
I) Keep quiet and eat;
II) Leave quietly and stay silent;
III) Defend corrupt colleagues

I asked a Prof friend why the British built strong infrastructure (buildings, dams, railways that still stand) even when it was clear that they were leaving. In his view, it’s not just abt hope for neocolonialism, but also because building strong things is part of their culture.

If we continue like this. This kind of comfort will become a populace discomfort, you shall have no where to drive these monsters from, you shall not sleep in those Mansions, You shall have stacks of money and it shall be of no use, it shall not save you from the everywhere Hunger and Anger you people are voluntarily mobilizing;

At this point; Given opportunity to stomach this kind of Prioritization and use of Public resources given the challenges we are facing as a country, I would rather rot in Jail.

@GovUganda can’t be asking Parliament to borrow 2.7bn to Supervise a Hospital and the same @pwatchug is spending 3.5Bn on Non Performing Officers whose emoluments were met at the time and Pensions are still running. It is total nonsense. We can’t be seeking to borrow yet carrying out nonsensical expenditures. If you people have run out of ideas or not in touch with National Challenges, Get out of these Strategic and Critical Decision taking bodies. We are choking on debts as a country and then we come to here of this kind of Expenditure. How can we tell the poor whose areas are deepening in poverty that Govt is short of resources with such extravagance?

How do we tell taxpayers that they are short of services, that is why they can’t ably have good roads with such pompous legislation that legalizes vulgarity of this kind? Why would a former speaker, without National obligation be rewarded such a car to do what? To go with to the Farm, to supervise there retirement activities? For heavens sake to do what?

Isn’t it outrageous and shameful that as we raise taxes, such meets the obligation of funding?

Shame upon you.

During my senior six vacation, a company advertised for sales jobs. I went to their offices in Wandegeya smartly dressed in my father’s tie and shirt with a letter from the chairman. I was surprised when they gave me flasks and knives to sell on the streets of Kampala …..

Ibrahim Ssemujju: I want to donate blood but I want an assurance that the 'Mabaati' thieves won't steal this blood.

Rt. Hon. @AnitahAmong: You are talking about 'Mabaati' like it has been the first thing to be stolen in this country. Many things have been stolen.

"I was speaking to one of the ministers...he was joking with me and said when he was appointed a minister, he asked HE the President: 'What is the role of a minister now that you have appointed me?' The President said: 'Do not worry, yours...they write for you a speech. Just go and deliver, but make sure you have delivered it well," Betty Amongi,Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development.

But @RebeccaKadagaUG you have been in parliament since 1989 & served as both deputy & speaker of the same for 20yrs. How can 500 iron sheets pulverise your 'achievements' if there are any? You steered removal of both term & age-limit from constitution. what else have you stolen?
