I look for patterns and not mind dizzy, flirtatious moments. So here’s an emerging one I’m closely following: the arrests of Ugandan army generals. From where I sit, I haven’t seen a conclusive judicial process follow the grave allegations and arrests of Ugandan army generals. What is the pattern? They all end with ‘I have forgiven,’ ‘my uncle this, my father this’ social media posts. The generals are set free after a brief period of humiliating incarceration. I’m convinced it may all be a power trip - a political gimmick to distract from more egregious power machinations: a power grab.

Hallo Balaam @BalaamBarugahar , it’s me again, Dr Omona. I read your response to Hon Calvin @EchoduOfficial , Mp and @NRMOnline Vice C/man for Eastern, member of the @NRMOnline CEC . According to you , Hon Echodu , an elected leader of the people , was tribal , unpatriotic, not statesman enough and immature , to respond to the happenings in his constituency and region, huh ! May be , Balaam, you may wish to advise , who has a right to speak in Uganda and speak for the people and for themselves and how to speak. I come from the Greater #Kaberamaido, where Lt Gen ELWELU also comes from ( Anyara , Kalaki ). The people in that place got terrified by the ongoing in the National news , aware of their traumatic past , wanted assurance from their leaders about their community. What then would us , their children and leaders tell them. Did we need to seek permission from you to calm down our people so they can settle to till their land without fear ? It’s planting and exam season in this our place right now. Why do you want to smear such a foul lebel as tribalism on a leader who is just calling for calm and giving assurance to his people ? The last time I checked your were a great promoter of tribal chauvinism, have you finally come to our side ?😅😅😅😅😅. I hope we haven’t abandoned our mass line ideology that shaped many of us. WHAT IS PATRIOTISM WITHOUT THE PEOPLE, Bure ! We of the region , are more interested in National security more than you may be even , we bear very many scars of insurgencies and we don’t desire any more . That’s why we find Hon Echodu’s statement neutral , mature , Patriotic and civil and peaceful and re assuring- that’s leadership and therefore don’t need your permission from you , atleast not in our villages to speak for them. We have a duty to do so. This is the beauty of the NRM that we still believe in and this is what our leader Mzee @KagutaMuseveni has taught us. So ma bro Balamu, no one has the monopoly of opinion OR even wisdom and to speak , it’s what we fought for , you remember? Hii ni sirikali ya wananchi. Finally, let me summarize for you what Hon Echodu called for : calm in the region, speedy and transparent inquiry into the Gen ELWELU alleged subversive activities and caution against inflammatory statements. Are these unwise according to you ! Greetings from Kaberamaido city. Cheers.
