Alhamdoulillah. Ce soir je dormirai le cœur léger à la cité Keur Gorgui.
Many people have been inquiring about the content of the letter I wrote and sent to President @KagutaMuseveni. Here it is. It is simple and straightforward. The letter calls for constructive dialogue. Its basic premise is the guidance given by the President in Kyankwanzi that the ultimate power to DECIDE who becomes Speaker lies with the MPs the majority of whom belong to NRM. The Central Executive Committee however has the duty to RECOMMEND candidates to the Caucus. Therefore the decision of the NRM Parliamentary Caucus will determine who becomes Speaker. Therefore the vote by the whole Parliament will only seal the Decision of the Caucus. That is why a well guided process of the Caucus is pivotal. My letter asks that I be one of those whose names should be forwarded by CEC for consideration by the Caucus.. The basis of the letter is the Cooperation between @NRMOnline and @DPSecretariat1 which the President referred to in the first five minutes of his Inaugural Address, and what I call the Spirit of 1986 under which NRM and DP worked together to rebuild Uganda. The English say “it takes two to tango.” My mother’s people say “engalo ibiri nokunaabisana.” Unfortunately the Spirit of 1986 did not evolve. It failed to break the political mold that ushered in our chaotic post independence politics. We have an opportunity to break the mold that scatters our energies. A dynamic cooperation can evolve into an alliance, a coalition and eventually a merger. Even the NRM was cast out of Yoweri Museveni’s Popular Resistance Army and Yusuf Lule’s Uganda Freedom Fighters. As Uganda moves forward we must overcome the political timidity that has kept us in molds that undermine progress. Some of us are determined to defy conventions and work for a new political template.
