CAN WE LAWYERS IN AFRICA BE NEUTRAL IN THE POLITICS OF OUR COUNTRIES ? THE CHALLENGE IN UGANDA. "But beyond fighting for......principles, the representation of the people is useless if they do not know what they should be looking for in the elections. In this respect, the lawyer must educate the public about what they should be looking for from the political contestant. The lawyer must be a civic educator so that pageantry and propaganda do not become the basis on which political leaders are elected. The aspirations of the people cannot be delivered by show- men and story tellers. So where should the legal profession in Uganda stand today ? Uganda is where Kenya was in the 1990s. Uganda is at a crossroads. Though a general election is coming up, the challenge for Uganda is way beyond this election. Whether the incumbent wins or not, a political succession is imminent. What direction will this take Uganda ? Have the people of Uganda agreed on a common destiny ? Do they share the same aspirations ? Is anyone crafting the vision of a new Uganda, of a democratic Uganda, of free Ugandans ? This is what the lawyers in Uganda must take up if they want to be relevant to their people. The challenge of the legal profession in Uganda does not stop there. Are you educating the people on what they are entitled to from their leaders in the new Uganda ? Are you educating them on their rights and the duty of the State to respect those rights ? Have you identified the reforms that have to be carried out in the new Uganda so that the political leaders are accountable to deliver what the people are entitled to and that the State and its institutions observe the tenets of good governance ? It will be a long journey that will transcend this election and many others to come. More than thirty years from when we adopted multi-party politics and more than twenty years since we ended the KANU rule, we Kenyans are still in this struggle. It is not going to be an event. It’s a process and you must be ready for a long struggle. Therefore, the responsibility the lawyers of Uganda have to their people is humongous and it cannot be discharged until you commonly agree to stand with your people. And as you deliberate, remember when we talk about your people, we are talking about your fathers and mothers, your siblings and your children, your uncles and aunties, your childhood friends and your lovers. Do not abdicate your responsibility to them for a little personal comfort. History is very cruel to the generations of those who betray the aspirations of the people." #TheRadicalNewBar @IsaacSsemakadde @ug_lawsociety @Markspecter1
