Re: {UAH} KCC TRIBUNAL IMPLICATES LORD MAYOR LUKWAGO///

JN,



Who do you blame here, a dysfunctional system or two individuals who

can't work together? I rather think they can't work together because

the system will not allow that to happen. Museveni is caught in a

trap, whether to allow local democracy to work-ie allowing people of

Kampala to elect their own Mayor with executive powers, or resort to

chicanery in order to appease the people, which is what he has done.



The problem knocks on the doors of parlaiment as well. Why did they

enact the KCCA Act which is at best, confusing in its distribution of

power and authority. The reality is that Museveni knew his militia

army the NRA would not win elections in Kampala city, in the previous

term, the DP had won, so he changed the law so that the actual

governance of Kampala remained with him, through his Minister for

Kampala, and not the elected mayor.



If you want to blame Lukwago, then blame him for taking on a role that

he knew before hand has no executive athority. But I suspect that he

knew all these, and wants to use the post as a political platform of

opposition, a role he has played admirably well, I must say.

Single-handedly, he is a more potent elected opposition leader than

the so-called official opposition in parliament. The people obviously

are the victims because of the impasse at city hall, but I am sure

that is the price they should be willing to pay, if they want the

dictator and his goons like Jeniffer Musisi removed from Uganda's

public life.
