Dear reader. I am sure there is no party without challenges and these challenges are very healthy for the party to grow. When you identify a challenge, you look for the solution and move on. And a party without challenges is not a party but a Cult.
Even in our homes, there are disagreements but disagreements can not compel the father to run away from the family/ home. NRM is our family and one can not run away due to challenges but instead joins the Frontline and fights the challenges.
Today, I stand on the Frontline by outlining these six challenges in our party system for proper medicine as we look forward to elections.
1. Lack of appreciation: NRM is the party that loves enemies more than allies / friends! Those who oppose, abuse and insult the president and NRM are given special care and treatment and they get jobs in a blink of an eye while the committed cadres of NRM like me continue rotting in poverty even when they have better qualifications and constructive/ enterprising ideas! No young man of a sober and sound mind like me can continue supporting such a system!!!
2. Corruption, Greed, Malice, Arrogance and Mafiasm: Apart from a few top managers of NRM, all the rest are tainted with the above negative vices. NRM has proved to be more of liability instead of an asset to its members and Uganda in general. The situation worsens during party primaries and general elections.
3. Failure to facilitate Cadre Identification, Mentorship and Placement Process: Any serious political party must have a clear agenda for its upcoming cadres but for NRM, it is like a Jungle where the law of SURVIVAL FOR THE FITTEST applies.
.
.4. Air or unfulfilled promises to the nation: Whenever the country goes to elections, our National chairman promises to do various activities and projects for the people but after elections, little or nothing is accounted for. This gives us, mobilizers hard time to convince electorates to vote NRM again, And in the process, we appear to be liars and idiots before innocent voters.
5. Inaccessibility to the president and other NRM big men and women: It is becoming too hard for us to meet the President and other big men and women in NRM government not that they are too busy but because of the statehouse and other Government Handlers’ attitude towards we from poor backgrounds!
6. Brutality and lawlessness by some security Personnel: The behavior of some security officers gives NRM system a very bad image to the extent that people have now started comparing the NRM government to that of Idi Amin Dada. Confronting opposition gives them sympathy votes.
In my conclusion therefore, let’s maintain discipline as we look forward to elections.
For God and my country
