REVEALED ;WHY Uganda MPs found Uhuru SPEECH SPECUTALARLY HORRIBLE AND HECKLED HIM

Uhuru Speech to Uganda parliament has been termed as the most horrible in recent past by ahead of state of a democratic country.

Uganda, a country that is in a firm grip of dictator Yoweri Museveni is preparing for a general election and looking for a moral support from big brother Kenya to help foster democracy and freedom of speech, its on this back drop that many members of parliament found H.E Uhuru Kenyatta’s speeching underwhelming to say the least.

By Museven playing “Kanu yajenga nchi” for Uhuru, the stage had been set for a boring speech. Museveni seem to understand that all these TNA, URP, Amani are all Kanu parties, ideologically rooted in Kenya’s dark past.

Back to Uhuru, after gobbling up half a billion in the Ugandan trip, he delivered a spectacularly horrible speech, that’s devoid of substance, other than deepening the Mugabeisque narrative of “liberation dictatorship”.
Its the narrative that says, the only way to ensure national unity is to sit on the people, deny them freedoms, all in the name of fostering self rule. It’s a narrative that creates a phoney nationalistic aura, by invoking colonialism and slavery. That even though the citizens rights and democracy are undermined, Ugandans and Kenyans should rejoice because the African despot rooted out the colonialists. That even as we complain of dictatorship, any system is better than colonialism, and so we should shut up.
Colonialism and slavery is part of our heritage, but Uhuru should have used those lines to proclaim more urgent and pertinent issues, like the expansion of freedom and democratic space.
The African is hungrier, thirstier and less free than he was during the colonial era. The African governments are more corrupt and in worse economic states than they were in the colonial era. What we sought as Africans was greater freedoms, but what we got was the subjugation of a people, whites- whites went, and black- whites took over, and yes, Kenya and Uganda are Museveni and Kenyatta colonies, where they rule with an iron fist.
They can work together in denying asylum to opposition activists, running away from their respective brutal regimes in Kenya and Uganda. I can bet you this will be on the table. Uhuru will especially come in handy.with a first congratulatory message should Museveni rig himself back to another legal term. These 2 countries may work together in the surveillance and monitoring of opposition activists. Spectacular failure.
