It is not possible to conceal a blunder for so long. The NRM thought that it would go many miles covered as it kept on deceiving Ugandans and the international community over developments including a very vibrant economy. Many did not know that NRM was leaving on deceit and continued to survive, unfortunately, whoever thought that some of us who have kept criticizing the regime are just opportunists.
It is a fact that we now have loading shedding on a daily basis. If you are not power load shedded during the day, then you are a sure victim at night. Many of us thought that load shedding had come to pass, but it is very disappointing to see what is going on, and one can imagine its implication to the whole economy. People have been stealing whatever they can get their hands on under the cover of supporting the NRM, and today, they are champions buying all the cement and building materials you can think of. They are buying land left and right from the impoverished Baganda, and those Baganda who are not smart enough to buy cheaper land where it exists are surely likely to be the paupers of tomorrow, that is the NRM which has so many well qualified people with most senior positions having people with Masters degrees, but the economy a real mess!
In the mean time, NRM should learn from the facts. If you are told that the life span for a head of state to be useful is 10 years, whatever your ambitions, even when you are the best visionary, just know that the law of diminishing returns eventually catches up with you and, definitely, what we are experiencing in Uganda is good testimony of the truth.
