It is true I never supported the NRM / A five year Bush War. The problem with war is loss of life more so innocent beings and human suffering. I can never support such a strategy in life.
Little did I know that I was to end a victim of the NRM leadership. It really disturbs that a person goes to school he or she struggles to make it through the academic ladders. One then thinks about making his education meaningful. The strategy in my case has for the past 12 years to look for funds where there is plenty to poverty stricken Uganda to help the locals. To my dismay, I struggled just for some people in Uganda to share. Fraud is everywhere in the world, the unfortunate bit is that in my case, I am yet to see any organ of Government ready to help. A Government cannot fail to safeguard the people it is supposed to safeguard simply because people who are connected see them as entitled hence take such resources moreover having used fraudulent methods!
I have 4 different fundraising as in the attachment whose proceeds have been shared by some people. It is sad.
One of the justifications for the Bush war was the stealing of votes given what happened in the 1980 General elections where Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) stole the Democratic Party (DP) victory. The NRM has mastered the art of vote stealing and violence during the campaigns. Surely, there are no marks NRM can be given here;
Corruption in Uganda is very unfortunate. The vice is simply growing and it is if the Government endorsed it. We now have people who put up infrastructure including buildings but when the source of their money is not clear.
While Uganda is one of the poor countries, because of political patronage, the country has unrealistic numbers: The size of Parliament 529 members; a cabinet with over 80 Ministers; an Army of Presidential advisors; RDC’s to mention some. It looks like no one can convince Government to reduce the administrative budget in Uganda.
Government is busy inviting investors into the country, unfortunately, the policies in place are unfavorable to the extent that we have seen investors leave Uganda with no clear effort to address ills they face. The country is like in a drama with no clear person being in control. There are many Centres of power. Some of those are at liberty to arrest people in Uganda without clear measures followed and then have the people to un gazetted places;
Anyway, if the NRM / A is not ready to address areas where its performance is really unacceptable, it is sad.
My fundraising efforts from 2010 to 2023 where I have not been able to access a coin are listed below:

5. Namutamba Parish Local Economic Development Model.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE NAMUTAMBA PARISH WOULD BE NOW?
If only some people had not shared the monies I received in my fundraising appeals for President in 2010 and 2015, Namutamba Parish where I grew up would be a Centre of Excellence.
1. Namutamba Demonstration School would already be back to one of the leading schools in Uganda.
2. Namutamba would be popular for growing Organic food.
3. Namutamba would be getting local and foreign tourists in hundreds every week.
4. Namutamba cattle farmers would slowly be changing from having large herds to small zero grazing cattle with high returns.
5. Namutamba would be having tarmac roads linking many places.
6. Namutamba motorists would be having a reliable fuel station in the area.
7. Residents of Namutamba and its hinterland would no longer have to go to Mityana for their shopping, they would get 95% of their needs in Namutamba.
8. There would be extension agents virtually in all villages of Namutamba and organized marketing channels of the agricultural produce.
9. Namutamba Parish would boost of a Healthy Centre IV and expanding with services including: Ambulances; Surgery; Maternity; Eye-care; Dental and Primary Healthcare Services to mention some.
10. There would be at least one Demonstration Farm in each of the village of Namutamba Parish.
11. We would have a sports playground with prospects of being very competitive in Uganda.
12. We would try as much as possible to get people to work and change their wasted time in unproductive politics of parties to income generation.
13. We would by now be supporting Religious Organizations in their roles to promote morality which is the greatest problem of Uganda.
14. We would be sponsoring youth to train in vocational skills where such training is available and these would come back to Namutamba to boost the local economic development.
You cannot believe, this plan has not taken off. It is now 12 years simply because of the moral decay, impunity and love for free things by those who are connected.
Some of us have practical ideas and means to execute them, but we have people who think that they know a lot. Others use all sorts of unviable reasons to take what is due to the likes of myself.
We are poor because we have some people with primitive thinking. Those who undertake primitive accumulation of wealth.
If only God can intervene and I recover funds that were stolen by the so - called connected people, I can assure you, Namutamba Parish will turn into the Mecca of Uganda.
