What you need to know:
- A political party should go for elections as a party, not as a platform for a presidential candidate.
- The main purpose of Parliament should be to create an environment where the Executive delivers services to the population. And we don’t need 1,000 MPs to do that.
I have watched an audio-visual clip in which a former junior minister from northern Uganda insinuates that the long-awaited transition from Mr Museveni’s presidency has begun.
If the transition is already upon us, as the former minister suggests, then it had better come with some novel ideas on the matter of the political and administrative management of the country. Do you remember the novelty of NRM’s Resistance Councils in 1986?
