How can a sitting African President loose an election when he can use the military, the police and thugs to intimidate the opponents? It is unafrican.Next thing he will do is to blame white people.

Slothful brain old leaders are the reason Africans are stuck behind decades after decades.

The NRM will lose provided the opposition does not let it rig the elections. Like now instead of insisting that the elections be about what Museveni has done or has not done for Uganda for the last 22 years, soon to be a quarter a century, the opposition is wasting time being self absorbed with internecine fights. The elections are about a referundum on NRM and its patron king Museveni. Is the country better off now than it was or it could be ? It is not enough to say Ugandans can sleep now. For example the Luwero residents can sleep now, as Museveni claims he brought them sleep, but by the time they wake up they might find themselves lying landless and homeless on the streets of Kampala. Sleep but don't sleep like the legendary Don Quixote who slept for twenty years, and by the time he woke up the world had moved on and he couldn't recognize anyone or make sense of what was going on just as nobody could tell who he was. Or similarly the colonised Africans who closed their eyes in prayer while the European colonialists took their resources. NRM should not be allowed to use the state institutions as if they belong to it. The army, the police, the courts, the central bank, the civil service, the airs waves, and the parastatals all belong to the taxpayers, the people and the state of Uganda. NRM has only its patron president and his group employees, the ministers and the aides; and resources from Libiya's Gadaffi. That is it. As long NRM is not allowed to grab and monopolise these national resources, which are paid for and bankrolled by the sweat and blood of all Ugandans, they are going to lose the elections because for several decades they have failed to deliver. It should be criminal for any sitting party to arrogate itself the state resources and coffers for its political campaigns and survival to entrench itself in power for ever even when, as in this instance, its performance is unacceptable. Stealing and usurping state resources for partisan political purposes is where real rigging takes or is taking place. The opposition should keep focus on NRM and its sordid record.
