One frowns upon attitudes of some NRM leaders in northern Uganda.
Their most sustained campaign slogan is that electing them allows for services to trickle down to the people faster because they are close to President Museveni.
If proximity to Mr Museveni gives an MP leverage to lobby for development, then the inequities and dysfunctions in our systems are distressing.
Development should not be a matter of tokenism.
Lobbying for development is problematic in all its facets and begging Mr Museveni for development is not a sign that our future can be secured. Mr Museveni now faces increased rejection among voters over underdevelopment and as such he must apply force even to the presidency.
