Mr President, much as you have registered multiple successes in implementing the 10-Point Programme over the years, there are some perennial failures that you need to urgently address for the greater benefit for our beloved country. Despite the fact that you deserve credit for successes in security, energy, and tourism, you deserve condemnation in equal measure for the failures in service delivery and abating corruption. This because the buck stops with you as the head of government.
Although 69 per cent of the citizenry believes that the fight against corruption has been your regime’s biggest failure, under your leadership as outlined in the 2019 Global Corruption Barometer Africa (2019) report, I still believe there is time for you to salvage this country from the vice that has eroded our moral societal fabric.

Talking to former State Minister of Internal Affairs Sarah Kiyingi, you notice that she regrets ever venturing into politics.
When she returned from the Netherlands in 1995, after living there for more than four years, running for political office was the last thing on her mind. Her plan was to join the academia as an assistant lecturer at Makerere University.
But, she says, people from her home area of Rakai persuaded her to contest for a parliamentary seat.

Disgruntled, bitter, angry. This is how many have described former Ethics and Integrity Minister Miria Matembe’s feelings towards President Museveni’s government.
The former Mbarara Woman MP, who served in the same government for more than a decade, withdrew from elective politics in 2006 after a bitter fallout with Mr Museveni in 2003 over the removal of presidential term limits from the Constitution.
It is, however, possible for one to forget that the former minister retired from active politics almost 15 years ago, because of constant criticism of her former boss and the government he presides over.
