Universal Primary & Secondary Free Education, were Donor Funded Initiatives!

In a bid to gain votes M7 introduced free universal education measures as campaign promises when in fact they were funded by donors in their effort to meet their development objectives regardless of the political advantage it gave the incumbent government.

The irony of universal free education is that it was disastrous in the begining because it was hastily introduced in M7's bid to gain votes, the education system was ill prepared for the immediate and massive influx of students. This resulted in well off families sending thier kids to private schools. page 188 - Museveni's Uganda Paradoxes of Power in a Hybrid Regime

Why Uganda Deserves a New Leader in 2011

One major and simple reason why the time for new leadership in Uganda is well overdue is because, no single leader, however brilliant or powerful he may be, has all the answers to solving the most intractible problems of a modern day nation.

Most successful democratic nations today achieve their success by harnessing the synergies and capacity of their diversity in leadership.

M7's continued effort to cling to power is simply anachronistic and Neopatrimonialism to the democratic needs of the future of Uganda.
