M7's One Man rule Renaissance in Uganda!

In the twenty five years or so since president Museveni has been in power, India, a post colonial democracy just like Uganda that has no term limits, has had 8 changes in leadership. The United Kingdom, our colonial masters, has had five changes in leadership during the same period. Why do we tolorate over extended one man rule in Uganda? Diversity in leadership is critically essential for a dynamic democracy. The only way to achieve it in Uganda is by all opposition parties putting their parochial interests aside and coalescing with a common agenda to gain a majority in parliament and systematically ending this scourge on our democracy!

The obsequious legacy of one man rule!

The unambiguous, legacies of despotism vs democracy is servitude vs liberty. Citizens under democracies are more creative, innovative & live up to their fullest potential simply because of the abundance and unrestricted nature of their liberties! Citizens under despotism ( including hybrid regimes, like M7's Uganda ) tend to be more servile, fawningly following one leader & never reaping the potential synergies of their diversity simply because of the stifling arbitrary limitations on their liberty. The fundamental question for Uganda's future is: Do we obsequiously keep following M7's anachronistic one man rule model? Or do we cut a new dynamic path of diversity in leadership that will unleash the fullest potential of our country? The opposition needs to collectively instill and use this narrative to their advantage!
