OPINION- We could talk about the NRM 10 points in summary but evenif we do so the whole thing remains the same.
Firstly, poverty is still dominating in most parts of the country and most Ugandans even fail to get just one meal in a single day. Some try to work hard through agriculture the living cost is expensive and they end up empty handed after incurring daily costs.
Forexample, we have been in a coffee season but many parents have even failed to raise school fees to take back their children to schools even after selling coffee because the cost of living is high in a 3rd class country. On this point, if NRM cannot help a Ugandan on the cost of living by reducing taxes we still have a big problem.
Secondly, Corruption and bribery have become the bird’s song in the ears of Ugandans. Let me tell you the most problem why service delivery is still poor is because of corruption because sometimes money comes and is swindled by our fellows who are in power at levels and a voter will not know that until we come out and ask for accountability from those responsible.
As if corruption is not enough to let a Ugandan down, lets have a look at bribery. This one has caused most danger to Uganda because our people have gone to school and acquired education but those with poor background have failed to get jobs because jobs are exchanged for money. In the end, most educated youths get stressed after failing to get jobs and end up turning into criminials, they started using toxic drugs and some have even ended their lives due to stress.
You cannot rule out nepotism that has dominated the country and violation of human rights like blocking the opposition from transversing the country freely, imprisoning them and even some have been murdered mysterically. I think as Ugandans we need to work together and make our country the best place to live in. “One people one Uganda”.
