BOBI WINE

Previously, Gen. Museveni blamed the problems of Kampala on elected leaders who were always from the opposition to his rule. As always, he came up with a law that took away the power of elected leaders and placed it in the hands of his hand-picked officials. He boasted that he had effectively captured the city. A decade later, things are worse. The residents of Kampala have to contend with terrible roads, sickening traffic jams, floods occasioned by poor drainage, a broken down healthcare and education infrastructure, and now the garbage crisis! A few weeks ago, dozens of our people were buried under garbage at Kiteezi. While over 30 bodies were recovered, more than 20 people are still missing, believed to be buried under the garbage. Without a feasible solution in sight, the citizens now have to contend with heaps of garbage piling up everywhere. All resulting from corruption, inefficiency, abuse of office and the blatant disregard for the common good. This is but a symptom of regime failure. Fix GOVERNANCE and you'll have things fixed.
