Comment on M7 Sends 4000 Troops To DRC by Kakuba Sultan Juma

Kakuba Sultan Juma — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:47:09 +0000

Ugandan troops participating in monitoring electoral process is a good gesture of Uganda’s foreign policy. But was the deployment of troops in DRC a request by the DRC government to Uganda? If so did our legislature approve such deployment or it was a prerogative of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces? Any my concern as a Ugandan citizen at whose cost are these troops deployed in DRC?

Comment on Police block Lukyamuzi power blackout protest by Kakuba Sultan Juma

It is unfortunate that we have a police force which cannot manage peaceful demonstration when they are planned. I believe a well trained professional police when it predicts some likely violence to occur during a peaceful demonstration they are supposed to be more vigilant to ensure that those intending to turn a peaceful demonstration into a violence one are dealt with accordingly. But not to simply acting by stopping people from from exercising their fundamental constitutional right. I believe when the police is notified, the objective is to give them ample time to get professionally ready monitor the act. This way, the force is supposed to accord the necessary environment to ensure such a planned demonstration takes place without necessarily postponing it. In fact, suppressing it is just postponing a problem. Let people enjoy their fundamental rights, that way there will less social force building among the populace that may be more like that which happened in Egypt. The more people are denied opportunity to express themselves, the more they become hostile. The police force should prove its worth by effecting guiding and monitoring the peaceful demonstration without it turning into an aura of violence for selfish interests.

Comment on 20 Best Performing MPs So Far Named by Kakuba Sultan Juma

Kakuba Sultan Juma — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:35:59 +0000

The performance of some Members of Parliament of the current 9th Parliament measure well above who and what kind of person should be in Parliament. The biggest drawback to those trying to act in the line of what their legislative job demands, are frustrated by the way Uganda’s political system is structured. In ideal political system built on presidential system demands that there should be clear defined separation of power among the three organs of government. That is, the Executive, Parliament and the Judiciary. But in a situation where members of the executive. particularly the cabinet ministers are full members of parliament, it is becomes difficult to disciplne such government officials because of the rapport they possess with their collegues in parliament. In fact, those named MPs for the exceptional performance should be hailed more because they really swim in troubled water. And simple, request to them is that should work hard and amentd the constitution to either maintain cabinet ministers as members of parliament and change the system of government to parliamentary system of government, which fuses the executive and the legislature or make cabinet miniters non-members of parliament and retain presidential system. In the former they will appearin parliament as full members of parlaiment while in the former they should be appearing to present their annual programme.to the parlaiment for consideration. This way we are going to enhance a functioning political system, which will work to minimise cases of corruption, which seem to be on increase everyday. Otherwise, we are most likely to be only making a heap of praises to good performing MPs with no tangible effect on the ordinary citizens whom these Mps represent.
