So lovely how they congratulate each other as comrades!
The problem of Africa are _that over stay in power
What the subject of "term limits" is really addressing is:'By what method/s are the People to govern themselves, their nation and manage local/national affairs effectively and efficiently??So is political consciousness promoted educationally or are the People kept as ignorant as possible. Constitutional means should be available for the People to legally remove/replace elected representatives peacefully ==Constitution construct is of paramount importance for People Power/Government of,by,&for the People....
Time limit will put you in check it will make you think and do the right thing that's why all the dictators are fighting it they are not really ready for accountability
While terms limits are not as important as grooming an adequate chain of succession, the most critical problem facing the African Economy has been creating a coalescence of economic partners to structure sustained development throughout the continent. With abundant labor and natural resources, the only limits are implementing goal setting strategies that everyone can benefit from successfully. What are Africans' goals for the new millennium?
Alpha Strategy Group, well articulated
what does Amama imply when he chooses not to talk about his former boss(M7)?
Terms should come with agendas/contracts to achieve and the "science of civilization/governance" should be school curriculum == enlightened, participating population....
Doh...of course what we need is good governance. The problem is we’re not getting that. How do we get that, is the question. Term limits? I don’t know.
ethics and inter gritty should be part of their character among all African leaders
uganda's president M7 is making 30 next year. He's running for an 5th term
Kingdoms stay for life in power, so why can´t Good performing public leader would not be able to do the same. These democratic processes are some of the tricks the royal families of the world and the rich uses, organizations like CFR, UN, WHO, and more to destabilize developing countries. African countries must take proper export and import measure to understand how international financial brutality affect the mentality of the population.
NARQUA SYSTEM BOSSMOND MEDIA monarchies are different from republics that should be democratic
@@celebratedwoman8905 bUT THEY RULE OVER SUCH BUNCH.
@@celebratedwoman8905 They are human, or? And they make mistakes as well.
there is no difference between the former boss and Mbabazi because Mbabazi helped to set up the curent sytem
Politics is a dirty game and in a game you can't always be a winner day comes when you loose....question is why has m7 turned into a dictator ? And is what he doing really democratic ? Since when is it democracy when you constantly jailing and intimidating opposition parties ? The police is also an army for him to degrade opposing parties and undermine human rights and press rights he has used tear gas more than the apethied regimes in south Africa . He has oppressed the entire country there is more crime now than the previous governments . The police still stay in tin houses left by idi amin .what you might call growth is just heavy pockets of the yahoo's around him he is present day gadaffi .he has and will still be a dictator he was a good leader before but now he has become anything but a true politician he is just a dictator and robbing poor Ugandans and soon or letter it's going to be a m7 monarchy . .....but remember everything has a beginning and an end . ....he won't stay in power for another 20 yrs.his son or his brother are already in line to grab the seat
Amama is already having conflict of interests in his first take he says he's a proponent of no term limits and in the later stages he says when you have term limits it levels the playing field. He still can't address Museveni's atrocities.
Oli mubbi MWe mubye Uganda
me idon't know what went wrong with Africa. ..really. ..
the white man arrived.
The whiteman arrived on other lands too. But other civilizations, especially the Whiteman, have militated against the AFRICANS. The reasons are not obvious to the unconscious mind. There are dictators all over the world, there are tyrants everywhere, but the excesses of an African president rubs a raw nerve.
