Where on earth have our leaders gone?

Leadership is devotion and a calling from God coupled with the will of the people. It is upon this background that every after five years we have general elections in Uganda. The last general election was conducted in 2011 where an incumbent president was reelected into office. In the same year Mps were elected to represent the masses in the August house, other stake holders in KCCA and leaders in various capacities were elected into office. It was through adult suffrage that we gave you our mandate, the will of the people decided and you were elected to lead us. However two and a half years into office there is little progress being seen as you had promised to lead us to the Promised Land. We are disappointed in you our leaders because you have vanished; you have diverted from representing the masses and often engaged in running battles between the opposition and ruling government. Kampala the capital of Uganda has now been turned into a battle field where lines between police and opposition have been drawn. The whole city is in a mess as what was a peaceful city has now been turned chaotic. We have been teargased, wrongfully arrested, killed and our businesses have stalled because of your chicks politics. Remember that the masses are watching and 2016 is not fur from now when you will be made to account to the masses through the same process that brought you into office. We did not elect you to fight one another but rather ensure that there is proper and efficient service delivery to the masses. But rather these have stalled due to cheap politics, corruption, misappropriation and mismanagement of funds. The burden has in the long run been brought back to the masses through heavy taxes. It is important to note that you are the cause of our suffering. Why dont you borrow a leaf from fellow leaders like in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda? The rate at which these countries are developing is amazing, the trick is one the maturity of politics displayed in these countries is appealing. Contemporary leaders like Bill Clinton of the USA lead at a time when he was experiencing a lot of political pressure from his opponents but he did not draw battle lines but rather held the situation maturely to transform the country. We pray that the opposition and NRM reform for posterity and transformation of this country. For God and My Country.
