Hon. Members of Uganda`s 10th August House (parliament), I personally sympathize with your lately expressed serious fears to the effect that you are targets of criminals (in the line of fire), prompting the Head of State, Commander-in-Chief of Uganda’s Armed Forces and President of Uganda to rapidly write to his Finance Minister, Matia Kasaija instructing the latter to hunt for and find money by all means with which to procure Anti-Personnel Carriers (APCs) for the defence of you, the peoples` representatives and manned by Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces snipers or call them sharp shooters.
Hon. Members, you have made your security concerns known to the president and yes money can be found to determine your security and protection but to us the general Ugandan population (voters) there remain glaring gaps in your whole presentation which reminds me of one of my old European Mountain Gorillas trackers who in 1998 made a Joke to me at Kabale`s White horse Inn hotel that in Africa when you find an old man eating chicken, you know that he is sick or it was the chicken that was sick:-.
Members, you have indicated that your lives are in danger especially after the ruthless and cruel murder of the late Ibrahim Abiriga then Member of Parliament for Arua Municipality on the 8th day of June 2018 but you don’t.
Show the country and more particularly your constituents (voters) on who your enemy (ies) is.
You should remember that relevant commanders will not just deploy around you members. They will need at least a basic deployment abstract to guide their charges (troops if you want) which the snipers will constantly look out for in the course of their guard duties. The commander(s) will want answers to the following questions as shown here below:-
Who is the potential enemy?, is he/she covert or overt?, what could be the enemy`s motive? And is the enemy local, national, regional or global?
Even recently His Excellency the President YK Museveni rebranded some of you as new heroes, if we the old heroes are still darlings in the community for now over 30 years why must new heroes be in this indescribable danger?
Have these threats got anything to do with erratic legislation especially regarding the controversial, “smuggled” money and social media (OTT) tax bill that has proved infringing on the social, economic wellbeing of the same people you were called to defend? Are you, your own worst enemies, for if the shepherd limps, the flock shall definitely not reach the pasture?
