OPEN LETTER TO MUSEVENI-- From Kanungu.
Ladies and gentlemen, I will address Mr. Museven as His Excellency because he is the president of this country, other than that, “Their Excellences” honor their words, they are genuine, they have a sense of direction, and do not forget easily something that Kanungu people, and even many more Ugandans are still waiting for. I am scribing this information for you to digest about the dishonesty you have exhibited in the last 30years of your NRM rule.Let me veritably assert that there is no unpropitious agenda in this idea, there are only drops of blood oozingfrom our dear hearts to the most inner conscience of ourselves. There is no doubt that we have been either lied to intentionally or ignored with absolute impunity or dealt with somebody who appreciates less.Your Excellency, how many times have you vocalized that Rukungiri-Kanungu road is going to be tarmacked? Gallant Ugandans, we all know that the president is never the minister of transport; neither is he the UNRA boss. He is also not any official specialized in works and such field as far as construction of roads is concerned. However we are all aware of his role in construction of such infrastructure.On many occasions therefore, he has travelled to kanungu, those who are older than me tell me in legends that you have trekked there since you captured power by use of ruheekuura bazeire - the gun.What is more worrying, annoying and appalling to the apex is the shadow naked promise of having that road constructed. Your Excellency, do you still remember thecircumstances that led to the construction of Ntungamo-Rukungiri road? Wasn’t it the same reason for the abolition of graduated tax? Our point is that you should not construct the road as a way of campaigning but rather as the noble responsibility of the governmentto its honorable citizens.The beautiful scenery of Rutenga hills, the melodic view of the Great Bwindi National park- the home of powerful Gorillas, the hard labored for tea plantations and a number of Tea factories, the amazing coffee harvest, the flowing sacks of rice, the Great Lakes Regional University, and a cascade of other untellable ventures all justify the transport need.Fellow Ugandans, Kanungu town is 403kms away from kampala. This means it can take only 5hours and 30minutes for a vehicle travelling at 80km/hr to reach kanungu town. In December 2012, I boarded I bus together with other Kanungu faithful from Kisenyi bus park at 7:30pm expecting to reach kanungu at 2:00am ifthe bus travelled at the earlier stated speed. It was on that night that I challenged people who only sheepishly say that you brought peace to prove that that peace wasnot a tool to tear our beloved country into pieces. I reached home on the next day at 2pm burying my shame for failing to keep time for a given appointment. Idon’t know whether the people I left at Katabushera hill reached to their respective dear homes.After promising us 1000times, putting the road in the budget 10,000times, and involving in topsy-turvy ululations, the only gift you have given to us is to always take selfish, myopic, moronic, cretinous and pig-appetite local leaders and extend a hand of treachery through brown envelopes at places of Rwakitura, state House, Kyankwanzi, to mention but a few. I don’t know how much has been so for given to individuals who come to those places on buses dancing Kalipso negotiating the enengo rough corners and through the unprecedented potholes. What am sure of is that that money is more than much billions of Uganda’s tax payer’s blood-sweated tax.What then is the use of the theory of Musevenism to a Kanunguan?Do you say infrastructure development is a privilege nota responsibility?We are actually not saying that give us a road and we give you votes, not that. If that was the case, then even toilet paths in Kanungu would be tarmac because you have always won there.It is high time you honor you words and be genuine because it is shameful to conclude the same way I started.I therefore energetically call upon all Ugandans, Kanunguans, brothers and sisters to always reject, refuse and rebuff all kinds of exploitation in any way of living as refugees in our own Pearl of Africa.Remember the slogan NO ROAD, NO VOTE. Why not? Let’s take it. If a person pays you in a given currency, pay back in the same currency.I LOVE UGANDA, My country.JOHN VIANNY(President MAPSA)
