VERY CLOSE: Gen. Muhoozi and Mr. Balam Barugahara
OPINION BY
BALAM BARUGAHARA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the World’s most acclaimed democracy has not once, but twice registered the inevitable and phenomenal scenarios of First Sons becoming Presidents and Commanders in Chief of the strongest army.
Presidents John Adams (1797-1801) and his son Quincy Adams (1825-1829). And Presidents George H.W. Bush (1989-1993) and George W. Bush Jnr (2001-2009).
In South Korea, one of the famously industrialized Four Asian Tigers, Park Chung-hee ruled from 1961 to 1979 and his daughter Park Guen-hye from 2013 to 2017.
Go to India, the world’s most populous democracy. Jawaharlal Nehru (founding father)ruled from 1947 to 1964 and his daughter Indira Gandhi January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 to 1984.
In the neighboring Kenya, the reigning President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta perfectly fitted in the shoes of his Father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta who was president between 1964 to his death in 1968. And the story is the same to other African Countries like Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) of Joseph Kabila who took over after his late dad, president Laurent-Desire Kabila in 2001.
Here in Uganda, President Museveni exceptionally transformed the country from a smuggling & rationing economy to a steady exporter and many other milestones registered in three decades. We fully rally behind the strategic leadership of Father of our Nation Gen. Museveni and we shall forever be grateful.
Now, First son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba is best suited, not only to democratically replace the father at the opportune moment, but also to consolidate the socioeconomic and political gains since 1986.
Our generational leader has quintessentially demonstrated his dedication, skills and undoubted sacrifice in the military, exceptional experience. Patriotism & Pan-Africanism define the charisma of Gen. Muhoozi. He’s a good leader, good listener, trained, tested, tried, honesty, respectful, brilliant and respectful person to mention but a few. Gen. Muhoozi is my First Choice.
The day Mzee retires, we shall have one indisputable Leader Champion to overwhelmingly vote for and he’s Master Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
For now he’s Proffessionalizing the Ground forces, Army. But we shall be there, it’s just a matter of time.
For now let’s support Mzee M7 pakalast as he’s still able and strong.
Let’s also tap into Government Programs like Emyooga, NAADS and opportunities available in the Armed forces (2000 in the UPDF annually).
Form Saccos, tap into OWC for Agric support and inputs, Tourism is also under exploited and ICT is almost a virgin industry. The youth should focus on productive activities to build their own economic potentials and only engage in political debates, that benefit politicians, at their free time.
Our leaders in charge of these programs let’s know about them and avail younger people this information and the much needed support.
Let us also be tolerant and embrace political pluralism by respecting and accommodating divergent views.
