People will say men do not talk. But Kampala men talk, they talk but there is no way out of their talk. The only way out is to hide further. A bigger double cabin, pork ears, an upgrade of the whiskey and some new house party theme.
Part 1: Seeking a political party
I am on a hunt for a political party. I have a checklist; I seek a political party embedded in the realities of the country. I do not want my political party to pretend about anything. I want everything to represent the rawness of Uganda. For example, in that political party, it should be legal to bribe, to tell lies to voters, and to bring in family and friends into key positions. Although every other political party seeks to take over the big office, the one I desire should ask for only one thing – a piece of the cake. “Ffe bwebatuuwa akaffe” they can take the rest. All we want is our share. My political party should not espouse a grand ideology. Just one simple slogan – ‘Ono alya, n’oli alya…’ In this party, I desire a crude party president. One who does not beat about the bush. We could even establish a voting market, with the ability to trade votes around contestants. But that will come down to my party president. If anyone has leads to this political party, I would like to belong. No more platitudes. Just a raw political party. Okay. No curation.
