Is Uganda really independent when over 40% of our budget is sponsored by European colonial powers? When people are in causality and ward 3B of Mulago hospital waiting and getting no medical attention, ‘waiting to die,’ when one ‘s freedom can be taken away anytime, like in the case of col. Kiiza Besigye and Kampala Lord mayor, Erias Lukwago.

More still Ugandans still have people being kidnapped, rapped, killed, murdered, and no one knows where they are.

In Uganda someone stays on remand at Luzira prison for over 10 years and later released on grounds that he/she was innocent.

Is Uganda really independent when LRA rebel leader Joseph Kony could kidnap girls, and kill over 200 people at ago at Barlonyo? Recently Ugandans cerebrated 50 years of independence. But to critics it was cerebrating the 50 years of pain. The only difference we have in Uganda is having the likes of president Museveni failing to put a successful war on corruption.
