VERDICT FOR KAMPALA RIOTERS.

The situation is calm in Kampala although the security officers are still patrolling the place. It is surprising up to now that we still wake up on headlines like “Kabaka misses president’s meeting", “MPs back government” among the so many others which derive to the same point – the Kabaka is to blame.

I think the problem in Kampala now is similar to that of two alpha dogs trying to fight for a territory.

I remember when I was still young in the Fort Portal, we had the only female dog in the village and these huge male dogs used to come and fight from or backyard during the mating season just each to have its share …………..you know what I mean! And now I think this is a similar Scenario that is occurring in Kampala. both the Kabaka and Museveni want to be heard in the same region. they all want to show authority.

Some of the rioters are behind bars now, all for what? And of all charges terrorism, was what they rioted for worth it?.

Some of these rioters did not do it for the purpose it was meant for, they were just hooligans lacking what do useful in their lives. Boda-Boda riders, luggage carriers and other hustlers in life who first wanted to feel the pleasure of being in a band wagon and now that some of them have been singled out, they are sweating plasma behind bars. If only what they rioted for had succeeded but it did not.
