The Wireless Connection
came across a letter addressed to the president concerning the money he owns in
Uganda written by our own Musumba Zak of Naluvule Wakiso and we have decided to
reproduce it here. Enjoy your read.
Dear Museveni,
In the good old book, it is said that Money answereth all
things. There is also a Luganda proverb with an almost identical meaning in its
translation which says essente wekuba egonza wo.
So, when last week, you our dear president took the occasion
to remind us that you own all the money in Uganda, I took the remarks seriously.
My only concern is whether Sejusa, Mbabazi, Besigye and all those who have
messed with you our president in one way or the other are aware of this fact.
On that note therefore I have decided to copy them in this
letter so that they can know that you are not their size.
In this letter I have highlighted some of the things we can
do with all the money you own in Uganda. For I guess that when the trouble
makers know what your money can do, they will appreciate their boundaries and
stop crossing them.
#1. Stock Tear Gas.
2016 is a few months away and honestly we have to use some of the money to buy
tear gas. It is obvious. What better investment can we make with this money? On
this note therefore we should warn Kiiza Besigye that though the size of his
eyes (excuse the pun) are supposed to give Ugandans the reason to believe that
he has a good vision, in our country only you, the big man in the house, are
entitled to having a vision for the country. The tear gas we buy shall be used to
drown out the Kiiza Besigye kind of eyes that purport to provide an alternative
to the only vision in the country.
#2. Take Janet to
Barbados for a holiday. You also know this is a joke. I know how unromantic
and old-fashioned you are (Forgive me for being a little crude). To worsen
matters, the first lady is just as old-fashioned. We have never seen her in a
bikini like some of the first ladies in those cool countries beyond the seas,
just saying. I am told you do not believe in PDA (Public Display of Affection).
In fact I am told you’re so against the custom that you even detest the
tradition of the groom kissing the bride at their wedding. Now Mr. President,
that’s funny. I even wonder what made me think that you would buy into this
idea of taking your wife to cool holiday destinations like Barbados. It’s not
possible.
Besides, since you are in the privileged position of being the center
of everything that happens in Uganda, if you went away even for a day, the
nation would break down. You need to supply the money; we depend on your vision
to move forward, so generally it is not possible for the country to survive
without you.
#3. Redistribute the
money in Uganda. Last but not least,
since you own all the money in Uganda, I am thinking you’re going to get
the money from that wealthy clout of hangers-on that you have and redistribute
it to your peasants. I guess it’s that easy for you. They are the ones who vote
for you, remember.
