In our country wide engagement, we have interacted with some objective and modest minded fellow NRM comrades. However, we have also been struck by a country wide outcry and frustration from both NRM leaders who fear to express their independent views for fear of being criminalized.

Ugandans feel they are not being listened to. The fearless NRM generation therefore think that…

By Norbert Mao No Ugandan leader has been in power longer than Yoweri Museveni. On 26th February, 2017 he clocked 31 years as President of Uganda.

He justified his undemocratic hold on…
