To Sista Beti Kamya: It should Not be Personal


I am not associated with FDC other than being an admirer of Besigye’s courage to take on the man Ugandans are scared of. It was amazing reading Beti Kamya’s latest cat fight with FDC which borders on an ego trip. The fight is about her position in FDC, which she has not advanced any better by the public mud wrestling. Instead she may have scared off even would-be suitors from other parties. Life is not fair. If, for the time being, she is not getting what she wants, a professional would lick her wounds and either gets out of the party or gets to work to gain favor in the party. If, for example, she delivered Buganda to FDC, the power that be within FDC would be licking her feet,

There is some wisdom in what Museveni says about “talking in the wrong forum,” –however, with the caveat that it should only be limited to the workings of a party or an organization. Fundamental policy and philosophical differences have no forum restrictions because they are in the national interests at large. If Beti Kamya has any such differences, she can shout to the top of Mt. Rwenjori. As it is now, she is being infantile and a loser.
