                     By Anguzu Vincent The National Resistance Movement (NRM) may have concluded its party primaries, but the storm is far from over. Across the country, the primaries were marred by widespread complaints, ranging from vote rigging, voter intimidation and outright manipulation of results. The legitimacy of several outcomes is being heavily contested by the aspirants who lost, with numerous petitions lodged by aggrieved aspirants who claim the process was neither free nor fair. Far from that, what is even more alarming is the toxic and acrimonious nature of the campaigns among the contesting camps, which have deeply fractured the party at the grassroots level. In many constituencies, the relationship between winners and losers is irreparably damaged, making unity behind the party flag bearers a distant dream. Those who lost are unlikely to rally behind those they believe were unfairly declared winners. Instead, a surg...

Whenever I visit Iran, like when His E...

The total economy- monetary and non –monetary had shrunk by 25% by1986 compared to1970 (collier and Reinikka, 2001). In dollars, the size of GDP in 1986 was US$ 1.26 billion and that was the NRM entry point. Certain principles or measures were applied to restore and revamp the small island of PSEUDO- MODERNITY, expand it and deepen its quality. The following were the stimuli applied (Fundamental principles of Musevenomics) 1. Security of persons and property. The NRM government had heavily invested in a disciplined UPDF army, which espoused values of human rights, people freedoms and protection of persons and their property.
