| Still waiting
for that fundamental change |
| It is now exactly two years into President
Museveni’s third term, having been sworn in on
May 12, 2006. As part of the media focus on the NRM’s
achievements vis-a-vis the ruling party manifesto, we
publish a well-researched critique of the NRM penned
by US-based Ugandan researcher, ERICK KASHAMBUZI. |
| ‘English’
the ‘whole’ Queen wouldn’t click |
| The English spoken in Uganda, like that
spoken elsewhere, has developed a strong local flavour.
Though standard British English is widely considered
to be the “correct” form of the language
in Uganda, most Ugandans who speak English have had
little contact with native British speakers, so everyday
communication is successfully carried out in the local
form of the language. A number of patterns characterise
Ugandan usage: |
| Simple,
gentle man who changed Kigezi |
| When one has lived in Europe or the
United States of America (USA), he or she becomes accustomed
to the media-perpetrated idea that we, Africans, are
incapable of success. |
|
A man who took no offence |
| When former Attorney General and Speaker
of Parliament Francis Ayume died in a motor accident
after a golf tournament in Masindi on May 16, 2004,
Samuel Wossita, who had covered the event, was more
than saddened. |
| Large population
increases fire risk |
| Uganda Police Fire Brigade was created
in 1904 when the British started the police force in
Uganda. Shifa Mwesigye talked to the
Fire Brigade Chief Fire Officer Adima Okulu
Lawrence about what the Brigade does. |
| Has promised
ICT been delivered? |
| During its re-election bid in 2006, the
NRM as a contesting party came up with a campaign manifesto
short-listing measures it would adopt in order to improve
the country, if it was elected to power. |
