As told by Gordon Opiyo
Spire Cartoons is the top political satirist in Uganda …and if you follow the page, you will see the big mighty terrible Storm brewing in Uganda…..
Ssebo is approaching his 80s and his succession plans have gone wrong.. there is bitter infighting between his first born son, Muhoozi and the husband to his daughter Odrek Rwabongo….
His initial plan was to hand over power to Muhoozi…but it looks like the Waganda rogad him..the guy drinks 24-7 , and has become a walking (staggering) disaster..
In order to keep it in the family, Ssebo turned to his son in law Rwabongo..who is the currently the power broker in Uganda..
If you want anything in the Ugandan system, you have to go through Rwabongo… nearly all major industries are controlled by Rwabongo..as the first born General drinks himself silly…
This is bringing a big headache, because the drunk General is a people person.. who splashes cash to fellows and buys Waragi to villagers… while the son in law is a corporate honcho who has no time for the poor…
In whatever angle you look at it, Kenya is lucky to have a system of elections that forces the political class to be accountable….as much as we have the permanent opposition leader, we have to appreciate him…
All major investors are placing Uganda in extreme high risk category, because nobody knows what will happen if Ssebo joins his ancestors….the vicious battle is likely to tear the country into different factions…
We should thank God for the system we have here in Kenya, where everyone has to work extra hard in five years in order to get reelected…of course the expection is in Luo Nyanza and Coast..where all you have to do is to pay highest bribe to get ODM certificate…
