US sanctions can’t stop Gen Kandiho from executing his duties

 

One wonders, if we can’t survive when we don’t go to the US, it’s actually laughable. It is like someone stopping you from going to his home as if that will kill you or stop you from doing your work and making yourself better.  Kandiho is a patriotic Ugandan general who has done tremendous work in as far as keeping Uganda safe and secure is concerned.

 

Even when he has been doing all that work, he has never been before the camera maybe for debates or anything to do with news. He keeps a low profile!  However his name continue to be mentioned everywhere and everyday, that’s an evidence that he is a thorn in the fresh of the enemy. He doesn’t like cheap popularity like most of the people in Uganda even when he is a tremendous work.

 

His spirit of patriotism is unmatched and his way of doing things is admirable. I think our country would have crumbled already if he didn’t step in and do professional work in as far as providing intelligence to the commander in chief is concerned. Just imagine, it didn’t take us even a month to solve the security issues in Masaka region and other organised crimes that we have defeated.

 

Zimbabwe was sanctioned by the US and other European countries a long time ago but this didn’t delete Zimbabwe from the world map. They’ve continued to survive and exist as a country, I guess they’re also trying to boost their economy and get their citizens out of poverty and that’s possible whether they’re under sanctions or not.

 

They actually, successfully got a new president who started from where President Robert Mugabe had stopped and no cases of bloodshed or uprisings were reported. Which other stability or democracy do people want? I think that’s what everyone strives for, to peacefully choose leaders without bloodshed as the work of building the country continue.

 

We, appreciate the cooperation, the goodwill and the support Uganda has received from her friend the US but they should give us room to put things right because if we were under chaos and bloodshed there wouldn’t be any chance of receiving that support.

 

Besides, the people who are the beneficiaries of that assistance would either be dead or displaced. But because of the peace and stability, they can ably receive that assistance and a number of other projects can be sponsored and success recorded. Even the agents who are sent as supervisors and special envoys perform their duty well because Uganda is peaceful.

 

I think the people who thought and declared sanctions against Maj Gen Kandiho should be told about the principle of the National Resistance Movement government which is pan Africanism. They should be explained to, what it means and they should know that we have never deviated from it.

 

Why would anybody be bothered if they’re stopped from going to a foreign country? Uganda is gifted by nature, there’s nothing one misses if they don’t go to foreign countries. In any case, the people in the world flock into Uganda to enjoy the natural treasures that the almighty God gifted us with.

 

I think a holiday spent in Uganda is much better than any holiday spent in any foreign country. What the US did should energize Gen Kandiho and other patriotic Ugandans who hold different security positions to keep doing a wonderful job, to be committed to saving the lives of Ugandans and dealing with the enemies of our progress without any mercy.

 

Because nobody would survive if they declared themselves as enemies of the US.  Those who tried to attack the US have been forcefully sent to God, so why don’t they want us to defend ourselves as well? That kind of imperialism and egocentrism should stop. May God protect Maj Gen Abel Kandiho and give him more wisdom to execute his duties and continue making Uganda proud.
