Federalism for All Now: New definition of secession
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-definition-of-secession.html
New definition of secession. EAR TO THE GROUND Charles Onyango-Obbo. There are two Ugandas; the 1st and 2nd republics. September 12, 2007. Recently MP Hussein Kyanjo got very many people, from the fattest political cats at the top, to small time village NRM officials, very agitated when he suggested that it might be better for Uganda to secede, because it has got a very raw deal under the government of President Yoweri Museveni. If that were the case, then the ultimate irony is that Buganda got a “...

No Museveni, Kabaka talks on federo - Lukiiko. News May 23, 2007. ROBERT MWANJE and AL- MAHDI SSENKABIRWA. THE President cannot have direct talks with the Kabaka over federo, the Buganda Lukiiko has said. President Museveni recently demanded direct talks with Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi over Buganda's long quest for a federal system of governance. The kingdom interim katikkiro Emmanuel Ssendaula said they were ready to negotiate with the government in close consultation with the Kabaka. President Mu...

Federalism for All Now: August 2007
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Opinion FEDERALISM August 27, 2007. Gen Ali’s outbursts were unfortunate. I would like to react to Lt. Gen. Moses Ali’s outbursts over Hon. Hussein Kyanjo’s statements calling upon Buganda to break away from the rest of Uganda and form an autonomous state like Eritrea did from Ethiopia, Southern Sudan, which is in the process of breaking away as an independent state etc. Why didn’t he raise his concerns at that time if he is so patriotic as he is trying to portray in his attacks? These and many others ar...

Federalism for All Now
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2013/04/federo-issue-requires-constitutional.html
Requires a constitutional approach, Uganda. Writing in the New Vision of August 5, Patrick Kayongo raised pertinent issues regarding Buganda’s demands for federo (“Can Uganda document ebyaffe” and “Is federo relevant? 8221;) by suggesting that Mengo should make a list of Buganda’s properties she is demanding from the government and also explain what federo means and what we stand to benefit from it. The existence of two or more autonomous states is a pre-requisite to a federal arrangement. That is why in...

Federalism for All Now: Scottish Federo Model for Uganda?!
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2007/09/scottish-federo-model-for-uganda.html
Scottish Federo Model for Uganda? Ugandans must be told the plain truth about federo. As one of the staunch supporters of the federo idea in the sense of regional self-government I am becoming rather distressed by the way most people are going about the issue. Politics has replaced constitutionalism in the way most people address the issue and no attempt is made to articulate or explain what is involved in the term “federo.”. FOCUS: Buganda’s Kabaka Mutebi. The essence of internal autonomy or self-govern...

Federalism for All Now: September 2006
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
UPC rows caused the 1966 crisis. Monday, 25th September, 2006. A LEARNED FRIEND WITH A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. Although the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) has been largely at loggerheads with the central region for the greater part of its 40 six years of existence, its greatest handicap has always been its internal contradictions and intrigues. With Buganda absent on the national scene, the 10 representaitves soon saw the opportunity for snatching national leadership from the central province where all t...

Federalism for All Now: February 2008
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Quest for federalism must be principled. Opinions February 23, 2008. Buganda is usually very presumptive when it comes to advancing its interests. Take for instance, the agitation for federo. A feature article by J. K. Kavuma Kagwa entitled Create four federal states (Daily Monitor, February 13) is one such passionate appeal for what the Baganda have conceptualised as a utopian state of their existence. It was Kabaka Ronald Mutebi who clearly scorned the latter idea. The Kabaka argued that such a mov...

Federalism for All Now: Federalism does not mean tribalism
http://fedsnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/federalism-does-not-mean-tribalism.html
Federalism does not mean tribalism. Opinion GOVERNANCE November 7, 2007. Kenya is gripped by election fever. In the frenzied atmosphere everything has become extremely partisan operating essentially as ‘if you are not for me’ then you are against me! I had made it clear to my hosts that I was not coming to speak as a UN staff but rather as a concerned Pan Africanist and a political scientist with some insight into the subjecxt matter. Even in their preoccupation with my UN status they did not even bother...
