KAMPALA– Hon. Captain Francis Babu has vowed to stand by the truth, as well as support those with an aim of promoting true African values and Democracy.
On addressing the gathering at Uganda Law Society’s (ULS) at 30th RNB Live, Babu emphasized that there is no need for people to get divided because political differences to the extent of hating each other
focus on Political parties to the extent of ignoring promoting African goals ..
“The British brought us the system of divide and rule which enabled them to rule us. Let us unite and avoid being divided again.”
He therefore advised that instead of getting divided and engaging in violence like that which was witnessed in NRM Primaries, Ugandans need to find a solution on why the country has failed to stabilize after independence.
“Some people intimidate, to the extent of threatening/intimidate to take your life , that is nonsense because this our country, if am going to die a martyr to make this country better , that’s is well and good.”
On the side of democracy, Babu asked the leaders to practice it fully not partially by practicing what favors them.
“Let’s ask ourselves the real question: Do we truly have democracy in this country, or are we simply pretending? Because from where I stand, it looks like we’re toying with the word democracy without fully understanding what it means.”
Harriet Naigaga, one of the contestants in the recently concluded NRM Primaries, blamed the election administrators for being the main reason behind internal electoral violence and thus advised them to invest heavily in voter awareness campaigns.
The 30th RNB Live Press engagement of the Radical New Bar attracted a number of politicians, policy makers, legal practitioners and scholars who held discussion Bout the NRM Party Primaries, Labour externalization and human trafficking.
