Assessment of the Proposed Electoral Reforms by Hon. Mathias Mpuuga

The electoral reforms proposed by Hon. Mathias Mpuuga present a seemingly progressive framework aimed at overhauling Uganda's deeply compromised electoral process. However, upon closer scrutiny, these reforms fall short of addressing the core issues that have long undermined the possibility of free and fair elections in Uganda. While the ideas put forward may seem well-intentioned, they neither tackle the structural impediments to democratic processes nor account for the deeply entrenched authoritarianism that has been systematically cultivated by Yoweri Museveni's regime.

One of the most laudable proposals is the restoration and entrenchment of presidential term limits, a feature that was removed in 2005 to allow Gen. Museveni to extend his grip on power indefinitely. The reintroduction of term limits, while symbolically important, is insufficient on its own. Museveni’s removal of constitutional guardrails like term and age limits has already laid bare his disregard for constitutionalism and the rule of law. In this context, proposing the reinstatement of term limits without addressing the broader erosion of institutional checks and balances seems naive, if not deliberately superficial. Museveni has proven adept at manipulating legal frameworks to his advantage, and there is little to suggest that such reforms would be meaningfully implemented under his regime.

The proposal for a presidential candidate to have a running mate who would serve as Deputy President is another well-intended reform. However, this change seems more cosmetic than substantive. Uganda's political crisis is not rooted in the absence of a Deputy President but in the excessive concentration of power in the executive, particularly in the person of Gen. Museveni himself. Introducing a Deputy President would do little to address this fundamental imbalance, especially since the entire electoral apparatus remains firmly under Museveni’s control.

Perhaps the most perplexing of Mpuuga’s proposals is the introduction of a second tier of Parliament with 39 MPs from Uganda’s original districts, headed by the Deputy President. On the surface, this move seeks to return to a more representative model of governance. However, it is difficult to see how this additional legislative body would function in a political system where the current Parliament has already been weakened and subjugated by the executive. Increasing the number of legislative bodies or seats does not address the reality that the Museveni regime has rendered both Parliament and the Judiciary impotent in holding the government accountable. Without fundamental institutional reforms that ensure the independence of these bodies, the creation of a second tier of Parliament seems more like a distraction than a solution.

The reduction of the size of Parliament to 292 MPs is a step in the right direction, given Uganda’s bloated and ineffective legislative body. However, any such reduction must be viewed with caution, as past "reforms" to Parliament have often resulted in gerrymandering, with new constituencies created to favor ruling party candidates. Unless the redistricting process is transparent and overseen by a truly independent electoral commission, this proposal could easily be manipulated to further entrench the dominance of the ruling National Resistance Movement.

One of the more progressive elements of the reform package is the proposal to allow ordinary voters to challenge presidential election results in court. In principle, this would enhance judicial oversight of the electoral process and provide citizens with a direct mechanism to contest fraudulent elections. However, the real issue is not whether Ugandans can challenge election results in court but whether the courts themselves are willing or able to deliver impartial judgments in such cases. The judiciary, like other institutions in Uganda, has been co-opted by the Museveni regime, and it is difficult to see how this proposal would change that dynamic. Without an independent judiciary, this reform is unlikely to have the desired effect.

The proposal to declare presidential election results at the district level before transmission to the National Tally Centre is another attempt at improving transparency. While this measure might help reduce instances of tampering during the transmission of results, it does not address the more fundamental problem of widespread electoral fraud that occurs before the tallying process even begins. Museveni’s regime has a long history of voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and disenfranchisement, none of which will be rectified simply by decentralizing the announcement of results.

Finally, the inclusion of prisoners and Ugandans in the diaspora in the voting process is a long-overdue reform. These groups have been unjustly excluded from participating in Uganda’s democratic processes. However, this proposal raises practical concerns about how such voting would be implemented, particularly given the regime's reluctance to allow meaningful political participation from groups it views as hostile or unmanageable. Allowing diaspora Ugandans to vote, for instance, could pose a significant threat to Museveni, given the large diaspora population that is critical of his regime. It remains to be seen whether the government would genuinely facilitate voting for these groups, or whether this proposal is merely a token gesture.

Ultimately, the key question remains: Does the Museveni regime have the political will to implement meaningful reforms? History suggests otherwise. Museveni’s rise to power was justified by a desire to correct a rigged election, yet over the past 38 years, he has overseen one of the most entrenched systems of electoral manipulation in Africa. His removal of presidential term limits, elimination of age limits, and the systematic use of the police, military, and judiciary to target political opponents, coupled with his handpicking and manipulation of the electoral commission, all point to a leader determined to maintain power at any cost. Any proposal for electoral reform that does not address the authoritarian grip that Museveni and his family hold over the country is, at best, a well-meaning but ultimately futile exercise.

While Hon. Mathias Mpuuga’s proposals may appeal to some Ugandans who are desperate for change; they fail to address the root causes of Uganda’s electoral crisis. The problem is not a lack of reform ideas or laws on the books; it is a lack of political will from the ruling regime to embrace true democratic principles. Without a broader strategy to dismantle the autocratic infrastructure that Museveni has built over nearly four decades, these reforms are unlikely to bring about the substantive changes that Uganda so desperately needs.

Internal Court of Justice ruling
In November last year South Africa 🇿🇦 referred Israel 🇮🇱 to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the (Palestine) Gaza conflict.

'We believe that war crimes are being committed there,' President Cyril Ramaphosa said.

Today ICC with a near unanimous vote rules in favour of an order asked for by South Africa against Israel 🇮🇱

Ugandan judge Julia Sebutinde voted against all the provisional measures South Africa sought against Israel.

She is the first African woman to sit on the ICJ
Judge Julia Sebutinde voted for Israel on every provision, even where in some provisions the Israel judge voted for South Africa.

BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

POISON THAT KILLS MEN

Once upon a time a beautiful girl got tired of her marriage life and wanted to murder her spouse.

One morning she ran to her mother and say to her " mother, I am tired of my husband I can no longer support his nonsense. I want to kill him but I am afraid Law of the land will hold me responsible, can you please help me mother?"

The mother answered:

- Yes my daughter I can help you, but, there is a little task attached.

The daughter asked "what task? I am willing and ready to assume any task attached in order to get him out"

OK, said the mother,

1..You will have to make peace with him, so that no one will suspect you when he is dead.

2.. You will have to beautify yourself in order to look young and attractive to him

3.. You have to take good care of him and be very nice and appreciative to him

4.. You have to be patient, loving and less jealous, have more listening ears, be more respectful and obedient

5. Spend your money for him and don’t get angry even when he don't give you money for whatever

6. Don’t raise your voice against but encourage Peace and love so that you will never be suspected when he must have died.

Can you do all of that?
Asked the mother.
Yes i can. She replied
OK, said the mother.

Take this powder and pour a bit in his every day meal, it will slowly kill him.

After 30 days the lady came back to her mother and said.

Mother, I have no intention of killing my husband again😒. As of now I have grown to love him more because he has completely changed, he is now a very ssweet🥰husband than I ever imagined.

What can i do to stop the poison from killing him?

Please help me mother😒,

She pleaded in a sorrowful tone😤.

The mother answered;

Do not worry my daughter. What I gave you the other day was just Tumeric Powder. It will never kill him.

In reality, you were the poison that was slowly killing your husband with tension and dispassion.

It was when you started loving, honouring and cherishing him, you saved him.
Lets share to educate others 🙏

Happy new year,,, We shall all excel above expectations🙏🙏

A woman have sêx because she wants the man.

A man have sêx because he wants sêx.

You see the difference?

Sêx is a physical thing to a man.

But for a woman, sêx is both physical and emøtional.

A woman can have sēx because of love. But a man can have sêx because of sêx.

Before a woman can have sêx with you, she must have feēlings for you. She must have that emøtionally attachment to you, Not talking about those trāding their for møney in the name of Hoøk up, Stop it. Heaven is watching ❤️🙏

That EROS dimension of love will be there.

Hārdly will you find a woman having sêx with a man she does not love. Except if she's a prøstitute.

But for a man, reverse can be the case. A man may have no iota of love for you, and still have sêx with you.

This is why a man can hire a prøstitute just to have sêx. He doesn't need to love the prøstitute before he fulfills his sèxual desire.

Now, understand this:

As a woman, a man can use you to feed his s*xūal desires. He can even give you money. He can take you out. All because he wants sêx, not you!

If you want to know if a man truly loves you, don't give him sêx. Sit back and watch.

If he leaves you because you don't give him sêx, then he doesn't love you. He only loves sêx!

Dear young adult girl!

As you're growing up and getting closer to the journey of marriage life..pls try to understand that you can choose a husband for yourself but your kids can't choose their own father,while choosing a father for them pls choose a father,a friend,a tutor,a prophet,and a guidance for them...

And don't forget to be good mother you can raise a hero and not a zero
Wedding ring is the smallest handcuff ever made, so think deep, choose your prisøn mate carefully and sentence yourself wisely, to avoid prisøn break.
🙏

ABOUT S*X AND DATING

A lot of girls complain that guys walk away from them simply because they refused to give them S*x, Some have even turned into S*x toys just to keep their man

Let me be very open here.......

S*x might not be the reason these guys walk away!

Remove s*x from a relationship and see that most girls don't have anything else to offer their men!

Aside from S*x, what do you have to offer to a man?

Can you support him Spiritually?

Can you Support him Physically/Financially?

How about Mentally?

All you do is Demand Money for Bags, Shoes, phones Clothes, and Outings.

Making him spend unnecessarily

What are you even bringing to the table?

Have you ever sat him down and helped him plan his future?

Try to be a Woman that a man will always regret losing for the rest of his Life.

Be that woman that your man can never afford to lose to another man!

Build your man to your Taste and stop looking for a ready-made husband when you are not a ready-made Wife.

HOW TO AVOID EMOTIONAL AFFAIR...✍🏾

Even if you are married to the best spouse in the whole world, if you do not guard your heart, you may end up "falling in love" with someone aside from your spouse and eventually ruin your marriage.

No one gets married and plans to have an affair but lots of married men and women are into affairs today because they slept when they should have been wide awake with their five senses alert.

1. Don't be too friendly with the opposite s*x. This is where lots of married people land in trouble. Over spirituality and pride will destroy your marriage! You can't handle close friendships with the opposite s*x as a married person. Your heart is involved. Set boundaries. Be disciplined. Be cordial. Be respectful. Be godly. Be holy.

2. Don't share your problems with an opposite-s*x friend. It will bond you together. Problems bond people.

3. Don't contact any opposite s*x you are fond of. If you secretly admire them, you are fond of them and there is a tingling in your heart at the mere thought of them, don't contact them!

4. Avoid unnecessary eye contact that lingers with the opposite s*x.
5. Don't tell the opposite s*x you are romantic or s*xy, that private information is for your spouse only.

6. Avoid discussions with the opposite s*x when you are tired, very sad, depressed, sorrowful, drowsy, sleepy, or very sick. This can cloud your judgment and make you say silly things. Talk to your husband/wife instead.

7. Avoid unnecessary compliments of the opposite s*x.
8. Stop saying "I love you" to the opposite s*x, for what?
9. Work on your marriage. Keep the fire of love and romance alive in your marriage!

10. Protect your family. Don't share your marital problem with your opposite-s*x friend, it will bond you.
11. Never flirt with the opposite s*x.

12. Mind the pictures you post on social media. Limit pictures that show your curves or portray you as s*xy.

13. Do not contact all your exes after marriage.

14. Don't chat with the opposite s*x on the days you are h***y.

15. Stop focusing on your spouse's weaknesses and appreciate their strengths. If you always see the bad side of your spouse, you will be angry, bitter, and critical and look for someone who can "understand" you and make you happy aside from your spouse, that is the beginning of an emotional affair and eventual s*xual affair. It is the beginning of the end of a once glorious marriage!

FLEE from all appearances of evil is what the Bible says.
What you will not eat, don't bring it to your nose, don't smell it!
Don't start what you cannot finish!

Avoid all emotional and s*xual affairs, they will destroy your marriage!

May you not take a step that will lead to eternal regret.

WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T ENJOY S*X...✍🏾

1. LACK OF LOVE
Love is the greatest aphrodisiac; when you are in love with someone, you find everything about them s*xy, you surrender to pleasure. S*x is more than getting to the climax, it's an act of intimacy, it's also about the journey that leads to the climax and the reason why the climax is special. That's why you should marry the one you are in love with.

2. THINKING TOO MUCH
When you are making love, free your mind and pleasure will follow. Put the stress aside, stop thinking about the baby, about the bills, about your responsibilities, whether your skin is too sweaty, whether you're making too much noise, whether you're doing it right, whether you are hard or wet enough. Stop worrying, you and your spouse deserve this moment of pleasure. Pleasure is first sought after in the mind.

3. COMPARISONS
When you compare and make your expectation of what good s*x is based on what you read in magazines, what you read online and what you hear from friends; when you compare the size of your hubby's tool with what you hear from friends, compare your wife's body and tricks with what you hear; you will not enjoy s*x with your spouse. S*x is custom-made for every couple, leave the world behind, it's just you two.

4. PO*******HY
Po*******hy confuses you, it plants images of strangers in your mind. Po*******hy becomes addictive as you are ever searching for the next steamy scene by strangers on screens. Slowly you become numb to your spouse's s*xiness as you drool over strangers; even when you climax, it's not because you are thinking about your spouse but because you are thinking of p**n stars. Po*******hy is like taking a walk with your spouse in the streets and desiring every person who passes your way, you wouldn't do that in the streets, why do that on screens?

5. PROMISCUITY
Sleeping with many people drains you, eventually, you feel lost. Eventhough s*x takes you to a form of high, s*x comes with deep feelings of emptiness in you. S*x is best enjoyed exclusively, that's why we marry.

6. SUSPICION
When you suspect your spouse of unfaithfulness your body will automatically become defensive. You keep asking in your head where has your spouse been, will you contract a disease, how dare your spouse do that?

7. FIGHTS WITH YOUR LOVER
It is difficult to enjoy s*x with a spouse you are mad at, a spouse you despise, who keeps hurting you or who makes you feel taken for granted. S*x is not for people who consider themselves enemies. Resolve disputes quickly, don't end the day with grudges, make up before before you go to bed; your s*xlife is at stake. Once arguments make the fire fade, it will be hard to get it back.

8. POOR MOOD SETTINGS
Is your bedroom conducive for s*x? Is your bedroom an eye sore or neat? Is the decor and lighting good ambiance for passion? Do you dress up for s*x, investing in lingerie? Do you shower up to give you a fresh natural scent, or are you full of foul smell? Do you clean your p***c area, do you shave if your spouse loves it shaved? Your body is a meal, package it ready to eat; your bedroom is your s*x haven, decorate it as such.

9. RUSHING
Unless it's a quickie, don't rush s*x. Take your time, there is so much treasure hidden in your spouse's body. Explore. Tease your spouse, prolong the climb so that when the climax comes it is a massive volcano and to her, multiple eruptions.

10. S*XUAL INCOMPATIBILITY
It is very important to marry someone you are s*xually compatible with, that you two naturally flow. A person may be good in character and heart but not s*xually compatible with you and so s*x will be something you both struggle to do, you'll find friction and walls on your way to climax, it will exhaust you. S*xual compatibility is cultivated, you get it by learning each other.

11. PAST PAIN
If the abuse of s*x in the past brought you pain then you will never enjoy s*x if you don't heal. If you were r***d or s*xually assaulted, if you were crashed s*xually, if you aborted, if you used to sell your body for favors; then you need to heal to get to enjoy s*x. Your spouse will help you heal if you open up, don't let something so beautiful be ruined by past pain. Let God redeem s*x to how it should be- sweet and pleasurable

12. RIGIDNESS
S*x is like a graceful dance, you will not enjoy it if you are rigid and have rules and fixed patterns. Remember it's is not just about you getting pleasure your way, your spouse has desires too. Your spouse could be taking you to pleasures unknown if only you relax, let loose, be open and free.

13. HYGIENE CONCERNS
S*x sometimes can get sensually messy. Yes, your fluids mix, tongues collide, sheets get wet. If you're busy being made love to but still playing your neat freak role you will not enjoy s*x. In fact, you will find yourself repelling your spouse, you don"t want to lick your spouse, don't want the tongue on you, you'll be scared of fluids mixing, and worse off, especially for women, when he climaxes you push him aside and want to run to take a shower. Your spouse can tell when you wear disgusted eyes.

14..SAME OLD ROUTINE
Boredom eventually makes you get tired of s*x, s*x shouldn't always be predictable. Be creative in bed, your s*xlife depends on it.

15. HAVING S*X AS AN OBLIGATION
S*x should be an expression of love not a duty. Tragedy is when you get to the point of s*xing your spouse because you feel obligated to give your spouse conjugal rights. S*x should not be one sided where one spouse gets pleasure and the other feels forced to play the part. This is where most women fake or***ms and end it quickly, soon s*x becomes undesirable.

16. PATHETIC FOREPLAY
No foreplay or pathetic foreplay puts off the act. S*x should be like a concert, where foreplay is the curtain raiser and in*******se the main act. When the curtain raiser is a bad performance, it taints the quality of the entire concert.

17. COLD HINDPLAY
The foreplay may be amazing, the in*******se could be incredible, but what happens after the climax shapes the view of s*x. If after s*x your spouse becomes cold towards you, treats you like you are no longer needed or walks away like you are some dirty thing; you will begin to feel used. Every time you'll think of s*x, you will remember that feeling of being used.

18. VIEWING S*X AS EVIL
In a world where talking about s*x has been made a taboo, s*x has been made so cheap, the abuse of s*x has led to much pain and we grow up being told to shun s*x; many end up viewing s*x as evil. Godly people become programmed to frown at the thought of s*x. Evil shouldn't steal what God invented. S*x is Godly and is God's idea. In your marriage, talk dirty with your spouse, get kinky, hold nothing back; for even God expects, desires and demands you two to enjoy s*x.

19. FEAR OF PREGNANCY
No one, married or not desires to get a child when they are not ready. We plan our families because we want to bring children into this world when we can give the best. The fear of getting pregnant can take away the peace, one can't relax fully though the want for pleasure exists. And even after the s*x, the mind stays anxious waiting for the monthly periods, and gets worried when the periods are late. That worry keeps eating up the joy of s*x. Save yourself the stress, discuss with your spouse and doctor on the right contraceptive so that you enjoy s*x and plan when to have children or your next child.

20. ROUGHNESS
When your spouse is clumsy, hurtful or rough on you and in touching you it can easily kill the pleasure. Teach each other how to handle each other, be sensitive. There is a difference between wild good s*x and hurtful handling.

21. WRONG WORDS OR NOT WORDS SPOKEN
Don't be silent, go on and moan, say something, say what you want. Your moan turns your spouse on even more, the more your spouse hears you enjoying, the more your spouse gets into it and enjoyment is heightened. Be careful also not to say something that turns your spouse off.
