How about WE help the government instead?
Tusaba Gavumenti Etuyambe!! #TGE!! Let’s petition the President!! Seriously, Ugandans. Aren’t we tired of asking our government to help us with every little thing? Family land wrangle? Let me write to the president! I have jiggers. Let’s ask the First Lady for money! My wife won’t sleep with me. HELEP!! When does it stop?! What happened to asking not what your government can do for you, but what you can do for your government? Every government needs help from its people. I’m not just talking about getting them in office so they can enjoy our blood sweat and taxes. Sometimes I read about initiatives, bills being passed and sacks of money being donated and think, hang on- surely this is misguided? I hear people complaining in the office or grumbling on social media, and I just can’t help thinking that governments are not taking advantage of their people. Not as much as they could, anyway. There are so many things...
