              MY COMMENT.      
Some of our youth do not expect themselves to be stealing but the hostile economy and standard of living in our country  is compressing some of our youth to go stealing.
Especially you go there in my region called WESTNILE, the a few employment opportunity my fellows there could travel abroad to do, might either be a security guard or a sugar cane cutter, which qualifies only for those who attained 'O' level education or P.7 leaver.  And those who never attained such level of education get themselves driven into dubious acts like becoming a  street gambler or stealing bicycle, chicken, phone, goat... And awfully you even see the police and Judiciary feeling proud to arrest and prosecute such a petty chicken thief.

It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...
