Power Drunkard Museveni honors corruption genius at Makerere

There is a little stormin Twitter right now #MakerereUniversityInstitute.And it all started when esteemed Makerere University through its officialtwitter handle announced the cordial invitation of Kenya’s Vice President WilliamRuto to the ceremonial launching of, get this: William Ruto “LEADERSHIP”Institute.

Well, first of all, guys,should we warn our kins from Uganda, or should we let them learn fromexperience? Here is a hint: in 2015, some kids were tear-gassed while fightingfor their playground, which Weston Hotel was allegedly attempting to snatchthem. Ugandans, go research the man behind Weston and guard your playgrounds.

Now onto the hazelnut inthis bite, President Museveni of Uganda has honored VP Ruto of Kenya by naminga leadership institute after him. Through a memo sent on 17^th Dec byMakerere University Vice-Chancellor, Barnabas Wanangwe, the latter wasinvited to lay the foundation stone for the institute on 21^stDecember.

So, Kaguta Museveni, aninfamous African dictator, suppressor of opposition, torturer, greedy and radicalnon-reformist, sat down one day with legs spread and clad in oversize boots anddecided,

“You know what, I have led this country for more than 3 decades, my leaderships skills must be a phenomenon. I’ll build a school where I can mentor future African leaders and leave a legacy behind. But my fellow Wakanda are quite angry with me for warming this mahogany throne a little longer (although it’s for their own good), so let me give my brother Ruto the mandate to launch this institution. Ruto is tough, a true nobody-to-somebody story, a hustler who worked his way to the top within 2 decades. Ugandans will be inspired. Eiish! I deserve a Nobel prize for my brains”

He then picks up hisphone and rings Wanangz of Makerere, “Bro, I’m building a leadership institutein your compound and Ruto will be taking all the credit, organize somethingfast.”

Within an hour, Wanangzcalls back, “Igwe, everything is set”. His Excellency picks his internationalphone and dials Mheshimiwa Ruto.

“Bro, it’s been a minute,how are you? I see those guys are hitting you left right and center”

Ruto, “ Yes Igwe, thingsare getting tough over here, but you know me, I always have a plan”

Kaguta, “Well, you shouldpay me a visit I’ve got a warm Jacuzzi and masseuse from India waiting for you,come let’s chill out at Entebbe. I’ve been where you are now, I know you needto relax a bit. Afterward, we’ll head to Mak’s, I’ve got a surprise for you”

And that’s how the entireAfrican leadership system was insulted and Makerere University’s name tarnishedfor centuries to come. Africa is a pitch for audacious insanity; politiciansare the players and we are the spectators, cheering avidly as the most morallydefiant politicos score goals. They stage such unbelievable moves and all wecan do is watch.

It baffles me how a manwho has defied the laws of good leadership for decades, can confidently decideto build a leadership institution and name it after someone considered insanelyuntrustworthy. First, what is going to be taught in this institute? How tostage a coup, how to hold onto power, how to squash opposition and how tosuppress the will of the people?

I mean, Kaguta is at thebottom of government leadership academy, he has been there for decades. Infact, where is he? I cannot see him on the sign sheet. Did he drop out? What?Dad (Uganda) has been paying fees all this time for nothing.

Secondly, how do you namean institution after the very same person that all young leadership scholars inthe world should be taught to shun, the chancellor of Corruption College? Imean, is it not common knowledge in Kenya that he is among the biggest most reveredname, the GOAT in greed soccer?

The biggest scandals aresynonymous to him, most cruel deaths have been linked to him and the emptiest liesproclaimed by him. And I’m not saying this in a biased stance, VP Ruto has hisown achievements and I wouldn’t claim his opponents are holier than thou.

But when your atrocities andpersonal gains are proclaimed in the public domain more than the things youhave done for the people, you don’t deserve emulation in leadership, let alonean institution being named after you.

Hunt or be hunted ~ Francis Underwood

VP is Francis Underwoodin real life. The art of stealth, patience, strategy, distraction, and calmamid turmoil in the journey of power acquisition, he has perfected. He is alwaysahead of the game. What is happening now, he foresaw it last year and has beenplanning ever since. Hunt or be hunted is his mantra and he lives by it all dayand night.

Yet this seemingly greatskill is not what Africa needs, especially when topped by greed. When a leadershipinstitute is built on the foundation of two leaders whose affinity to power isgreater than entangled neodymium magnets, then you can be sure true democracyand Africa arising will still remain a dream.

Makerere University comrades should not feel lucky to have William Ruto Leadership Institute; in fact, they should push the administration to change its name to the Ssentamu Leadership Institute in honor of the young Bobi Wine when Uganda is finally liberated from the crocodile jaws of Mzee.
