About the Author: Message to Uganda Fellow Citizens, A country is at its best when the leadership cares about its people and when the sense of national purpose and vision is clear. For 27 years under the current Uganda Government hope has been lost and the challenges we face are immense. Our public sector is overwhelmed by misuse of public resources, our social fabric is shattered. The political system and politicians have all betrayed the people and the cause they intended to serve. I believe we can get out of this trap and sort out these problems if we work together. If we remember that we are all Ugandans and we are therefore one people irrespective of our tribe, religion, color as well as our social economic and political background. The current government says: 'give us your vote and we will make all of you rich'. We say: real change does not come from government alone, real change comes when the people are mobilized, and inspired to play a part in the nation's future and feel there is fairness in the distribution of the nation's resources. Yes, this is our plan. Yes, it sounds ambitious. But in the end all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, shall remain spoken words without your involvement. How will we create jobs unless we understand that we are all in this struggle together? How will we raise the standard of education in our schools unless every parent plays their part and government realizes the need? How will we turn around communities unless people stop asking 'who will do this?' and start focusing on solutions? The 2016 elections offer us an opportunity to change or continue living in this misery. We believe Uganda will change for the better when we all vote to take part, to take responsibility - if we all come together for a purpose. We believe that collective strength will overpower our problems. We believe that we have the support needed for this change and above all we have the resources for change in this country. It is only this relationship that can get rid of this oppressive government that has kept you suffering for 25 years and, eventually start the progress we need. It is this process that can get the economy moving so that we can create jobs for our children.
