Parliament yesterday absolved Finance Minister Ezra Suruma and Security Minister Amama Mbabazi of any wrongdoing in the controversial Shs11 billion NSSF-Temangalo deal, but the decision was marked by a protest walkout by the opposition legislators.

This is a political circus in Kampala that passes for parliamentary democracy. The parliament even doesn't seem to agree on, let alone understand, the basic rules of procedure in parliamentary debates if you called this a debate. Irony of all ironies that it is this Latigo with the Okellos who, after grabbing power from the elected government of their cousin Obote, handed the country to despotic Museveni during the 1985 Nairobi Peace Talks that were rightly called Jokes. These Ugandan fools have come full circle. It is chicken coming home to roost the Ugandan style. Now what is the oppositions going to do when they see corruption staring at them with impunity and all the country watching. These thugs in NRM are daylight robbers.
More contemporarily today there are similar talks or more appropriately jokes about crisis at the mineral rich eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The same actors are at it again. Museveni (his mother was Tutsi from Rwanda) and his Tutsi cousins in Kigali, Bujumbura, and Goma have wrecked enough havoc in the Great Lakes Region. It is high time the international community stepped up to the plate and stopped this fascistic destabilization agenda at empire building that has killed millions upon millions of people. For Congo watch out for these thugs: notice how they have established an entrenched dictatorship in Uganda. It is the same actors (Kagame was a general in Museveni's Army before he matched to Rwanda) hell bent on the same agenda of building a Tutsi empire. Soon they will, as they marched to Uganda's capital Kampala during similar talks or jokes, march to Kinshasa's outskirts if they aren't there already.
Little Rwanda may enventually swallow the big DR Congo. That would make the late Kabila Sr - the father of current Congo's president - turn in his grave since he used to avow that it was an improbable impossibility.
Rwanda (and Uganda with simlar problems with LRA) is using the existence of Hutu militia in Eastern Congo as an excuse to destabilise DR Congo with the express intention of establishing a Tutsi counsin in power in Kinshasa.
