US secretary of state should apologise to Ugandans

    I gravely condemn the Uganda incumbent president and his allies for ballot stuffing, violence , bribery, heavy military presence and involvement in the just concluded presidential polls. Its to my dismay that despite broad day acts in Manafa, Adjumani , Bukedea and Bulambuli, among others America and European Union Election observers would conclusively purport that the elections were free and fair and went ahead to congratulate the self imposed president announced by his own electoral commission. I observed keenly how the process was conducted and as early as 16th Feb 2011 two days before the elections there were reports in seguku which is located within kampala that Preticked ballots were already in circulation. That is the plain truth.

    As a democrat ,I would rather agree with some one who says that "Museveni would have won even if he did not rig". this was evident but the mere fact that all these incidents were reported in various parts of this country, I will not stand to see these acts proceed in Uganda , even if it takes standing alone, true patriots will live to condemn this act if we must become a better country and better Ugandans. Its upon this background therefore that I monumentally stand out to ask the us secretary of state Hilary Clinton to to apologize to Ugandans who are in hospitals, and burial functions and hundreds of candidates who invested their money in campaigns hoping that the process will be free and fair but not a pre-determined result for polls.
    Uganda deserves better,
    "For God and My country"
