PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKE.

Comrades,I salute you.
The matter of concern on Uganda's table is the "handshake" slogan which I think should be critically handled by the general public.
In my local language,we have a saying "enkora birungi ebizimurirwa"
Literally meaning that he who works hard gets a penny. Yes,this happens when the whole subject has been critically emphasised.
Uganda as a republic,with its good people is one of the countries with many people leaving below the poverty line.
Its a country with less job opportunities as graduates flock streets with papers only to find stress waiting for them.
When we continue rewarding the already well off people,when shall the low developed people feel comfortable with life?
For all along,we have seen hand shakes being exercised differently.
Before the election of the speaker of parliament, very many members of the August house received money from the president. Was this not a handshake?
On regular basis,we have seen the president carrying money in sacks giving out to people,is this not a handshake too? Now,who is investigating the whole system?
I speak this after having realised that many members of parliament are not happy with the President's decision to give the people who saved and won a case against Uganda and secured enough for the country. At least,they had worked hard to gain that,but why do MPs get money to vote in favour of fake bills? This handshake should be handled with great emphasis,because if at all this amount was given to MPs,no one could be talking.
But on behalf of the common citizen,the taxpayer,this approach is not good because as citizens,accountability of our development is needed.
Our health sector is not up to standard,
Our schools are falling,
Teachers are crying g for salaries,
Doctors are lamenting,
Yet state house is secured always.
We have a reason to say " Mr president,do not waste our money on the already well off people,because we too need to come up like you people."
Orphans are crying for education but no one to help,
Widows are crying for help,only to be promised,
No poor person can contest to claim for his or her right,because we are silenced,
The 16billion handshake would have saved our people through microfinance,and the like.
Its now that a poor person is writing to lament on their behalf.
The plight of Ugandans should be for all,not a few,because I normally see everyone in the same voters register. Maybe,if we are to make two voters registers one for the rich,and another for the poor,there I would understand.
Because we are,the nation is?
Therefore,Mr president should help us and secure this money back.
By the way,those that received this money get monthly salaries which are even much more than a local person could get in 10000 years. Where are we heading?
I speak this with confidence that the common man shall live to resurrect before death.
