preamble

in early eighties while museveni and his entourage were in the bush, they came with a document titled NRM Ten Point Program" which upon capturing power in 1986, they touted as a road map for Uganda and may be for Africa in general. it opened as follows: The Ten-Point Programme The National Resistance Council of the National Resistance Movement together with the High Command and Senior Officers of the National Resistance Army (NRA) under the chairmanship of President Yoweri Museveni have worked out proposals for a political programme that could form a basis for a nationwide coalition of political and social forces that could usher in a new and better future for the long-suffering people of Uganda. This proposal is now popularly know as the TEN-POINT PROGRAMME. Background 1. Democracy 2. Security 3. Consolidation of National security and elimination of all forms of sectarianism 4. Defending and consolidating National Independence 5. Building an independent, integrated and self-sustaining national economy 6. Restoration and improvement of Social services and the rehabilitation of the war ravaged areas 7. Elimination of corruption and misuse of power 8. Redressing errors that have resulted in the dislocation of sections of the population and improvement of others 9. Co-operation with other African countries in defending human and democratic rights of our brothers in other parts of Africa 10. Following an economic strategy of mixed economy. We want to revisit that document and try to measure museveni's (NRM's) performance against the movement's espoused 10 point program which the movement used to lie to the people of Uganda and the world at large about their "noble intentions" for the people of Uganda.
