Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda politics July 19, 2017

Kinyamatama decided to make it a routine that once in a while she provokes the discourse on the forum on age limit issue.

As the country’s youth we should appreciate where each of us draws their attitude toward that great question of the day.

That great question should be settled by informed arguments and wooing and not “iron and blood”. Kinyamatama said.

Kinyamatama continued and said;”I support the removal of age limit because I know what is best for my rural constituents.”

You see.,The problem with town elite especially us on social media is that we don’t seem to appreciate why peasant communities vote the way they vote and why they choose to support what they support.

Today, I will tell you why the peasants in Rakai have chosen to support the removal of age limit.

First, let me disabuse the notion that removing age limit clause will bring about a life Presidency. That is simply a figment of people’s imagination.

We should not agitate for unfair political rule games from western countries (most if not all do not actually have age limits).

If our democracy is to grow, we need to remove all the bottlenecks and instead push for a level ground.

One such bottleneck is the edging out of Ugandans from contesting for Presidency just because they are past a certain age. That is not how political inclusion works.
