If the truth be told, the church in Uganda has never had it better. Today, churches are richer than never before and their leaders are living a superstar style.

Even when other businesses have been feeling the financial strain, churches have been getting full house because churches these days have the best marketers in the business.

This year we are celebrating 50 years of Independence. Every year in the last half a century, governments of Uganda have been allocating money through the annual national budget, to all the ministries for the purpose of development and, for provision of social services.

To ensure that these government objectives are achieved, they put there ministers, permanent secretaries, undersecretaries, senior assistant secretaries, commissioners, executive officers, heads of government authorities, many local government leaders, and, security organs.

We the people of Uganda have no doubt that the politicians agitating for term limits for all our elected leaders mean well for our country. We have no reason to doubt that they will ultimately seek the wishes of the people they represent in parliament and when they do, they will respect those wishes of all Ugandans.

We have argued before that the Uganda we want is one in which we want to have, among other things, leaders we elect come, serve for a nationally agreed period of time, and they leave paving the way for others to come in and also serve . We want a country where all qualified Ugandans have equal opportunity to serve their country and their people without having to bribe for the opportunity to do so.

Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda states as follows:  (1) All power belongs to the people who shall exercise their sovereignty in accordance with this Constitution.

(2) Without limiting the effect of clause (1) of this article, all authority in the State emanates from the people of Uganda; and the people shall be governed through their will and consent.

(3) All power and authority of Government and its organs derive from this Constitution, which in turn derives its authority from the people who consent to be governed in accordance with this Constitution.
