The biggest clientele of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is Africa. The ICC investigates and prosecutes war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Electoral Commission has extended the registration exercise by another one month. This goes on up to mid June this year. It is my humble appeal that we all go out to register, because if we don't, we shall all get the leaders we deserve.

It is not enough to say that you support a given candidate when you have not registered to elect the candidate. Those of us who are tired of Museveni and his group can only bring about real change if registered and denied him the ballot. One vote can cause a difference.

The Government launched The National Development Plan (NDP) on September 19, 2010 in Kampala.

The theme of the conference, that preceded the official launch, was "Transforming the Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous middle class within 30 years".

The NDP is replacing the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP), another engine of socio-economic transformation that was supposed to have seen Ugandans much richer and healthier by now.
