The Democratic Party president general, Norbert Mao has said that for the last 27 years president Museveni has been trying to sell to him a ‘commodity’ labeled ‘the National Resistance Movement (NRM)’ saying that the product is good for all Ugandans to ‘buy’.

“On radio and TV talk shows, in phone calls, emails, and person to person communications president Museveni and his allies in government successfully failed to sell to him NRM ideology,” Mao told the DP members at the party head offices in Kampala on Thursday.

Mao says that one day Museveni told him that he (Museveni) was the only good man for all the years Uganda has had presidents and that NRM was the best political organisation the country has had ever since.

But Mao says that a product that does not immediately sell at its launch and needs over 27 years of marketing before its leaders convince customers must be defective.

And it gets worse. He says that the same product was once bought and returned by some of the marketing officers. The very people (read politicians) that sold NRM to Ugandans have either gone underground or abandoned it and apologized publically to Ugandans.
