7:36 am
so i would say i would say for the public there are 2 frontrunners the. president will save any incumbent with that to 5 years and then they is. most commonly known as will be a lion who was only 4 years old when president 70 became president. out of the pool at the. last run as in the risks. of. either necessary or. i'm just looking at the present seventies twitter feeds and counting down to election day and one of the critical issues that he seemed to be using to appeal to the candles for the citizens will be securing the future that with christmas 70 you
7:37 am
continue to have a secure future it's some difficult to be distracted by politics small town tonight now i want you to really focus on issues and beginning of our conversation is that the biggest campaign promise of the government is giving the people he got into a secure future. years records in different years ago that were in. this if instead you know i meant nobody mentioned. most of us are is nothing make an american and not given the basics sure restored or work like a variance or there are no updated there was no democracy no media well many tremendous journey of transformation of empowerment over the previously imagined a liaison with young people. the disabled. well we have been in that is the international community will want to continue on with the ridiculous
7:38 am
. so that we're going to look for somebody else and sure the future we do believe that a good day from foundation on which we can. tell you and so on. every indication is that you are a mystery is the preferred accredited former director of whedon's there may be a little noise in telling but that is the exit was i was going to when he spoke to the measure a lot of this just know who is going to win overwhelmingly the next president and the local governments are. conservative estimates 6070 percent 72 percent where i don't think we're going to be. from the current formation in the catapult operation in the country all right let me let me bring in joe here joe i'll be following your outreach via social media
7:39 am
uganda hands sorry major problems in 20 out recently one leadership to leadership 3 leadership critical issues as you approach election day if you think you know peeling to the ground in public what are they. gel ahead for. when i tell can you hear me critical mission is approaching. the general 44 action i saw you tweet out me any of the points any of them and i. can't. see my character. i'm back now so i don't know about that street specifically i say. 3 leadership leadership because i was going to be everything is revolving our leadership when you go to our host because there's no medicine giving back on the floor why but leaders because all of the people there full of all those who spend
7:40 am
billions of taxpayers' money government officials frank know for treatment and so little because on the whole the ordinary tax but leadership that you know sees our children studying and the trees in 202125 years later when additional mr 70 but he does that when you look at the economy these guys keep talking about progress oh my goodness if you like strongly reach the gulf between the rich and the poor it's so white so when you look at g.d.p. and you didn't back up into this it will show you that there's a bit of progress but he did be happy you know it means for years that somebody with extremely rich and poor there do it then good enough and so many young people are unemployed in this country when you look at the human rights record for even sick. of it is like a death sentence before being killed being maimed hundreds of people behind buys because one man once drew our country or iran for us we are saying no we can't do better we should do better within the 5 years same time some 7 has done what he's
7:41 am
been able to do but his dose of things that he has messed up corruption in this country is skyrocketing you know government officials. on a daily basis billions of taxpayer money that is meant to fix education and all these different things and so that's why i keep taking it back to west with leaders . of the give. themselves this can change it should be able to change. i'm just looking here and. they can't make this part of the conversation that we were having and he says the prison the 70s the night chewies truly tested strategic i was not thinking anywhere beyond. you take i'm not. yeah i think that's definitely one of the ways in the race for 7 and kills to people he said he appeals to set and kind of people who are drug.
7:42 am
pool will who are risk of us to think whatever we have now or that have this then you know take a chance what's the unknown but i wouldn't say those people are the my jury to be honest i think joel is saying there's lots of people who are disgruntled mister who are not open doors took and bowed in awareness haven't brought us from. failed states and all of that but why is talking about the change that have been wrought in the 19 eighties and nineties is not necessarily the simplest i think of us are people who feel that we have regressed to the ones who are on a you know on the revolutionary cause and we've since regressed so i think i would say yeah some people feel some people risk of us they don't want to risk what they were what they already have is visually people who are comfortable but there are also people who are also feel excluded and magnum ised in many many ways
7:43 am
economically as members of certain ethnic groups. people who do not see themselves are presented at all by the government is a government run by old men will very often do auld many things. you know the slowing down the intended closing social media oh you were you know that sort of i think it's not this is not a universal it's nothing and it was a perception for sure. i want to bring in a bell going to prosper lou who picks up media and your point about this being a young people's and next gen this is what he told us when he looked at who was running who were the potential candidates adolescent about when. they were excited to see that surely you have come to the highest office of the last president is obvious so you look out. for the fish as they are used for their kind and you know what. the title is and so people are excited to hear all of his people and they're
7:44 am
all going to be pushed into a lawsuit or a statement and really excited whenever you see or listen to these people taught. them whatever he will become. yes we have so much activity happening on each of i want to open up some of the questions and said i'm with you so david any sense how the postponing activities like vote counting insured to be safe and fair by the pilots here any chance for well let me ask that of you very direct and a brief response please. well 1st of all at the time of the mission who was transparent through the little commission of this were to send their executives. at the national never to be forming station level trillions the president wants aborting started closest at 4 i'm voting is down but the counting is
7:45 am
a band in the open i've been calling station. and as i said that there is as announced at the polling station before the ticket before turning i to the district level so that because i was with the media we expect and it was in a book and it would have sufficient number on the label agency to take care of this is not for the president with with with a book with a watching i thought diligent would be greeted. with a little i have no doubt about that. so. yeah susan what is interesting here and there was no need for some time to look at my laptop here john i'm going to go straight to the e.u. says one wanted to get down to election limiting polls international scrutiny and that's because they say the last time they looked at uganda's elections they weren't happy the it was free and fair joe how come i think that this election
7:46 am
general the 14th the number of people who fronted the thoughts that went to various candidates they will be accurate. oh elections are very. there is a lot of intimidation but happens on a daily basis. and you see an election is a process it's not just an event so we're talking about 40 but it began a long time a war then it will be 14 and thereafter it's an entire process it begins with one side dishes for example waited for within our laws and if somebody is the zealots just run for president they can go across the country but we whine trying to do that and they stopped and they said no you want more out there as we have before community which now our government uses these as an excuse to secure the opposition people which is you would call that you're. trying to protect them from community and so it's an entire process course of decisions do not happen on nomination did opposition candidate was bundled up any of us who have been to him and so on and it's been that process been happening people being cute people i meet people you
7:47 am
know and so as we head to 14th and there's too many questions you know to issuance that so it was where they were for example things were broken and the e.c. said you see because of your aunt's that's why this is broke but this is just wrong and so this points on the board all these different things so all of what saying that you see the media will be there and so on but government and they literally should have come out to say we're not allowing cameras i polling stations and we're saying wait a minute why you should be caressed what i'm trying to hide or you know what you're going to other x. . what exactly. i can i think there's i don't know i hear. you know briefly in a few. go ahead lydia read about a month come as at polling stations i mean if they were to commission has clarified it's not allowed within the cordoned off what's an area but journalists will still
7:48 am
be able to terms of their action and this time people you know. the e.u. teams that are no longer in the elections because. ugandans are very familiar you will be. documented or told they were to wrongdoing and nothing was done about it now how many every election since $26.00 to 2006 has been a challenge in court and the courts have and the court has made your record mendacious most of which i just did not under was talking about the procedural things that will happen on election day as they are on but in practice they don't necessarily happen that way in i live just about 6 kilometers from the electrical mission in 26 to in my polling station. at 3 pm and work is telling you that then wanting ends at 4 pm well when are people going to avoid so i don't i think it's
7:49 am
one thing to put things on there but it's quite another to actually ensure that those things happen and when things fail to happen as they sure remedy is you know that what does have remained. a correction is made to our void those things being repeated which we haven't seen so far so i really understand people don't feel like this is this is going to be a fair election i think we haven't seen sufficient commitment from the government to make it fair and it does this certainly doesn't help that unfairness benefits the regions and it it. if you have been fooling uganda selections of his human side he gandhi you will notice that some of the opposition candidates have had quite a challenging time i'm not knightly i want to present you candidate will whine just a little while ago when he was campaigning and what happened to him. i'm about to get 30 of. my girls are.
7:50 am
going to the really. big. want. so i'm wondering often why why a presidential candidate ace wearing a helmet and a flak jacket and in an armored vehicle campaign but you to me has an even tougher questions here lou and maria says censorship is our biggest problem. and it's the biggest issues that. are killing innocent ugandans. how would you respond to lines of questioning we're in the 1st one to have to say i'm very glad that india has the bank mr joel said in the train quote claims that if there isn't a turnout there is
7:51 am
a limit or should i say and indeed the regulations that come in they're not allowed to. station it is to protect the integrity of this equip. so that nobody dresses who or how they got how is what i'm getting now. the claim is. leading in that there is no way to verify it with inhibiting is credible again is not correct because i think it is the onus of the kind need to choose credible. i just wonder if you distort the truth. in your more than the sending of it was it a teachable moment or the election they were going to be sending of their words from their respective countries however they don't want to send observers from where we did their mission this time were they in that mission in uganda i had been to see it at the national organising committee of this election as
7:52 am
a spokesperson and got me well now brigid in your little from there were 60 women were granted but they didn't there was that was from their research a commission in the stuff that's already been un obviously because of the fear desk of 2 of sending their. stuff people get to uganda where they don't know. now let us work we could to the issue of whether there's. no point just remember if you. lose your job to judge is it time for a man because i don't even see why yes how. she went when everyone speaking this is what really is a present you can't make haven't read flack jacket and helmet to ringback. as because of that in very special kind of sick way to go once happening for a cause you the police does too and when your kid is it more than
7:53 am
a 100 times that they would have called that this campaign this election to the face of the low to bring the country to this earth to stand still civil disobedience in the hope they can make the menace in your bed of course whole and hopefully overthrow the runway i just want to push it because we only have so much trying to invent is eternal so. they wearing. some of it is a drama they want to get sympathy from people a cure for the media and international observers so we want to look at them to believe that kids are too old to follow. you're going. to be able to care whether just. really and those who are better than many attempts. are drug to go on the right sick as you can see these paint cans it's very painful seeing the city just. means your girls are limits everybody does i told her and if
7:54 am
you are behind you with force. i don't go home i just go. look it's very interesting to hear in i'm an old man like a foreigner corner on t.v. luxury in international television and to realize that is that you know that so it's demeans and out of this meeting in many attempts on both the ones life we just saw a video there yesterday miss lee numerous times they have shown that somebody very close to him created targeting him and so he's trying to shield himself or not want to say is that my candidate but no one said he's going to defy all the laws which was that we talking about because this is a company should you she was out there to convey an industry that is meant to be in and the police says no you cannot he goes to speak at radio stations and they pull him out police officer so is this raid including $1000.00 even when he's on radio but there's a question i wanted to ask a former port au about you know yourself so he says is that
7:55 am
a christian or his examples and all of that but he see all the reports that this you can produce and evolve to the whole and that's why they're saying you know what her brother will be part of this but it's not just your puzzle for no or no that's a good country didn't issue out the command center of them to try and sanitize our elections the government of uganda which you speak has not implemented even one so well one who are around so was and say yes we are bridging them and they are around but of what use is it for you to accredit them they are on the make recommendations and you don't upset that. every community. yes levy. i mean that's shocking that you think that the government spokesperson would say that quote trickle renditions quote you know a court ruling kindly rejected or taken that was shocking we're talking about the
7:56 am
highest court in the earn your grand but i do have a question for a different question when you talked about ensuring the credibility of the voting process you talked about. condit's agents credible evidence and all of that but i'm not a candidate i'm not an agent's candidate i'm just one direct to cast my vote i live just 6 kilometers from the electoral commission is 3 pm my ballot. as you know we had one minute had initial article question ok what if you don't resolutely until another succumbs sense oh my brother the world briefly france and russia will be a little more bullied by looking at areas is not the dementia in the lecture that limitless what he had calling station as you have a. misjudgment this is who we. want to be isn't this rule by a football club we'll be good even if it was after midnight and so that's good news
7:57 am
if you're in this sure but you form you vote. all right so i guess we have so many we have so much conversation happening on the cheap this was of a time we. showed to be looking ahead to what may happen in uganda com voting day on january the 14th flung joey you cheap us thank you for your excellent questions i would have a look here back at my laptop because there are so many issues that we haven't yet discussed but there are stories that running right now on al-jazeera dot com phrasebook shuts down ugandan accounts ahead of general election studies a big story has you'll you choose has your online connectivity in uganda has not slowed down that is a big story and i also want to look at my colleague craftily in the song if she is tweeting as she is reporting from camp colleague who will see on al-jazeera dot
