A call for new leadership and genuine transformation in Samia Bugwe Central

By Ouma Patrick — Aspiring Member of Parliament, Samia Bugwe Central (SBC)

Leadership should not be rotated among the same familiar names — individuals who have either held office or operated closely within the circles of the political class. Despite their long stay in or around power, the challenges that continue to cripple our community remain unaddressed — and in many cases, have only grown worse.

Our youth are still struggling to find employment. Our farmers continue to toil without reliable markets. Our schools are under-equipped, and our health centres lack even the most basic supplies to serve our people with dignity. Roads that connect our villages remain in poor condition, and families continue to suffer in silence. One must ask: where has the agenda for real transformation been all this time?

Leadership is not about longevity in politics — it is about results. It is about vision, compassion, and commitment to service. The people of Samia Bugwe Central deserve leaders who rise above rhetoric; leaders who see leadership not as an opportunity for personal enrichment, but as a sacred duty to lift others.

The coming election offers us a defining moment — a chance to end the cycle of recycled promises and stagnant progress. We must begin to think differently: to evaluate those seeking our vote not by their titles or affiliations, but by their ideas, integrity, and genuine commitment to the common good.

If we continue to vote the same way, we will continue to live the same way. Real change will only come when the people of SBC decide that enough is enough — when we resolve to give a chance to new, honest, and visionary leadership that puts people before politics.

My appeal to the people of Samia Bugwe Central is simple: let us choose progress over politics, unity over division, and truth over deception. Let us build a new chapter where our children inherit opportunities, not excuses.

Together, we can rise — not as followers of camps or names, but as a community united by purpose, truth, and hope.

> Author’s Note:

Ouma Patrick believes that leadership is a sacred duty to serve, not a privilege to exploit. He advocates for accountable governance, youth empowerment, and inclusive development in Samia Bugwe Central.

Beyond Regime Change: Why Africa Needs a Mindset Revolution

OPINION: Africa Must Move Beyond Regime Change Politics By Ouma Patrick, Aspiring Member of Parliament – Samia Bugwe Central Crown Media East Africa For decades, African politics has been trapped in a single, loud narrative: regime change. Citizens are told that their problems — poverty, unemployment, corruption, weak services — will magically disappear once a new group of leaders replaces the old. But Africa’s experience shows a harsher truth: regime change alone does not deliver transformation. Across the continent, opposition leaders gain popularity by condemning the failures of sitting governments. Yet once some of them enter the same systems they criticized — appointed to high offices, given access to state resources, or absorbed into government structures — they often become part of the elite they once fought. Their lives change; the lives of ordinary citizens do not. This political cycle has produced a troubling dependency mindset. Citizens have been conditioned to wait fo...
