Grandpa I am very angry with you.

Disclaimer: This story about 85 year old Grandpa Hamudiamwe who is the chief of my village is pure fiction and any resemblance it might have to your own chief or your senile Grandpa or your own circus government is only a coinicidence. So all forms of intelligence should take it as such, a fictitious story which is a figment of my sharp imagination.

Grandpa Hamudiamwe is the fictitious chief of my village and for you to follow what I am going to say in this article, you could start by reading some of the articles in my archives that I wrote about him on this blog entitled:
1. Grandpa can't you see that your time is up.
2. Letter to Grandpa Hamudiamwe on Unity day
3. New Year letter to Grandpa

Dear Grandpa,

I have no time for greetings Grandpa, have to get straight to the main reason why I am writing this letter to you because I am livid with anger at the way you are allowing your "cronies" to ruin the little bit of respect that the villagers had left for you. Your inability to intelligently figure out that the actions of your cronies will sink the village deeper into the abyss that it is already in and your inability to stop them shows that your IQ has dropped drastically to very low levels. Grandpa you have completely lost it now, you have become senile and your doddering and gaga is going to make this village disappear not only from Google earth but in reality from being considered as a village by the whole wide world. I told you long ago before you had become senile that you have to step down from the chieftainship but you didn't listen to me, look now how you are not only embarrassing the villagers but destroying the village legacy. I knew that your becoming an imbecile while still on the throne would be ruinous to the village as those who purport to be your friends twist your mind pretending to be acting in your best interests yet their intention will be to fix you from within because of your refusal to handover power to one of them. Your cronies figure that since they all don't have the guts to tell you point blank to step down from the chieftainship position or mobilize the party to vote you out the only way they can deal with you is by destroying you while pretending to serve your interests. Grandpa lest your decrepit mind get it all wrong, my writing this letter to you is not because I am concerned with the way your cronies are messing with your mind and the little dignity that you have left. My concern is how their actions will adversely affect the village, maybe not immediately but in the long-term. It is this village that I am concerned about Grandpa. I love this village and all the villagers in it and my heart bleeds when I see you and your cronies using this village and its people to settle your scores. You and your cronies can squabble and declare cold war on each other, all you want, for all I care, but when the political dirty tricks you play on each other affect the welfare of the village and the villagers I become very concerned. I wouldn't care less if they ruin you because Grandpa you have become a liability to this village (because of the fact that you let your cronies violate the rule of law and disrespect property rights) but if in so doing they so much as touch on the lives of the ordinary villagers on the streets I will scream non-stop.

Anyway now that I have offloaded my frustrations, let me calm down and tell you exactly why I am ranting and raving like this. The matter that I wish to draw your attention to Grandpa is the recent specifying of one of the most successful businesses in the village which is listed on the stock exchange. There was a boardroom wrangle going on internally in the company and your government ministers chose to become the judge and the jury in the wrangle and intervene in favor of the Christian, without hearing both sides of the story. I know that the business acumen of you and your government ministers leave a lot to be desired but honestly didn't it ever occur to you how badly that would impact on investor confidence and the much needed foreign direct investment. If it had been the first time for such a mistake to happen I would understand but this same mistake happened years back in 2003 when your friends GG and PC went on a specifying spree targeting every black prominent business person in the village who was doing well. I strongly suspect that this move was part of an espionage plot by some of your so called friends to sabotage the village's economy. The businesses that were targeted where making a great significant contribution to the economy, to the GDP and their closure contributed heavily on the gradual decline of the economy to pathetic levels. The TM group of companies that was specified recently is one of the best companies in the village that managed to withstand the abnormally high hyper-inflation in the village in the past ten years and kept on making profits in spite of the ravaged economy. It is such companies that you and your government ministers should treat with high respect Grandpa because they are the ones which keep the economy running. This recent specification of the TM group of companies in the village makes me suspect that the espionage plot by some of your cronies to economically sabotage the village's economy is still going on. My suspicions are not based on this issue alone but also on the issue of the fresh wave of farm invasions and the chaotic new constitution-making process which are all issues that are further driving away investor confidence and FDI.

You will no doubt, Grandpa, appreciate that your inability to control your cronies some of whom are or were government ministers has been a sore point for the people of this village and is the main reason why the people of this village voted you out of power as from 2000 and every election after that. Had it not been for the rigging capabilities of your cronies you would have been in the archives of ex-chiefs by now.
The way you and your cronies are not upholding the rule of law and respecting property rights has many negative consequences for the village Grandpa. It makes it extremely difficult for the villagers to have confidence in you and your power sharing government. It makes it extremely difficult for other villages to respect this village or want to be associated with this village, be it on social or business grounds. The entire village under you leadership Grandpa has been severely compromised and it was your national responsibility to prevent that. Grandpa it is impossible to believe that all this assault at the village's economic progress since you signed the notorious power-sharing agreement is happening behind your back unless you are telling me that you have become so senile that you are no longer authorizing what goes on in this village and live someone else to do it for you. If you are the one authorizing all these dreadful moves after your senile brain is convinced to do so by your henchmen then I advise you to question and ponder if your henchmen are doing it for the good of the village which would improve your badly painted image or are doing it so as to further destroy the village and by so doing completely destroy the minute goodness that the villagers associate you with. From this far distance where I stand this could be a chieftainship takeover bid strategy that is so cleverly planned that to the mediocre minded brain or senile brain it would appear as if your henchmen are working for you, yet in actual fact they are working against you.

Let me conclude this letter by saying this again, "I wouldn't care less if your cronies declare a cold war on you Grandpa but if in so doing they so much as touch on the lives of the ordinary villagers on the streets I will scream non-stop and try to stop them with the only weapon I have, namely these writings on my blog."

Your sincere grand-daughter Stillwaters (the one you disowned for disagreeing with your methods of ruling)

P.S.
Grandpa what is that I hear about you taking back Professor JM into your confidence when he is the main culprit responsible for killing democracy in this village by coming up with undemocratic bills. I know that you don't give a damn about democracy but the majority of the village population love democracy Grandpa and if you want their support you have got to learn to let go communism and learn to embrace democracy. Grandpa JM as well as your cronies PC, GG, TM, IC and believe it or not your political henchman who has ambitions to takeover from you when you retire are the people who seem to be carrying out the espionage plot to sabotage the village and in so doing bring you down from the high throne with shame. If you doubt me just try to think back to the past actions of each of these people and the negative effect those actions had on the village. PC together with GG were behind the specifying of prominent businessmen in the village the result of which was the gradual collapse of the economy. JM and PC were responsible for coming up with undemocratic bills that promoted no rule of law in the country. IC was responsible for the notorious and inhuman, "Operation No Dirt" that made the world hate you Grandpa. TM is responsible for the most recent farm invasions that shouted to the whole world that property rights are not respected in the village and chased away investors from the village. And the henchman who wants you to handover the reins of power to him when you retire is the man behind the recent post-election violence against opposition members which made the world think that you were the devil incarnate. All these people's actions show that they had a hidden economic sabotage agenda. How you fail to see through their actions beats me Grandpa and convinces me that you surely has become senile. Please, just don't let your senile actions and reactions affect this village and its people.
