Mayanja: Why I Quit - Mayanja, now practising law again, pictured during his political days with Basil Bataringaya, leader of the opposition Democratic Party. Looking back at Abu Mayanja's career one cannot help feeling slightly disappointed. He has never quite fulfilled the promise. He says this is because he was unable to get out of Buganda Politics into a national arena. Is one of the secret reasons for his resignation a desire to do just this? Does he want to find a way into central government? And if he tries will he not suffer precisely the same fate as John Kakonge? The future alone can answer these questions.
