Unconfirmed reports that reached Uganda Correspondent News Desk last week suggests that increasingly, membership of the ruling NRM-O Party is fast becoming the hottest ticket in town.  The grapevine has that membership of the NRM now gives one a decisive edge in the daily struggles of unemployed Ugandans to get work in most government departments.  A young man who talked to us on condition of anonymity said before he and others were recruited to work for the National Identity Project, they first had to sign up and swear to vote for the NRM-O Party come the next general elections scheduled for February 2011.  Interesting times indeed!  Has anyone else faced such demands from people responsible for recruitment into government departments?  We would like to hear from you.
