When the same big man is at the top for long, and was not the party founder, it seems he needs more patronage to entrench himself, and his long stay at the top means graft networks are not interrupted Almost a week to the day Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF congress gave its long-ruling 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe sweeping powers to handpick its top officials, in Kampala Uganda's long-ruling NRM gave 70-year-old President Yoweri Museveni similar powers to appoint the party's secretary general. When things like this happen, we tend to resort to the usual TIA! .
