Money and Power in Uganda's 1996 Elections
Abstract
Though
Uganda's
1996
election
appeared
satisfactory,
this
was
only
inform;
the
intriguing
influence
of
money,
material
considerations,
and
deliberate
use
of
the
power
of
incumbency
to
influence
the
outcome
of
the
elections
corrupted
the
electoral
process
and
distorted
its
outcome.
This
phenomenon
which
I
have
called
monetisation
of
elections',
debased
the
principles
of
liberal
democracy,
and
condoned
corruption
as
a
political
virtue.
This
development
could
easily
subvert
the
democratisation
process
and
create
grounds
for
a
legitimacy
