Kulyennyingi, by M.B. Nsimbi, Chapter 2, Part 3

The forging of blood brootherhoods had brought many people reliable relationships. People now began to scheme against people they called their friends. In murderous scheming against their friends were those who climbed the ladder [? ababawendulira] by murder and theft. Thieves known as bakkondo proliferated in Uganda and murdered people in their homes and in the streets so that they could take their things. The malice and cruelty of the gun-toting bakkondo powerfully undermined the good old custom of running to help at the sound of an alarm, and people were exterminated in their homes like mice. The bakkondo brought terror into the streets. Drivers grew fearful of giving lifts to pedestrians, men or women; walkers too were afraid to be picked up by drivers whom they did not know well. Pedestrians began to drive cars and rushed into the countryside, even at night, and drivers started to speed up whenever they saw people they did not know in the roads.
The extreme craving for money threw many people out of good discipline and brought them to:
1. Overcharging
2. Concealing things they had to sell
3. Lying and fraud
4. Taking [lit. "eating"] bribes
5. Jealousy
6. False accusations
7. Failing to carry out responsibilities at work
8. Stealing possessions
9. Prostitution
The bakkondo and the murderers caused people to pick up and move to new places which they staked with signs: "This place is So-and-So's." Those who were able to built fences around houses and kept them locked up night and day so that a person who needed to commune with them could not reach them quickly. Yet guarding themselves behind gates did not protect them from the bakkondo and murderers who would apprehend them in the streets and yank them wailing from their cars. Others seized them at the gates of their compounds like hawks seizing chickens.
Bakkondo and murders forbid people from walking at night: he who had an extremely sick relative or a wife going into labor waited for morning and only then took her to the doctors. Bakkondo prevented shopkeepers from keeping their wares at their shops overnight. In Kampala, store goods were stored away every afternoon and brought out again every morning. You had to feel sorry for the struggling shopkeepers!
These things, astonishing but true, were part of Kulyennyingi's surroundings during his adolescence.
