    “DIDN'T you think you were violating government laws by buying equipment and donating it?” Parliament CHOGM probe committee lead counsel Tom Kazibwe, to ICT Permanent Secretary Jimmy Samanya.

    “I further warn our people against adultery, promoting enmity and smoking cigarettes. All these are sinful acts before Allah,” Gulu district Khadi Alhaji Musa Khalil, warning people during Idd day prayers last week.

    “We believe there is no need for passports to cross to and from Southern Sudan and Uganda. Let us move freely now that we want to rebuild the lives of the people who suffered from the war,” Southern Sudan President Salvar Kiir, during a tour of Moyo border areas with President Yoweri Museveni.

    “When Ssekono (Vincent) left office, he said they should not be paid. No sooner had he reached the bottom of the stairs than someone conspired and paid the firm,” Chairman of the Parliament Accounts Committee, about CHOGM funds paid to Prome Consultants.

    “People think that we (women) are becoming problematic because we are opening up. They want us to be silent because domestic violence is considered a private affair,” Tina Musuya, executive director of the Centre for Domestic Violence Prevention, about violence against women.

    “Not that I support stealing of public funds but it is this kind of politics of threats and vengeance that caused Mugabe to cling to power in Zimbabwe,” city mayor and DP presidential hopeful Nasser Sebaggala, about opposition leaders who threaten to revenge against the ruling NRM if they come to power.

    “When you go home, you find youth playing mweso (a local board game) in trading centres. When they fill your compound, are they the market or are you the market?” Independent MP Ben Wacha, during the Land Bill debate last week.
