Kabakumba Masiko
AFTER addressing the press in English, several government officials are always asked for a Luganda version of their message for the sake of Luganda bulletins.
On several occasions, the officials, even though they are not Baganda, struggle hard to explain the information but after complaining that nobody ever asks them to speak in their local languages.
But surprisingly, Bunyoro’s Princess Kabakumba Labwoni Masiko recently refused to grant an interview to two journalists who asked her to explain her message in Runyakitara.
The minister kept shouting: “Kwaha, kwaha, kwaha,†which means “No†in Runyoro. Is she sure she knows her language?
Scared Onek
IF there is anyone scared of going to hell it is energy minister Hillary Onek. He recently amused mourners at the burial of his brother-in-law Mzee Bulasio Musoke at Bukasa in Mukono.
The soft spoken politician confessed that it will be hard for politicians, like him, to go to heaven due to the many lies they at times tell.
It is widely accepted that prevention is better than cure, Mister Minister you know what to do if you want to go to heaven.
Surprisingly, Onek is unopposed in his constituency and is bound to come back to Parliament.
Kiggundu's ringtone
UNLIKE other people whom you call and nearly switch off thinking the recipient is in a discothèque because of the new connecting tune, Electoral Commission chief Eng. Badru Kiggundu’s phone tune is calm and welcoming.
Once the call goes through, one is welcomed by a soft Arabic tune which goes on until he picks. Is it because of the Ramathan period or is it that Kiggundu is a devout Muslim?
Even when journalists visit the EC headquarters every Wednesday, they must pray. Happy Ramathan Kiggundu.
