New MPs
There is a new crop of MPs who have started using their heads and not their stomachs to argue out certain issues. I am impressed by Henry Musasizi's analysis: "This is a Ugandan and not an NRM Parliament". That independence means one is not a sycophant.

Free cars
A parliamentary commissioner is quoted to have said that Parliament was "in a dilemma" over getting free cars! Why do MPs want free cars? Those who want cars should buy them from their own pockets.

Salaries
When I read about what MPs earn and their output, bearing in mind the minimum qualification of a Ugandan MP, I begin to think that Uganda belongs to politicians! How are civil servants going to be convinced that they are not third rate citizens?

Tamale Mirundi
Presidential press secretary Tamale Mirundi admits that President Museveni appointed him on "welfare grounds" so that Mirundi can look after his children. Lucky man! Is Mirundi the only parent who cares about his children's welfare?
Peter
Migingo
The ownership of Migingo Island (one acre) seems to hold the key to life and death for Uganda and Kenya! If such non-issues can generate such heated debate, how will the East African political federation succeed?
