They Said It...

There is nothing like refusing to obey orders in the Police Force. An order is an order and I do not see how a police personnel can refuse to be transferred to serve in a new location. They either comply and report to their new places or have their salaries withheld — Inspector General of Police, Katumba Wamala, warning police officers against defying transfer orders.* * *Why have the bishops chosen to speak now, after 28 years? This is raising issues out of nothing. Their demands are annoying to the Muslim community — Professor Badru Kateregga, Uganda’s former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, commenting about the demand by the Church of Uganda bishops that Uganda withdraws from the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).* * *I am sure those foreign investors who came to Africa have seen that the reality of doing business in Africa is not as bad as the reputation given to our continent would suggest — President Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania speaking at the launching of the new Commonwealth Private Investment Initiative (CPII) during the Commonwealth Biennial Summit in Australia.* * *I cannot say it was a free and fair election because I was competing with the State and not (Asuman) Kyafu — Patrick Bageya, the Iganga District Council Chairman, blaming the Vice President Dr Wandira Kazibwe and Information minister Basoga Nsadhu for his defeat during the Local Council 5 polls.* * *Social security is not like Uganda Commercial Bank or Greenland. Social security is the basic minimum that any country can have for its people. The government has no intention of privatising National Social Security Fund—Zoe Bakoko Bakoru, Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Development, at a conference.ends
