No more ceasefire!<br>“There is no more ceasefire. There is no more ceasefire zone. Our forces have occupied the ceasefire area. We are now conducting a cordon, search and destroy operation. Whoever wants to come out can call Mrs Bigombe.

No more ceasefire!
“There is no more ceasefire. There is no more ceasefire zone. Our forces have occupied the ceasefire area. We are now conducting a cordon, search and destroy operation. Whoever wants to come out can call Mrs Bigombe. Anyone who wants to talk will have to do it outside Uganda,” tough-talking UPDF spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza signalling the resumption of hostilities after the seeming collapse of the peace talks.

I recruited him
“I recruited Kiiza Besigye into the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces, but I wondered when I heard that he wanted the top job before I, who recruited him, could even think about it myself,” Minister of Defence and Attorney General Amama Mbabazi accusing former Presidential Candidate Kiiza Besigye of just being power- hungry without having the qualities of a good leader.

It is Mbabazi’s turn
“Amama Mbabazi is being groomed to succeed President Yoweri Museveni. Mbabazi, the Minister for Defence and Attorney General is being assigned a lot of responsibilities to prepare him for the top job. So, you should support Museveni for the third term as you wait for the turn of your son, Mbabazi,” Kampala District RDC, Stanley Kinyata addressing a congregation that attended the installation of Canon Catherine Musinguzi at Kihembe in Kanyantorogo, Kanungu District.

Bukenya has failed
“Bukenya has tried to conquer our people but he has failed. He called us to his home but when we sought advice from the Democratic Party (DP) Secretary General, we were advised not to go without an official invitation” Mohammad Kisekka, DP Kakiri Branch’s Secretary General after snubbing an informal invitation to Vice President Gilbert Bukenya’s home.

Simply hang them
“Defilement is easy to stop by hanging a teacher (death penalty) in Luzira Prison. Hanging will serve as a deterrent to these defiler teachers,” President Museveni
addressing a youth conference at St. Emmanuel Cathedral Rushere in Mbarara.
