Ministry asleep
“It seems the ministry of health has slept again. I have not been waking them up. It is the ministry of sicknesses, because their strategy is that you should be sick before you qualify for treatment but I want it to be a real ministry of health, which means you shouldn’t be sick. Many of these sicknesses are preventable. Cholera can be avoided,†Museveni said at the 15th anniversary of the JCRC, referring to the outbreak of cholera in Kampala.
Police grilled
“You are the people who always ask for evidence. Today I have you. You will not leave this room unless these documents are available to the committee. I am giving you two minutes to call your office,†PAC chairman Nandala Mafabi grilled the police accounting officers for failure to account for sh23b.
‘Shun conmen’
“I want to advise you not to accept men who want you because of our land. Just refuse them outrightly. That is not marriage but a way of grabbing our land. Land is the only thing we are left with,†Chua county MP Okello Okello, advising Acholi girls to guard against land grabbing.
Examiners for confinement
“The examiners will be accommodated at the designated centres until the marking exercise ends. It will not be like in the past, when for instance, if a person was from Makerere, they could go back home and then return on duty,†UNEB chief Matthew Bukenya said on safeguarding examination leakages during marking.
No pardon for LRA, says envoy
“Pardoning is unacceptable for Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) criminals who have been holding 1.6m people in the North hostage for 20 years. LRA leaders should face justice either in Uganda or at the ICC,†EU head of mission Vincent De Visscher said at his first visit to the north to assess the situation in the war-affected region.
