Dream come true
Who would ever dream that one day people in Kampala would call their relatives in the villages and inquire about what is happening to the animals and crops? For President Museveni, this is a dream come true. Today with so many communication companies, he has no trouble communicating with the cattle keepers back home. In his New Yearâ€™s message, Museveni could not contain his glee. â€œThe other day, I was talking with my LC3 chairman who was in a banana plantation with a phone. When I am talking to the cattlekeepers, they also talk on phones,â€ he said. Talk of the power of communication!

Sebaggala sweats
If you want war with Kampala mayor Hajji Nasser Ntege Sebaggala, ask him to say the acronym â€˜FDCâ€™ (Forum for Democratic Change). Recently, while giving a speech at his sonâ€™s wedding Cobra Suleiman Sebaggala, the mayor struggled valiantly but in vain to pronounce the three letters. He was welcoming members of political parties. This is what he said: â€œI am happy NRM, DP, JEEMA, CP are all here. Even my friends from DFCUâ€¦.DFâ€¦DUâ€¦that one of Najjanankumbi are all present,â€ Sebaggala said sending guests into prolonged laughter. Try as he might, the poor mayor could not not say â€˜FDCâ€™. Oh dear!

Tough Kasamba
There is something new about MP Mathias Kasamba, the defence committee chairperson. This has left many of his colleagues wondering whether it is the nature of his responsibilities that has changed him or he is just being tough. Addressing journalists on the issue of rampant child sacrifice in Kampala, Kasamba proposed that they the should face a firing squad. In another address, he proposed that Government should continue pursuing rebel leader Joseph Kony and stop him from killing more people. One of the MPs wondered whether Kasamba has now become militaristic given the nature of the committee he is handling.

â€˜Seniorâ€™ MPs
Parliamentary procedures require a committee chairperson to hand over power to the incoming chairperson, including offices. Unfortunately many of the old committee chairpersons have refused to vacate offices saying they are senior MPs! The new chairpersons are operating in small congested offices. â€œI am a senior MP. I will not vacate this office,â€ a former committee chairman told journalists when he was asked why he was still using the office instead of handing it over to the new chairman. Alas!
