Mbabazi advises Besigye
If presidential aspirant Col. Kizza Besigye wants to return to medical practice, he is free. Defence minister Amama Mbabazi recently told journalists in Kampala that, “The Movement Government is democratic and that is why Besigye is free to return to his profession after we have defeated him on February 23, because there is no doubt about that. We are going to win.â€
“The hallmark of this Government has been tolerance irrespective of one’s political views,†he added.
The power of the vote
If you are a politician, never joke with the power of the vote. The vote can make people do all sorts of things. By the vote power, Nakawa parliamentary candidate Fred Ruhindi has become a linguist. Ruhindi has, among several languages, also learnt Luo. To prove his efficacy in the language, he used Luo to ask his electorate for votes. He wrote on his posters Bola kwir, a Luo word meaning “vote for meâ€.
He is competing against Uganda Young Democrat Kenneth Kakande and independent candidate Francis Balimwezo.
Fagil Mandy irked
Education consultant Fagil Mandy says the education system has been spoilt by unethical and morally perverted lecturers. He recently said lecturers allow students to enter lecture rooms without knickers.
“There will not be discipline where students walk into lecture rooms without knickers. That is hooliganism!†Mandy, a former commissioner with the education ministry, said.
Although a busy man, Mandy advised youth during their national conference in Kampala recently to invite him to their schools as a disciplinarian, adding that he would meet his fuel and meal costs.
Beggars scare don
Makerere University don Prof. Oweyegha Afunaduula wants everyone in the countryside to attain education and get employed to reduce over-dependence. Perhaps he will not fear going to his village because of beggars mobbing him. Speaking to youth at Makerere University recently, Afunaduula said, “My people in Busoga think I can solve all their problems. And if I must go there, I have to go with a lot of money. They have even stopped me from going to the village.â€
