M7 the baptist
PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni does not run short of names or words to describe politicians on the opposition. He has all along used all sorts of names to describe them, ranging from poisonous mushrooms to night dancers.
During the Liberation Day celebrations at Kololo on Thursday, he unleashed a new description. “These people in the opposition are like he-goats that are trying to tamper with a sharp axe,” he said, amid cheers from the crowd.

Kyanjo advises
Makindye West parliamentary aspirant Hajji Hussein Kyanjo thinks his competitors lack the qualities and initiative to lead the people.
He advised them to try their talents elsewhere to develop the constituency.
“My competitors are good, but lack the scientific initiative that I have in leadership. They should, therefore, put their effort in other areas that would support me in developing Makindye West,” Kyanjo advised. He said his competitors could not revamp the constituency currently dogged by slums and poor sanitation.

Kinobe a blessing
It looked like a very bad thing for many Movement supporters after Katikamu North MP James Kinobe failed to go through the primaries.
But as it turns out, it is proving to be a blessing in disguise. As the many Movement MPs, who are also the leaders of the organisation go out to campaign in their constituencies, it is Kinobe who is doing most of the work at Kyadondo. If he is not receiving defectors from a rival party, he is talking to kakuyege groups from all over the country. One of the leaders in NRM was heard remarking, “It is a blessing that Kinobe never went through the primaries. Who would be at Kyadondo Road watching over the offices?”

Byaruhanga lost
Uganda is such a huge country that even people in the corridors of power can get lost just on the outskirts of the city.
Driving alone in a navy blue Pajero, President Yoweri Museveni’s special assistant on political affairs Moses Byaruhanga stopped at the junction near the Bahai Centre, saying, “ I am going to Kyanja.” He then tried to make a call on his phone. Apparently, his hosts had not directed him properly.
