Okay what has Gaetano done this time and why are the honourable Members of Parliament, as they like to call themselves, on his case?

Listen here TB, my MP, also Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, we elected her for a purpose. We elected her as our MP so that she could look after our welfare, fight for our rights, give us electricity and create jobs for us as well as build us roads and schools.

So, I guess you are telling me that since she became an MP, she has done nothing at all?

I really don’t know what she has done. We sent her to parliament to be sensible. Now, all she and her friends have been doing is uttering nonsense –– nonsense in that they say Gaetano cannot be an AIDS role model.

But why can’t Gaetano not be a role model?

Sarah Kiyingi, MP, says that he cannot because during his stint in the Big Brother house, he failed to abstain from sex and jumped into bed with a woman at first sight and played live sex on television.

Perhaps this Sarah Kiyingi woman is jealous and has also been disgruntled since President Museveni fired her from her job as state minister for internal affairs?

I think so too. I also think that whenever Sarah watched Big Brother, she wished she was Abby and that it was she frolicking between the sheets with Gaetano. Who would not jump at the chance of being seen cavorting between the sheets on live television with Gaetano Kaggwa?

Apart from Kiyingi, who else has been de-campaigning our Gaetano?

There is an MP who I have never heard of –– Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye from Sheema North, and another one, Kagimu Kiwanuka. Even State Minister of Ethics and Integrity, Tim Lwanga has once again been uttering his anti-Gaetano non-senesicals.

Maybe all these MPs, including Kadaga, are also jealous that Gaetano and his fellow former Big Brother housemates are icons, role models and known throughout out Africa.

You’re right. Beyond his constituency, nobody has heard of Tim Lwanga. And that Kiyingi woman, apart from feeling war because she used to be a minister, she is now an MP who is past her ‘sell-by-the-date’ –– desperately craving for attention!

I am also surprised that even Kadaga can be party to all this stupidity. How dare she go calling Gaetano and his fellow former housemates “a total disgrace?” It is she and her fellow MPs who are a disgrace!

That is a harsh comment to make don’t you think?

No I don’t think so. MPs are just a confused bunch of people whose only contribution to society is trying to get on the front pages of the newspapers and making noise about their pensions and salaries.
