I am ready to work with Museveni - Anywar

The Kitgum Municipality MP Beatrice Anywar, also known as ‘Maama Mabira' has said she is ready to work in President Yoweri Museveni's government if appointed minister.

"Any minute there is an opportunity, I will go to President Museveni with no regret. He is a great leader because he is tolerant. He is able to listen to some of us," Anywar said.

Last week, Anywar  an independent MP, formerly a member of the Opposition political party, Forum for Democratic Change  (FDC), shocked  Ugandans when she voted in support of the Constitution (Amendment) to lift the presidential age limit.

In an interview with journalists in Kampala, Anywar hailed Museveni for his leadership and tolerance.

"I will work with him pakalast, because my people want service delivery. I cannot get services from Col. Kizza Besigye, Amama Mbabazi or any other. My service delivery for the people of Kitgum Municipality and Acholi sub-region, where we also contribute to the treasury is in the hands of President Museveni," she said.
