Former MPs
During the election of the Speaker and deputy Speaker of Parliament many former MPs and those who lost the race turned up. They were in the conference hall as they watched the election process. Some of them included Annet Mukabere, Sarah Kiyingi and Beatrice Byenkya Nyaikaisiki. When journalists tried to photograph them they refused vehemently yet they used to entice journalists to take their photos when they were still in the House. “Why are you taking our photos?†Nyaikaisiki barked. Mukabere and Kiyingi joined her and the journalists took off.
Pro-people Ken
Rubaga South MP John Ken Lukyamuzi, ‘the Man’ is one legislator who always obeys his conscience. Speaking to journalists at Parliament last week, Lukyamuzi said he would not allow the new parliament to pass 'anti-people laws'. “I cautioned the former Speaker not to pass bad laws like the Land Act, but he would not listen.But I think victory was ours because both the Land Act and the Act on Traditional Leaders have proved to be impossible to implement," he boasted.
Diplomatic row
During the European Union Day, many diplomats, ministers and MPs gathered at the residence of the European Union's ambassador to Uganda Roberto Ridolfi in Kololo. Ridolfi expressed worry about the walk-to-work campaign by the opposition but noted that the First Lady, Janet Museveni had won a landslide victory in her constituency. Janet Museveni, who was chief quest thanked the European Union for their support to Uganda. Ridolfi took time to congratulate her for winning the Ruhaama seat and added: “If I mention the number of votes she got, I might cause a diplomatic row.†This sent so many guests rocking with laughter.
Always in suits
The deputy principal of Makerere University Business School, Dr Samuel Ssejjaka, says his dress code has always been suits. He says when people dress in suits they are usually taken seriously. During a business seminar at Imperial Royale Hotel, Kampala, Ssejjaka said his family and relatives are very used to seeing him in suits when going to his office. But he said when he wears casual clothes his relatives become very concerned. He said: “Whenever I don’t wear a suit my relatives get worried and think I am not feeling well and inquire whether I am fine.†Hmmm!
