Prof. lugubrious!
People who work with Prime Minister Prof. Apolo Nsibambi
sometimes need to move with dictionaries to be able to grasp
what he is saying. While laying a foundation stone for Faulty of Commerce at the Makerere University Business School last Friday, he expressed gratitude that his name had been correctly spelt and added, “once the building is completed it will go a long way in dis-lugubriousing you.†The Makerere University V-C Prof. Livingstone Luboobi asked what that meant and Nsibambi answered, “opposite of lugubrious,†throwing the crowd into laughter.
Confident Balunywa
Makerere University Business School (MUBS) Principal Wasswa
Balunywa has a diploma in mind he does not want his students
to pursue. This is what he told a congregation attending MUBS’ 3rd Graduation on Friday, "The programmes we have here are developed in response to the needs and demands of the market carefully crafted from the analysis of the industry and the competence of the school. It is only products of MUBS that don’t pursue a “postgraduate diploma in
streetology". after completing here you don’t need that diploma because you get employment straight.â€
Wafuba irritated
While about 15,000-strong Police officers struggle to police the over
25 million Ugandans, some trivialities seem to irritate Ahmed Wafuba, the Police Commissioner in charge of private security and firearms control. He told a workshop in Kampala recently that at one time the force was directed to provide two guards and two escorts for every government minister but the force found it difficult to do so because some ministers had more than one spouse and needed four or six officers thus aggravating the problem of personnel in the force.
NRM ‘unthreatenable’
NRM Electoral Commission chief Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda seems to have unshakable confidence. When asked at a press conference recently if NRM members would not defect to other parties after failing in the primaries, he said. “If there is a word like unthreatenable in English, the NRM is a party that is unthreatenable, if you are looking for one. It is the only organised party in the country and moving out of it would be like moving out of organisation to disorganisation. None of our members would do that because they are assured of other responsibilities rather than parliament." FDC, open your ears wide.
