Is Mayor Ssebaana Kizito a cry-baby?
TB, it has been a long time since you last talked idly about Ssebaana Kizito. Now what has he done to warrant us talking about him? Has he finally fixed all the roads in the city?

Has he improved rubbish collection? Has he done something that we can finally be proud of?
Sadly, there is nothing good to say about him. Ssebaana has been acting like a spoilt kid, who has been denied ice cream by his parents in that he threw the mother of all tantrums.
What exactly happened? Did he go home and find that Mrs Ssebaana had made him katogo instead of beef luwombo for supper? Or did he go to a show and the Amarula Family did some more jokes about him and what he is supposed to have done for Nabisunsa Girls School?
Well, not exactly, but his tantrums did have something to do with food and where he was supposed to have sat for dinner.
Don’t tell me that he wanted to sit next to the head girl when he went to visit Nabisunsa Girls School?
Far from that. When Ssebaana heard that the Nabagaerka, Sylvia Nagginda, was going to visit Ugandans in Texas, he duly applied for a visa from the American Embassy to be part of the entourage.
However, when he got to Texas, he did not get the welcome he was expecting in his capacity as Mayor of Kampala City.
Oh dear, was he expecting the red carpet treatment?
Did the Americans deny him entry to the VIP lounge? What was it?
His tantrums had nothing to do with the Americans, but rather the American organisers of the Nabagereka Development Trust.
You see, when he arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel for dinner, he was expecting that he would be accorded high table treatment simply because he is the Mayor.
What did they do TB? Did they give him a table by the reeking toilets? Did they sit him with a group of Americans who could not comprehend a word he was saying?
Quite simply, Ssebaana wanted to sit at the high table. It was not even his function, but just because he sits at high tables when he is in Kampala, he thought he could bulldoze his way onto Nagginda’s table.
In a nutshell TB, what you are saying is that Ssebaana was ‘bounced’!
Yes, of course, he was ‘bounced’! He did not even get a chance to sit down let alone dish (to eat food that is). In fact, he did not put a foot inside the hotel, but remained loitering about in the car park. I am surprised that security officials did not arrest him for being idle and disorderly like his boys do in Kampala.
TB, after he was bounced, do you have any idea of what he did next? Did he sleep on an empty stomach?
Hard to say, but I do know that just round the corner from the Intercontinental Hotel, there is a MacDonald’s restaurant. Now, one part of the restaurant is higher than the rest.
I suppose that is where he went to eat and sat on the raised side.
There, I suppose, he felt content and happy that he was sitting at the high table!
But TB, might you have any idea as to why he so desperately wanted to sit at Nagginda’s high table?
It might have something to do with accounting for the per deim he got from KCC for the trip. You see, by having his picture taken while sitting next to Nagginda, he is able to prove to the KCC accountant that he went on the trip he had stated on his per diem form and did not go shopping for one of his houses.
