<b>They said it:</b><br>“I have no doubt that UNLA committed a lot of atrocities in Luweero. UNL soldiers will tell you that they killed people not because they wanted to, but because the system had collapsed. If we did not have support of the population, we would never have survived.

“I have no doubt that UNLA committed a lot of atrocities in Luweero. UNL soldiers will tell you that they killed people not because they wanted to, but because the system had collapsed. If we did not have support of the population, we would never have survived. We were protected by the population. If we were terrorising them, they would have gone to the government,†former Army Commander Major General Mugisha Muntu about the current debate over the Luweero killings.
“People say those who don’t support kisanja don’t love Museveni. Now, what shall we call those who are misguiding him? The one who loves Museveni advises him to leave power. We should escort him to Rwakitura when he completes his term in 2006 so that he becomes an exemplary leader,†Mbarara MP aspirant Nick Kashaija during a campaign.
“What we are left with is only to track down the remnants and sweep the compound ready for people to go back to their villages. We want to finish the problem of LRA rebels once and for all. I came here to meet my commanders and thank them for dino kal (threshing the millet) which has made the millet soft but the challenge is to ensure that the compound is swept,†President Yoweri Museveni, while addressing elders in the north about the LRA war.
“Obote should answer for this. No West-Niler will excuse Obote if he returns. It is absurd that while women were raped, men were hiding under the beds.
We also went to exile en masse and we had massacres in Ombaci and Muni. Obote should go to his village and keep mute,†Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Affairs zoe bakoko Bakoru while officiating at the Women’s Day celebrations in Kiboga.
“On the issue of cotton, I had deliberately kept quiet because I was angry. I had asked the minister to come and explain. I am disgusted because I cannot see her here and don’t see any of the state ministers,†Prime Minister Apolo Nsibambi speaking in parliament after none of the agriculture ministers appeared to produce a statement about cotton.
“He has been allowed to visit the holy land and has been given an all-expense paid trip back here for the hijja next year,†Uganda’s Chief De mission to the Islamic Games in Saudi-Arabia, Salim Musoke after weight lifter Noah Sowobi converted to Islam.
“Even at Makerere University, there are no adequate facilities. The students study through windows, actually many of them study by rumour,†Central Youth member of parliament Mariam Namayanja on the government’s new science policy.
“There will be no need for ballot boxes. we shall be voting as a block to allow a third term for President Museveni when a referendum over the issue comes up,†Bunyole MP, Emmanuel Dombo addressing Banyole in Kampala.
