<b>They said it:</b><br><br>“There are several types of leaders. There are those with endali (squint-eyed) you never know where they are looking. There are those with embaliga; you never know which direction they are walking. Then there are those who live in matongo (wilderness).

“There are several types of leaders. There are those with endali (squint-eyed) you never know where they are looking. There are those with embaliga; you never know which direction they are walking. Then there are those who live in matongo (wilderness). And of course there are the normal and straight ones like Kiwanda and other good mobilisers,†President Yoweri Museveni speaking at the wedding of Mityana North MP, Goeffrey Kiwanda.
“I am aware that there has been an ongoing process of debate over the most beneficial system of administering Uganda and Buganda. I thank all those who have submitted good proposals,†Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, presiding over the 9th Nkobazambogo youth cultural festival at Kyambogo University on Sunday.
“Virtually half of the team named by FIFA are renowned Obua strongmen who have key architects of his survival, resistance and petulance over the past six years. The naming of Isiagi and Mugisha is particularly laughable and ludicrous. We expected an overhaul and now a recycle,†Football pressure group Save Our Soccer chairman, Aldrine Nsubuga on the composition of the football normalisation committee.
“Courts are there to resolve disputes. I have been unfairly, maliciously, and vindictively treated by the media. For the politics of it, this is a hazard I must face. They wanted me to keep quiet, to be sacked and even resign. Nobody will intimidate me into silence,†Movement Director of Information, Ofwono Opondo defending himself against allegations that he shoplifted a pen and underwear from Uchumi supermarket.
“My record is very clear. I did not commit any crimes when I was the DC (district commissioner). Anybody who has anything against me can raise it for investigation. Past leaders should be held accountable for what might have gone wrong when they were in power. I served as DC in many districts and my record is impeccable,†information minister, Dr James Nsaba Buturo on allegations that he was also involved in abuses and why former president Dr Apollo Milton Obote under whom he served must answer for the killings in the Luweero Triangle.
“It is no secret to anybody what a great man the Pope was. Not only was he a leader with immense qualities but a fighter for social justice. His role in changing the political climate in Europe was immense,†Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Kuteesa paying tribute to Pope John Paul II in parliament last week.
Commenting on how they would implement the new quota system in which people with disabilities have been allocated a quota, Minister Bitamazire said people who looked physically fit have been flocking to her office. “When I ask them how they are disabled, they tell me “in the private parts†because they know I will not check,†she said.
