Battle of wits
As the political temperature continues to rise, the battle of wits intensifies too. During debate on voting methods in the house on Wednesday, Dr. Frank Nabwiso, either inadvertently or intentionally told Prof. Mondo Kagonyera that he knew the good professor ‘is well read in the field of animals’, perhaps in reference to his being a Vet. An offended Kagonyera took to the floor, asking whether Nabwiso was in order to ‘impute’ that he only knew about animals, when he was in fact widely read in more fields than animals. Nabwiso wittingly said that he was only admiring the professor’s ‘expertise’ in the field of animals, to which the house knowingly broke into laughter.
MPs taught rules
Recently, during the foiled ‘one million’ anti-third term demonstration, Police took time to teach some MPs rules governing demonstrations. Kampala police chief, Benson Oyo Nyeko said, “some of the MPs we have been discussing with confessed that they did not know some laws governing demonstrations and we advised them, in case they want to organise another demo in future.†MPs Michael Mabikke (Makindye East) and Latif Ssebagala (Kawempe North) were among the MPs interrogated over the failed demonstration.
Madada’s wives
Bbaale county MP, Sulaiman Madaada recently paraded his three wives and boasted about them causing laughter to journalists during the Namagabi Umea SSS’s speech day celebrations. The burly Mp said he is the only MP in the country who married from ‘re-organised’ families, whatever he meant. “All my three wives came from re-organised families and I am doubting whether other MPs have the capacity to marry from where I married,’’ he said as he thumped his chest. Journalists asked him to show them where he the wives.
Awori understands
A staunch former UPC diehard Dr. David Nyekorach Matsanga now chairman Africa Strategy unreservedly apologised on behalf of UPC for the 1966 attack on Lubiri and abrogation of the federal system, during the Uganda National Federal Union (UNAFU) in London last weekend. Matsanga said “It is unfortunate that the UPC government attacked the Lubiri in 1966. we are sorry for that, Federalism is very good for Ugandans and if granted to the Bagisu, then I will apply to become Bugisu’s first Prime Minister.â€
We pray that there will be no attack on Bugisu Kingdom akin to that of Lubiri when he becomes Prime minister.
