Business came to a standstill when popular city lawyer Caleb Alaka set foot in Nsangi on Masaka Road, Wakiso District on November 25 to be introduced to the parents of Linda Namuli, his long-time love.
A convoy of over 60 vehicles, loaded with gifts, stretched the road all the way from Kampala, attracting the attention of pedestrians.
The convoy left Kampala shortly after 1:00pm and upon arrival at Namuli’s home, had to compete for parking space.
And when it came to presenting the gifts, more space had to be created to accommodate the overflowing gifts.
The audience was big, all in a cheerful mood and the weather sunny –– very kind to the occasion.
Among Alaka’s entourage was his father John Anguzu who savoured the moment.
There were politicians, doctors and several prominent lawyers like Kampala Central Member of Parliament, Elias Lukwago, legislators and relatives from West Nile as well as James Nyakuni, the proprietor GaaGaa Bus Services.
Throughout the ceremony, Alaka looked relaxed and composed. Also present was the towering Gen. Taban Amin, the deputy director ISO in charge of Congo affairs who caused a stir with his bodyguards spotting black leather jackets and trousers.
Amin, the son of former Ugandan president Idi Amin, arrived to a rousing welcome. Amin occasionally received calls on his mobile phone and every time he finished talking on his phone, he casually and unexpectedly tossed it backwards and the bodyguards would grab it mid air, to the amusement of guests.
But the man of the day was Alaka’s spokesman Issa Kato Kagimu. A civil engineer by profession, Kato dazzled and wowed the audience with his eloquence, flair and tact.
When caught in a fix, he cunningly wriggled out and when the mood was low he came in to boost people’s spirits. Many concluded that Kato certainly has a place in Nigeria’s Nollywood and is misplaced here.
Kato introduced Alaka as an accomplished lawyer who is also politically mayongomous (whatever that means) and at one point also cautioned the guests that: “Only sanyuity (from Luganda word ‘sanyu’) and not nakuity (naku) should prevail at the function.â€
All said and done and after Alaka’s entourage had dined at about 10:00pm, they retired to the Kampala Rugby Club to continue with the merry making.
