I can’t blame the MPs for laughing at Kategaya

SIR — I was very amused when I opened<i>The New Vision</b> on Wednesday and was ‘confronted’ by the screaming headline “Kategaya lectures MPs on principlesâ€.

I can’t blame the MPs for laughing when Kategaya talked about “sticking to principlesâ€. I would also have laughed.
Kategaya’s decision to serve in a government which he had opposed on principle will follow him like a bad smell. When I read the article, two great men immediately came to my mind. The first one was Kategaya himself who ridiculed Prof. Semakula Kiwanuka as a professor of history who had no sense of history.
The second was Sir Winston Churchill whose humour and intellect is so refreshing. He observed that a politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year and also the ability to explain afterwards why it didn’t happen! Could Churchill have been thinking of kategaya?
