“HOW many women leaders have tried to share the plight of women suffering at the grassroots? To what extent have women spoken out on corruption? I am not discrediting women movements, but gender equality should also involve women in terrible situations,†former East African Legislative Assembly MP Irene Odida Ovonji during a debate on women’s influence on the Governance agenda in the multiparty system.
“The message of love and reconciliation preached here by Bishop Lulaga and other bishops should be taken seriously. I am a Christian, but I hate people who call themselves Christians and instead promote hatred and lies to create disunity,†President Yoweri Museveni during Martyrs day celebration at Namugongo on Sunday.
“There are some people who are who are trying to derail the rule of law. Kutesa appeared in a case as a state witness. There is no way, unless somebody is mad, one can prefer charges whether private or otherwise against such a person,†IGG Faith Mwondah blaming FDC President Kizza Besigye for suing CID boss Elizabeth Kutesa in her private capacity.
“For the newspapers to see us as enemies is like pouring poison in Buganda’s food. We want a good working relationship. We will achieve what we want. Even federo can be achieved,†Prime Minister Apolo Nsibambi dismissing allegations that he and vice president Gilbert Bukenya had not been of any use to Buganda despite being Baganda.
“The State may be likened to a long living tree. Parliament, the Executive and the Legislature may be compared to the parts of a tree such as the branches, leaves, flowers and roots where each part has a function to perform in a special way because none is more important than the other,†Justice George Kanyeihamba, urging the executive not to interfere with the Judiciary.
“There is no provision in the Trial and Indictments Act empowering a judge to take over conduct of a trial which is partly heard. For this trial to continue under your presidency is a nullity,†David Mpanga, lead counsel for Kizza Besigye addressing Justice Eldad Mwangusya.
