“Under what circumstances do Ezra and religious leaders acquire diplomatic passports?†MP Elijah Okupa, wondering why many undesignated people carry diplomatic passports in Uganda.
“There should be no reason for the Baganda caucus to demand that a Muganda should replace Kiggundu. Why can`t they claim other positions like the Presidency? We are liberal. All positions will be declared vacant on August 1 and will be filled during the delegates conference,†FDC national spokesman Wafula Oguttu, about the wrangles in his party.
“There are many parts of the Bible which indicate that churches guide politicians on how to behave. Politics is part of human nature,†Tororo bishop Dennis Kiwanuka Lotte, on why religious leaders cannot be stopped from commenting about

I never did that but the people of Kigulu used to give me votes whenever I contested for the parliamentary seat,†former Vice-President Specioza Wandira Kazibwe, proposing that all burials should take place on Saturdays.
