- THE Supreme Court judge, Justice Wilson Kanyeihamba, has unfinished business with the cabinet and Parliament. It is not clear what the outspoken judge is not happy about but going by his speech at a party for the installation of the new Rotary president for Kampala North, Kanyeihamba thinks the two institutions do not care about the masses: “If I was an angel from heaven, I would have removed all these MPs and ministers who are after personal enrichment and aggrandisement and replaced them with rotarians,†he said, drawing a thunderous hand clap from rotarians.
Blunt Nsibambi
- PRIME Minister Apolo Nsibambi is a man with no kind words for those who mis-inform the public on sensitive government issues. While fielding questions from journalists at the Uganda Museum shortly after launching a new law that seeks to enhance the rights of refugees in the country, he reacted to rumours that the Government and UNHCR were forcefully repatriating Rwandese refugees back home: “Let those saying such things go and have their heads checked by psychiatrists.â€
Cheeky Mallinga
- Whatever health minister Dr. Stephen Mallinga was up to when he walked in at a recent press briefing at the Prime Minister’s Office, God knows. The minister’s arrival was announced by former finance minister Gerald Sendawula, who asked: “Are you going to check on our health?†to which Mallinga answered that he was a gynaecologist. Having noted that there was only one lady present, Mallinga reminded the doctor that there was only one lady in the room, causing laughter from those present.
Kayihura concedes
- Police boss Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura is a man of virtue. He will concede where he feels he or the Police are at fault, whether in public or private. Commenting on a series of high profile cases that the Police have recently handled, Kayihura was quick to acknowledge that the manner in which information over the Jjulunga murder was handled was not proper. “It is true, we must accept it. I think we mismanaged information in as far as this case (Jjulunga) is concerned,†he said.
