Mwesigye’s strokes
When Gordon Mwesigye was Kampala Town Clerk, he was a no nonsense administrator. Nobody probably knows his other side. He is a jolly good dancer. Now the Secretary to the Ugandan Human Rights Commission, Mwesigye last Monday mesmerised the National Human Rights Institutions’ delegates at Protea Hotel with his dancing strokes. He opened the dance with Commonwealth Deputy Secretary General Florence Mugasha. he removed his coat and wrapped it around his waist before joining the traditional dancers, whom he reduced to spectators!
Onek’s inspiration
Inspiration comes in different ways. In it was not for the late Omwony Ojwok’s St. Mary’s College Kisubi uniform, our agriculture minister would today be a different person. While paying tribute to the fallen Ojwok at parliament recently, Hillary Onek said that whenever he saw Ojwok in his uniform, he would read harder with the hope of passing and joining Kisubi and wearing the same uniform. Indeed it was an inspiration for him and he made it to the school and has never looked back. Ojwok you played your part, please rest in peace.
Apolo counsels
If you invited Prof. Apolo Nsibambi for a function and he came late or failed to show up, don’t blame him. He has a lot of work on his desk. Besides being Prime Minister, he is also a counsellor.
“Once in a while I offer counselling services to the affected people. recently, I have been engaged in counselling NRM members, and they have revealed to me that they don’t support the interests of the party in Parliament, because the President does not honour their requests,†Nsibambi said at Munyonyo at a workshop to strengthen multiparty democracy in Munyonyo. He however added that the President is overwhelmed with requests and needs ample time to settle them.
Minister’s concern
While MPs and family members grieved over the loss of former Minister Omwony Ojwok, Chwa MP Livingstone Okello-Okello was more concerned about the airtime and space given to the MPs’ upon their death. “I am concerned, the minister’s death was Item number four in UBC and number three in WBS. Do we have to be marginalised even in death? Are we not very important persons?†he asked
