Long prayer
If you thought the Apostle’s Creed is the longest prayer, then you are mistaken. You should have listened to the Ndejje University Chaplain’s prayer last week, at their graduation. When Rev. Esther Lutaaya took to the podium armed with a pile of papers and books, many thought she was carrying only Bibles. But no, they were mistaken. Among them was a six-paged prayer, she had prepared. For over 15 minutes, she was busy praying for the university and the outgoing students. The graduands and guests that had closed their eyes got astonished on realising it was still a long way to go. They opened them, and sat still. It was more less a speech. A rare stroke that was!
God-loving RDC
IF you moved around the entire country, you could perhaps fail to find a God-fearing leader like the newly appointed Kampala RDC, Alice Muwanguzi. This is because whenever you talk to Muwanguzi, she has to sign off with “God bless youâ€, irrespective of one’s religious denomination. Could this rare character have played a part in her appointment as Kampala’s RDC? She has replaced Dr. Stanley Kinyatta.
FDC’s CHOGM
Not all people in this country have the same understanding and views about the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting. Last week, FDC’s Party National Secretary for Women Affairs Ingrid Turinawe, unleashed another one. She defined it as: “A meeting of 53 people where huge sums of money will be swindled, and the days later, pot-holes will swarm back on our roads.†She defined it without any remorse. Now, that is amusing for this nation. Any way, there we are.
Kajura’s pension
Many former public servants are disappointed that their names are missing on the lists of the beneficiaries of the pension arrears.
And when the Public Service Minister, Henry Muganwa Kajura’s name appeared among the beneficiaries, those missing complained of favouritism.
“Is it because he is a minister that his name is on the list? Moreover he still earns a salary. This is unfair,†one of them grumbled last Thursday.
