Kabakumba awed
- Last week, state minister for information and national guidance Kabakumba Masiko was overwhelmed by the Vision Group’s high level of professionalism and work. When she was taken to the Group’s printing section, she could not hide her excitement any longer and confessed: “Now I know where I will print my campaign posters from.” Talk about 2011 preparations!

Original Mukiga
- Dr. Chris Baryomunsi is proud of his height. He uses any opportunity to stress that he is an ‘original Mukiga’. During the dinner hosted by Kabale Diocese, Baryomunsi moved and stood near security minister Amama Mbabazi as the latter addressed guests at Protea Hotel Kampala to emphasise his superiority of height and size. However, Mbabazi brushed it off saying he is just a ‘modern Mukiga’.

Wamala’s warning
- Lt Gen Katumba Wamala is an amusing man. Recently, while passing out over 1,700 soldiers who had undergone serious training at Singo army training school in Nakaseke, Wamala said: “This mission is a serious one, No coming home to check on your brown or black-faced wives until you have served for nine months.” The soldiers have been given a one- month leave to sort out their family obligations and will this August go on a peace-keeping mission in troubled Somalia.

MPs Oceng worried
- The proposed phone tapping bill is causing many legislators sleepless nights. Gulu Municipality MP Alex Oceng Penytoo is one of them. He was recently heard saying: “This law is coming towards elections. People may be listening in on who is sponsoring you, where you will be meeting with your agents and your strategies.” He proposed that anyone who trades information from tapping another’s phone be imprisoned for five years. He said this during the ICT committee meeting at Parliament
on May 22.
