Binaisa bad for Buganda kingdom
Semakula Owekitalo
Let the authorities at the Buganda kingdom tell us why they waste time on trivialities. Recently, I attended a meeting of the Lukiiko and while there former president Godfrey Binaisa entered. From the gallery, I heard the Speaker saying, �Owekitibwa Hon. Binaisa ayingide�. This angered me so much that Iwalked out in protest..
We know that Binaisa is one of the people responsible for this country�s suffering and the removal of Kabaka in the 1960s. It�s a shame that he is being given VIP treament by the kingdom.

Bamuze needs Swahili lessons (why am I not surprised?)
Bogere Andrew
I watched in dismay as Brig. Ali Bamuze (head of the disbanded Uganda National Rescue Front II rebel group) spoke on national television recently. His Swahili was incomprehensible. I am sure even the government officials who attended that event had trouble following him.
Bamuze should be advised against making speeches in a language he is not comfortable with. It reminded me of how former President Id Amin Dada used to gamble in English.
Let Brigadier Bamuze not use Swahili just because he is an army man when he cannot construct a good sentence in the language. Alternatively, he can get in touch with me for lessons, at an agreed fee.

Banyoro, lets invest home (yes, this is important!)
Kirungi Moses
I am disappointed at the way most of the rich and educated Banyoro residing in Jinja, Entebbe, Mukono and Kampala can�t show interest in investing home.
Our representatives in government and parliament are �yes men� who do not press for interests like their colleagues from the north and central parts of this country. I appeal to you all to come and we develop our home area in this millennium.

Was is it Museveni�s campaign gimmick? (a man lies for 17 years and still has gullible suckers)
Mushabe Tumwine
President Yoweri Museveni made a promise during his campaigns in 2001 that all ex-soldiers from the East African Riffles to would be paid their benefits. Many ex-soldiers were pleased and voted for him. But nothing has come of the promise. We spent our little savings on transport to the various points where we were told to assemble. We request that if government cannot pay us then let them at least refund our transport expenses.February 01, 2003 12:01:40
