Netters, I think the Minister should be made to know that this is the best time for the whole world to know through Mr. Bush's visit how undemocratic and corrupt Uganda is. We should not be ashamed to point out our ills and shortcomings. UPC has done the right thing for the good of all peace-loving, democratic, progressive and good intentioned Ugandans. This issue of telling your wife not to expose how abusive you are is ill conceived. Your wife has the God given right to let the world know how evil and satanic you are to her. Now if that belittles you, then I think it is the most opportune time to just think of how belittling your policies are to her. Mr. Minister, Ugandans would expect you you to stand for them in good spirit. We cannot keep shying away while we are dying from Jiggers, ignorance, illiteracy, poverty, and lack of competent governance. Just because we want Uganda to look good in the eyes of Mr. Bush. The Minister is talking like (with due respect) a village Primary School teacher. Wake up bwana Waziri Afande.
