I don't understand the language at the very bottom of this posting, but I have
a feeling that was is on top, that you Mr. Musaazi responded to, is a
translation of whatever was in the original article. Let me get this clear. Are
you Mr. Musaazi implying that anything which is not originally written in
english should never find its way onto Ugandanet, even where a translation is
included?!
I guess the purpose of attaching the original article is to enable anyone who
understands the vernatular in which the original article was written to verify
that the translation given is a true representation of what was originally
written/said in the original article.
Would it be a consolation Mr. Musaazi, if I told you that I also don't
understand the original article but I'm happy with the translation especially
since no one has challenged it?
I sincerely hope Mr. Musaazi that it is not the article itself you are not confortable with and just using the language issue as a cover-up.
Nice weekend.
