Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. @Thomas_Tayebwa made a very profound statement at the burial of Omukama Oyo. “We have lost a king whom we shall replace, we have lost a friend whom we shall replace, but Queen mother has lost a son whom she will never replace”.
This statement reminds us that while the Kingdom will get another king, The Queen Mother Best Kemigisa has lost her own child. She deserves to be respected as a mother and allowed to mourn her son in whichever way she chooses.
Let us give her grace, respect and privacy in this painful period.

“Regardless of your gender... dream with ambition, lead with conviction and see yourselves in a way that others may not simply because they’ve never seen it before” ~ @KamalaHarris#BidenHarris2020
Especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest — the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours.
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
