Results for speaker: Ibrahim Semuju Nganda,15 votes. Rebecca Kadaga, 197 votes. Jacob Oulanyah, 310 votes. My grandson, congratulations! You have made the clan proud. This was the work of the spirits of our ancestors who spoke to all those MPs who voted for you in a dream.
The man of the moment! Oulanyah’s election as speaker completes M7’s long journey from a president for the south to a national president. It also completes the reconciliation with the political north, most especially Acholi region which fought him in a 20 years bloody civil war.
Anita Among’s tally of 415 votes to become deputy speaker against Jacob Oulanyah’s 310 to become speaker tells the opposition something: to get anything you need to cause a division inside NRM, not to just solidify your base. Yet they insist on ideological purity!

I had not flown using the @UG_Airlines, until yesterday. The crew is very good. When they were landing, I did not know we had landed.
Regarding the alleged corruption in the airline, some elements in management and the board MUST face the consequences.
