There is a group claiming that the @DailyMonitor Newspaper went overboard with this headline. Let me ask a few questions;
1. Besides being First Lady, is Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni a public officer? YES, she is the outgoing and incoming Minister for Education.
2. Do the citizens have a right to know whether their public officers such as cabinet Ministers are no shows at work and the reason thereof? YES.
3. Is there any record or communication from the Government about the Hon. Minister for Education going on sick leave? NO.
4. Has the Government failed on PR in this issue? I think so.
Instead of putting the blame where it lies - with those that are not communicating clearly to the citizens the status of the Hon. Minister for Education - to allow the religious to pray for her (if need be), they are blaming the newspaper that is asking the right question.
The day President Museveni started appointing his family members into public offices, he stripped them of a certain level of privacy that would be accorded to them. Let us be very clear.
For once I agree with Baryomunsi. Government has trimmed the numbers in parliament in order to manage our public expenditure. Just recently, government cut down on the number of ministers. They are walking the talk on this one.
