Lokodo fails to explain what pornography machine does

What you need to know:

  • Satire. Following the announcement that he appointed a nine-member pornographic control committee, MPs tasked Lokodo to explain in their WhatsApp group the role of the team, or even what the pornography machine looks like.

Bahati: Lokodo, how could you do that?
Anite: What did he do?
Lokodo: Eh?
Bahati: The man has taken the whole pornography joke far now. Committee on porn? What is that?
Munyagwa: The irony of it is that it comes days after Museveni’s directive against proliferation of agencies that do the same things that public offices are meant to do.
Tumwebaze: Leave Museveni out of this, focus on Lokodo.
Bahati: Lokodo, we have tried to look for porn machine online but can’t find anything. What does the machine look like?
Lokodo: Bahati, how about you focus on your two hobbies instead of attacking me so early in the morning?
Bobi Wine: What are his two hobbies?
Lokodo: Otafiire and the rainbow fraternity.
Otafiire: Ah, Lokodo, Otafiire is a busy man. Sort your issues with Bahati yourselves. Do I look like a pornography machine to you?
Lokodo: I just said you are his hobby…
Otafiire: I only repeat myself once.
Fungaroo: Why are you goading Otafiire into making early morning threats like that?
Otafiire: Lokodo, needless to remind you, the same hot water that hardens the egg softens potatoes.
Lubwama: So the egg here is who?
Nsereko: I see Otafiire is admitting that Bahati’s relentless jibes hit home, but explain to us how it has hardened you.
Mpuuga: Well, seeing how Lokodo is desperate to deflect issues being raised, maybe Otafiire is right. Lokodo, you are just a potato in hot water.
Otafiire: Lokodo, I’m made of steel, I get harder the more these people attack my person. You need to rise to the occasion. Now what is this committee of yours?
Katuntu: I hear Shs2 billion is going to be blown on that committee. And Lokodo needs another half billion to buy a machine he himself doesn’t know exists.
Okupa: Lokodo, could you send us a 3D picture of the machine in question?
Lokodo: What is this? Some sort of committee to grill me?
Abiriga: So what will the porn machine does?
Franca: Do*
Abiriga: But Franca, why not me and you meet and sort this love and hate affair?
Franca: You are welcome, Colonel, as long as you don’t come wearing the Sadolin paint.
Fungaroo: Now these two have successfully bailed Lokodo out.
Bahati: Says who? Lokodo, if you can’t explain what the machine does, at least explain to us what that committee will do.
Ecweru: Is there a way to smuggle me into the committee?
Bobi Wine: I hear you are so perverted you wouldn’t need Old Lokodo’s machine to detect porn, that you just blink and even morally uptight stuff becomes porn.
Ecweru: Young man, don’t scratch where there is no itch, you might get sores!
Bobi Wine: The porn committee and machine exemplify how terrible this government is at prioritising issues. Girls drop out of school because of lack of sanitary pads, healthcare is lacking, teachers can’t get a raise and we are staffing a committee to just be there nibbling at samosas while wondering whether Cindy’s leggings are clothes or not.
Tumwebaze: Now here is the problem with our politicians. You think you can solve everything at once.
Bobi Wine: As if that is not bad enough, I hear choppers were sent to hover over Entebbe/Katabi areas as police beef their efforts to arrest the serial killer(s).
Ecweru: I don’t know how police arrived at such a decision. Someone in police must be high.
Lubwama: They have a lot of money to waste there, eh?
Franca: Otafiire, old generals like you need to step in and help police know how to do things beyond turning to prostitutes and such.
Otafiire: Young girl, you have the audacity to mention prostitute and my name in the same sentence?
Mpuuga: Police have previously hired many boda men, and all sorts of lumpens. Now they are using prostitutes as detectives of sort…
Anite: I think they are informers.
Lubwama: Could someone be doing rituals with the lives of women?
Okupa: There is also the possibility that those victims are killed elsewhere and dumped there.
Ecweru: Let’s leave that to police to investigate. Crime scene can tell whether victim was killed there or body just dumped there.
