While BoU showed impunity, Ggwanga gave it full meaning, MPs say

What you need to know:

DISCLAIMER: This is a humour column and the views expressed henceforth may not necessarily be an objective assessment of the individual or group.

Satire. In their WhatsApp group, lawmakers also questioned Bobi Wine’s true motive in his upcountry tour.

Okupa: If my waning memory serves me right, Museveni had very strong words against African leaders who fly to New York in private jets to attend UN summits.
Abiriga: This doesn’t sound like a good memory. Keep it to yourself, all the good.
Anite: What is in the memory?
Ecweru: We have heard all those lines for the last 32 years. Complete your memory, we are following.
Okupa: The problem with young people is that they are impatient.
Abiriga: Whose are you calling younger people? Me?
Franca: Whom*
Abiriga: Franca, I don’t pay fees to you so be off.
Okupa: Okay, let me say young and archaic people just to accommodate you, Abiriga.
Lubwama: Boss, you are punishing the yellow breathing billboard with big words. Water it down.
Ecweru: Now that is funny, @yellow breathing billboard. But Okupa, nibble at your waning memory.
Okupa: What is there to complete? Today, Museveni’s disciples can afford to buy a pen at 300K and he follows all the extravagance in his satiated opulence probably with a smile on his face. Times change for the worse!
Tumwebaze: You will wrinkle whining like that. You expected Museveni of 1970s to be the same even today?
Bahati: You got that from my mouth, Tumwebaze. Even Otafiire has changed. He was this small… but now…
Nsereko: Bahati, let go. Talk to Okupa who has raised the issue.
Otafiire: I heard that Byabashaija boasted of having bought a pen at Shs530,000. I am talking of a man who attends to lice-infested inmates buying a Parker pen at that much. And you are saying BoU has spent so much? Does BoU stand for Broke Old Urchins to some of you?
Katuntu: You could do better. For someone whose turning point came with a jail break, you ought to watch your words.
Bahati: You are asking Otafiire to watch his words? Haha, that is funny.
Lokodo: At least he should know that prison is not for urchins alone. There are more honourable people who have been to prison.
Otafiire: Well, I wasn’t the one feeding them in prison.
Fungaroo: Typical arrogance of people who think they own this country, like the other Brigadier who forever is stuck in the army without anywhere to go.
Mpuuga: I wonder what kind of humans went to the bush.
Lubwama: That Ggwanga is scary.
Franca: Why does everyone fear him?
Bahati: Just wait, every dog has its day. One day he will face local leaders in Namboole and understand what water bottles can do.
Abiriga: Hahaha, now this takes us back to memory line.
Mpuuga: Man, it is memory lane. That said, BoU just exemplifies the impunity in this country and the Ggwangas give it full meaning. Sad.
Lubwama: So those guys at BoU are paid how much per month?
Franca: Are you eyeing some job there already?
Okupa: I trust he would offer himself to live in Mutebile’s kennel.
Anite: Because of the pen?
Abiriga: Because of the money?
Nsereko: Or the whiskeys?
Lokodo: Eh, you guys seem to know the BoU people better than anyone.
Lubwama: Say what you want, but there is money in BoU and the spending seems to be on the up side. Ugandans complain about our car cash and salary…
Ecweru: Talking of car cash, I understand Bobi Wine acquired a UBA already, so much for criticising MPs’ car cash.
Lokodo: And like a typical villager, he is going around the country showing off that car. Give a ghetto dweller a bone and he will eat in a public park.
Bobi Wine: Lokodo, what hurts you?
Mpuuga: You guys appear to misread Bobi Wine. The guy is canvassing views across the country.
Fungaroo: Yeah, tomorrow you might hear he has formed YUF party.
Abiriga: YUF?
Fungaroo: More like Youth for Future Uganda.
Katuntu: The reception so far is good. Better than Munyagwa can ever receive as FDC party presidential candidate.
Munyagwa: Now look at this one attacking me from the blue.
Otafiire: It’s only a village maid who rushes to remove clothes from the line at the sight of a passing cloud.
Bobi Wine: Passing cloud can precipitate, the question is where.
Otafiire: No, they don’t. They are sooner than later blown away by winds.
Bobi Wine: For a man who fears water like you, be afraid. That passing cloud could gather other smaller clouds and form a serious cyclone. Be very afraid!
Otafiire: I will eat my fat lips if that happened.
Franca: Hahaha, what a good bet!
