Kutesa the politician and mentor

"Sembabule was once regarded as a hunting area for the Kabaka, therefore, there was no development. The immigrant Banyankore especially Bahima cattle keepers persisted there and lived peacefully with the indigenous people," a senior politician from there said.

Originally, Sembabule was to be constructed on the theory of a multicoloured mat that looks attractive, symbolising the diverse tribes. But because of bad politics, everyone is now trumpeting tribal sentiments. The sounds from the trumpets have rubbed Kutesa the wrong way because the trumpeters are mainly those who once picked a coin or two from him. The man feels betrayed. Any way Sam, this world is like that. Don't despair; that's not the character of revolutionaries.

Musumba outbursts anger Kadaga

Busoga politics is very interesting but also very complicated. The politicians there are specialists in verbal artillery. FDC's Salaam Musumba is said to have a master card in verbal artillery, which was once described by Mary Karooro Okurut as ekimansulo of the mouth (loud talker).

The Basoga politicians destroy their opponents through insults and the latest victim is Deputy Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga. Ms Kadaga is bitter that CBS radio has given a lot of airtime to Busoga politicians to insult whoever they want.

And the Deputy Speaker has warned CBS to restrain the attackers or else risk legal action. " I have in the past brought to your attention my displeasure at the conduct of your staff in relation to the Saturday programme which runs from 8am to 10a.m. Your staff have a habit of importing from Busoga, lumpens, idlers and frustrated politicians like Salaam Musumba, Sam Kategere, Proscovia Naikoba among others whose major pre-occupation is to insult and denigrate a number of elected leaders in Kamuli district and in particular my person," reads Kadaga's letter to CBS.
