This sounds strange and embarrassing

This sounds strange and embarrassing but these things happen. Grapevine has heard that on some of the foreign trips President Yoweri Museveni has made to certain European countries, the Presidential Gulfstream jet is sprayed with some substance by the host nation's airport authorities.

If true, this suspected fear for malaria and other tropical maladies in Europe and other Western countries seems to be taken as such a rather serious matter if they must subject visiting dignitaries to what might amount to an indignity of 'fumigation'.
Recently when the President visited Australia, his aides were embarrassed when the airport authorities embarked on spraying the plane even before President Museveni disembarked.

In New Zealand, Grapevine has learnt that the authorities went even further and searched the President's entourage. In fact when the President was leaving New Zealand, the authorities are said to have quietly carried out a head count, possibly to be sure that none of the President's men and women remained behind.
May be this is the kind of treatment that makes Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe have such a rabid attitude towards these nations.

More cash for Bassajja?
The controversy surrounding the sale of Nakasero Market is still continuing.
It would appear some senior people in the NRM organisation, in which city tycoon Hassan Bassajjabalaba is head of the Entrepreneurs League on the party's National Executive Committee (NEC), have started lobbying that he gets a refund and compensation for unspecified sums of money he could have invested in the market purchase.

They also want Bassajja compensated for damages before he can pull out of the venture and let the vendors take over as per the wishes of the President. Bassajja has vowed that he will not lose the billions he sank into the venture even though the President has sided with the vendors. You may want to recall that Bassajja has in the past benefited from the State's benevolence in excess of Shs21 billion.

Pastor on the precipice
The rate at which Pastors are involved in scandals and in fighting is alarming.
The latest in these most troubling and unGodly occurrences involves a hot exchange and battle of words between a fairly well-known pastor with a church located north of Kampala and a lady with a Muslim-sounding name.
