Wava in the nick of time

Lukyamuzi vehicles grounded
At this rate, Ken “The Man� Lukyamuzi’s small compound at Wankulukuku will soon take on the semblance of a mechanical workshop. This is so because two of his former vehicles are grounded in this compound. These include his former official Hyundai and a minibus, which he had offered to his constituents in Rubaga South to work as an ambulance.

It is not yet known whether Ken (left) has left the two vehicles to rot completely or he is planning to secure funds from Conservative Party faithful or any other such individuals to take them for patching up. These days Ken drives himself in a dark Toyota Carib and was recently reported to have participated in a motor rally.

Family feud over the President
There is a saying that blood is thicker than water but to some people, politics is stronger than blood relationship. This is what has happened to two brothers now living in the UK. One is a journalist, the other a lawyer.

One would have expected these two fellows to be reasonable enough not to fight but wapi! We are talking about M/s Jesse Natooli Mashate and Peter Magomu Mashate. The two are half brothers. Natooli is the third child in Mzee Eriaza Mashate's family while Peter Magomu Mashate is the fourth in Mzee Mashate's line of children.

They are now engaged in a serious fight in those far away lands of the white man. Grapevine has learnt that the bone of contention is President Yoweri Museveni’s case in which Jesse Natooli sued the president demanding Shs60 billion in compensation for alleged appropriation of his publishing business, The Weekend Digest in 1986.

Now Peter Magomu, a barrister-at-law joined the team of lawyers representing President Museveni that appears to have for now thwarted the billion shilling thrust.
This has sparked off a war of words between the brothers with Jesse doing all it takes to smear Magomu with dirt.

It is most likely that Mzee Eriaza Mashate, who is a brother of Prof. Dani Nabudere must be unhappy wherever he is now that his sons are drawing swords at each other. A full-fledged family spat appears to be in the works.
