The year 2020 will forever remain in the minds of several Ugandans. This is due to the many prominent lives that have been claimed by Covid-19.
However, during the burial of two prominent Ugandans on the December 20, some actions and remarks took my attention.
The first was the speech by the Mufti of Uganda, who asked the President to reserve the seat that was occupied by the late Kirunda Kivejinja for “them.” I believe he meant the Muslims.
On the same day, the Democratic Party installed the daughter of the late Robinah Sentongo as a contestant for the Woman Member of Parliament of Kyotera District to replace her mother. This brings the number of such contestants in the 2021 elections to three.
