Summary
Ms Betty Aol Ocan has been the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the 10th Parliament that Speaker Rebecca Kadaga dissolved on Tuesday. Her party, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), led by Patrick Oboi Amuriat in the January 14 polls lost its parliamentary majority to the National Unity Platform (NUP) led by Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine. And the latter will now pick the LoP for the 11th Parliament whose members will be sworn-in starting next Monday. In an interview, Ms Ocan tells Daily Monitor’s Esther Oluka about her woes.

Dear Tingasiga;
Images of an inferno engulfing Grace House at King’s College, Budo sent a chill down my spine. Happily, we lost no human life, and the building will be restored.
If you’re feeling down and out, because of your life’s exertions, come with me my friend, to a place so special, of beauty and peace untroubled, with memories of dear ones lost, in their dreamless sleep eternal.
Memories of Budo, where adolescence surrendered to adulthood, restore my strength anew, my breath just comes with ease, light up my soul so bright, and banish all the darkness.
