Appearing unruffled, Mr Museveni carried on with his address, which comes at a time when several opposition supporters are on trial in the military court
Oulanyah will carry forward role of leading yes men in parliament
June 3, 2021 Speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanyah
I have seen a section of Ugandans jubilating that the legislature, an arm of government responsible for making the laws pursuant to article 79 of the constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995 as amended, elected a new speaker - Hon Jacob Oulanyah and that at least things will change since he will preside over an impartial parliament whose role had failed the previous speakers who instead had chosen to make the August House the rubber stamp of the whims of the kleptocracy.
Just like his predecessors, Oulanyah is another lackey or part of the kleptocracy, and Ugandans should not be over expectant that the 11th parliament will cease to be a carte blanche for advancing the whims of Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who has ruled the country for nearly four decades.
#Breaking: Gen Katumba Wamala has just survived an assassination attempt after 4 unknown armed assailants riding on 2 black motorbikes shot at his convoy, according to eye witnesses. He was riding with the daughter, driver and bodyguard. @nbstv#NBSUpdatespic.twitter.com/F3mmst6hEV
Images from the scene showed Wamala’s car an official army vehicle easily identified by its distinctive military green number plates riddled with about a dozen bullet holes in the rear and driver side of the vehicle.
Tuesday’s shooting is the latest in a series of attempted killings of high-profile targets by motorcycle-riding assassins in Uganda’s capital.
