Of course it's a good thing to burn down Owino market daah!!!


If you are in the insurance business you know too well how the words insurable interest, risk, premium and the like conjure up butterflies in your mental wallet. If we can cauterise such markets twice a month atleast; then we can have these superstitious or rather mystical Ugandans appreciate how to apportion income for scintillated moments.

Naye who gives a damn about second hand and counterfeited stuff you find in DT? We are moving on to malls and designer labels and there is no better wakeup call than to show these poor chaps that acts of god are also appalled at their backwardness. Besides, it will save Ugandans from unnecessarily wasting their hard earned money trying to buy cheap Christmas gifts for people in the villages.

By the way, can't u see that usafi and wandegz markets are more organized...but they need a hand of God marketing strategy to get some hotheads in there selling stuff. Maradona needed it to win a world cup, Kampala landlords need it; once in a while.

We all agree that Besigye and Lukwago's running battles as they walk to work and work to walk have done little to provide a proper lab specimen of how good our police reservoir can be. We have tear gas, water spray for those who don't shower, pink water for those who think they have insatiable wardrobes, pepper spray for those cold eyes that need a spark plug to help relieve them of excess tear cisterns. We have nice kiboks for those who did not attend upcountry private schools. I doesn’t matter that you are an aggrieved vendor, or street lumpen wanting to take advantage, you have to realize that when we are on duty, we cannot distinguish who is who, just get out of the way!

Smoldering such markets is not just to prove that Lukwago has failed to honor our votes and beat government. He can’t even stop a simple fire? A whole Lord Mayor (tuswalatuswala). We should start voting wisely and make sure Musisi is both mayor and Director of our Kibuga.

I know how you watch movies and see fire departments as cool and well equipped. If Owino incinerates, you call police, they show up after an hour to see warrups, you give them facilitation to call the fire department,. the head of department is probably working on his thesis about school fires and has to be called from leave to approve logistical requisitions for the emergency. Then the department vehicles are taken for servicing, then they go and fetch water in Entebbe anti Umeme has cut off power because the yaka metre is not updated; water bill s are still pending approval of Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets or better still a supplementary budget. Finally we can now show up and stop the fire. (Ignore this paragraph I was dreaming).
 
Maybe Sevo will come up and give us some 200 million so we can vote wisely next time. By the way what is that market for anyway, wouldn't we rather use that land for parking space when we go for soccer at Nakivubo, or even just turn it into another bus terminal. More important ideas for sure. it's a pity we cannot burn street vendors off the street!

 Anyway, oba what happened to That’s Life Mwaatu? Kubanga these things Bibaawo
Ela Government etuyambe.
