{UAH} Parlimanet's PR nighmare is made worse by two things

BY NICHOLAS OPIYO

Parlimanet's PR nighmare is made worse by two things, Kadaga's unrepentant choice of her hotel in Kamuli to host a parliamentary event and the central role of the indefatigable and admirable Chris Obore as the chief mouthpiece for parliament.

The procurement process may have been religiously followed as claimed by parliamentary publicists but the very optics of the Speaker's hotel being 'selected' to host a parliamentary event amid accusations of parliamentary extravagance is a hard sale. This, especially so when the chief salesman is a former fierce critic of government opulence and corruption.

Forgive many citizens, including yours truly, who can not get pass the Kadaga 'slice of luck' and Chris Obore's new found role. These things are hard to fathom if you were a fun of both in the past. I am not PR expert but i think both Kadaga and Obore may want think about letting others do the talking if they want to win a PR battle.

Beyond the PR, parliament must move quickly to focus on the welfare of the citizens other than enhancing their privileges and entitlements. The beleive that there is some sort of conspiracy against parliament is simply unbelievable. If there is any conspiracy, it is that of parliamentary conspiring against itself and against the many Ugandans who already see them as unfairly remunerated.
