{UAH} Food for thought.

Allan and John, 

You people are troubling mzee during COVID-19 and the upcoming crucial election, how do you start a Monday calculating the old man's age, are you concerned that he is delaying to depart? 

Yes, he can even say he's now 50 now and he will be right. When you are old, memory can play games on your mind. I remember in 1969 during census my grandmother told the enumerators that she was 12 years old, making me, her middle grandchild older than her. 

Mzee was 42 in 1986 so 42+35=77 but memory has cheated him of 5 years. The children might have made estimate of his age based on info he gave about his name, that he was named after war- after WWII which we know was from 1939-1945, so his age could be any number from (2020 - 1939)=81 to (2020-1945)=75.

It was an estimate so he has no reason to reject being 81. There was a year he punished some bazukulu for celebrating his birthday, that was wrong. If he can accept one estimate without proof, there is no genuine reason to reject the other estimates.

If Museveni was 42 years old in 1986, how come he just turned 72 this year?
