Out Of Tune

He came. He sang some religious song. He waved with arms wide open like a pope. And the safari jacket and West African attires were passé, a throwback to the sixties and seventies.

Mr. Otunnu, Ugandans have enough pastors who could have pulled for you some raucous old-time revival party for merely thirty pieces of silver!

My brother, the English League football-watching Uganda population would mistake you for a porter if you wear those safari-cum-West African garbs. They like to see their masters in Armani suits and/or military fatigues. There is a guy who puts on military fatigues when he heads North. He sports swanky western suits and a ten-gallon hat to boot when in town or flies his sleek jet to Russia or Iceland. Take a cue from him.
