"That USh10.6 billion was distributed among six claimants, and as I have stated repeatedly, I want to emphasize once again that only one of them, Stephen Nagenda, was legitimate in my view, as he had a court order backing his claim."
"I want to make it clear to the general public that I have never asked for any money."
"The issue of people illegally grabbing government land is unfortunate, but its happening, and its an open secret. Government officials themselves are involved in this land grab. Its a sad reality.

What kind of leaders are we, especially when we are supposed to lead by example?"
