My heroine of the day is Hon Betty Olive Kamya. Her character is of one who threw caution to the wind a long time ago! (Ensonyi yazisiba kumpagi).
This woman was first in the disgraced NRM, when Besigye challenged Museveni in 2001, Betty jumped on the wagon. She tried to be secretary general of FDC and when people didn’t vote her, she was disappointed, only to be appointed by the then president of FDC Kizza Besigye as Presidential envoy later on. Due to her massive appetite for power, she formed her own political party/organisation – Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA) and ran for President in 2011, of course she failed. She then made it her project to attack Kizza Besigye on every chance she got. Then, it seems, Museveni discovered her weaknesses and exploited them to his advantage; behold, she is now a cabinet minister!
Some people don’t really care how many of their words they have to recycle, as long as the end result is a plate of food on their table and a government job!
