If you thought Local Council elections were not a big deal, think again!

The nomination ceremonies across the country have been treated with such pomp that one would mistake the elections for a presidential or parliamentary race.

Nominees have been treating  their voters with a taste of swag as they hired luxury vehicle convoys and music systems as part of their campaign trail albeit the fact that the position entitles them to a free bicycle (Yes, not a car or motorcycle ) from government .

The race has also attracted former Rubaga North MP Singh Katongole to contest as LC 1 of Makamba Zone in the constituency he formerly headed! Katongole’s short tenure as MP was thrown out by court following petition by Moses Kasibante. So why not become LC 1 boss?  Surely, there is something about this position that we are not aware of.  Like former president Godfrey Binaisa said; “Entebbe e’wooma”.

Indeed power is sweet. We eagerly await the outcome of the elections due on Tuesday which has been declared a public holiday.
