The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Which living person do you most admire?
Mothers who work through very difficult circumstances to ensure their children go to school and have food. Women make a lot of sacrifices daily but they are often not appreciated for what they bring to humanity.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Books, shoes and chocolate. Right now I am reading ‘Bad Feminist’ by Rosane Gay but before that I was reading `King Leopold’s Ghost’ which tells a story of how Congo was ripped of its resources by King Leopold.
What is your current state of mind?
I am happy I have just achieved one of my goals for this year which was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
None that I can’t think of
On what occasion do you lie?
That time when I know I am in a fix especially when I forget to do something.
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
I try not to think about those things because then I will be depressed.
Which living person do you most despise?
I don’t despise people but those who don’t value human life like Joseph Kony who think they can take it at will. They don’t really deserve to be called people.
What is the quality you most like in a man?
A man should keep his word and that’s why I love my husband. I can trust him 100% because I know he is honest.
What is the quality you most like in a woman?
I like women who uplift other women and hold their hand.
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
I am told I keep saying ‘anyhow’ but when I do voice messages and replay them I notice I use aah aah a lot.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
Peter Mwesige and my two boys.
When and where were you happiest?
Happy is a continuous state so I am happy every day for instance I was happiest on my wedding day, when I gave birth to my first kid, when I climbed Kilimanjaro. I can’t really tell that I was happiest here or there.
Which talent would you most like to have?
Playing the piano; I think making music is a beautiful thing but I don’t have the patience to play an instrument.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
My bad traits that I can’t say.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Being a lawyer was my childhood dream.
If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?
I wonder what it’s like to fly. I would like to be able to fly like a butterfly or an eagle.
Where would you most like to live?
I love water, trees and seeing big green so any place that has these is where I would love to live.
I admire women who pioneered the struggle for women’s rights in Uganda
What is your most treasured possession?
There is a Bible my parents bought me in 2004. I will treasure that one for a long time because they gave it to me as a birthday gift. I am a collector so whenever I travel I pick something that will help remind me of where I’ve been. At Kilimanjaro, I got a small rock that was formed from some sort of volcanic reaction. It’s a black rock.
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
When a person doesn’t have hope.
What is your favorite occupation?
There is no better occupation than law.
What is your most marked characteristic?
Generosity.
What do you most value in your friends?
Love and loyalty.
Who are your favourite writers?
I never cram writers but in leadership I read a lot of John C. Maxwell for he writes simply and beautifully.
Who is your hero of fiction?
I read lots of fiction but I’ve never had one favorite.
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
I admire women who pioneered the struggle for women’s rights in Uganda like Sarah Ntiro, Rhoda Kalema and Joyce Mpanga. It’s on their pioneering work that we stand on today.
Who are your heroes in real life?
Jesus Christ for he was not afraid to lay down his life for us.
What are your favorite names?
Don’t have
What is it that you most dislike?
When it gets uncomfortably hot that you can’t sleep well.
What is your greatest regret?
Because I am shy I regret the times when I didn’t open my mouth and say what I wanted to say or start a conversation with this person I wanted to speak to.
How would you like to die?
Peacefully in my sleep; I don’t want to die in a plane crash or capsized boat
What is your motto?
People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
