i hav not liked it as a supporter
It is now apparent that: while the demise of Jacob Oulanya (RIP) is grief, mourning and a curse to some; it is a blessing, jubilation and celebration for others. Anyway, life and death will go on.
Otherwise, how many bloodstreams, dead bodies and graves did the NRM leadership jump over, in order to come to power?
Why sebo supporter mr. Omutaka sinior??.

It is unfortunate but she is the best candidate for the job. Ask yourselves what it means to be called HONOURABLE. Some people just use it hopelessly.
Condz Rt. Hon Anitah Among. CEC and NRM has vested trust in you and hope you will exactly continue exercising the mandate given to you objectively. I thank Hon. Oboth for his mature political practice and loyalty to the party (NRM).
Congs. 2 our new iron lady but rem. 2 unite all p’ple 4 God and my country.
