President Yoweri Museveni draw laughter from a Christian congregation on Thursday 16-2-2023 when he took a jab at Kampala Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyanjura. The President while speaking as chief guest at the commemoration of Archbishop Janani Luwum Day in Kitgum District, described the 34-year-old FDC councillor and activist as “mad.” “In Runyoro-Rutooro you hear names like Nyanjura and Kenjura; there is a mad opposition girl called Nyanjura,” Museveni said. “It means she was born during the rain.” Museveni was speaking about the need for Kitgum and the greater Karamoja region to adopt crop irrigation in order to cope with the increasingly unreliable rainfall. “Water is needed all the time though the year, and if it’s not by rain we shall bring it by irrigation.” he said. “It is a big shame to hear in Africa that there is a war in Ukraine and Africans are dying of hunger because there is no
