Avoid reckless sex with Commonwealth delegates, Kadaga tells MPs

Speaker Rebecca Kadaga engaging MPs at the briefing
The conference, scheduled to take place between September 22 and 29 at the Commonwealth Resort Hotel in Munyonyo, Kampala, is expected to attract at least 1,000 delegates comprising of speakers and parliamentarians from across the 180 Commonwealth nations.
In her address to legislators and protocol officers of parliament ahead of the conference, Kadaga emphasized the need for etiquette as the first call for service, respect for the official dress code of parliament and cautioned them against sexually indulging with the delegates.
“When you take them [delegates] to their rooms, stop at the door, you can put in the luggage together with the hotel waiter but don’t loiter in those rooms both women and men. Do your work and leave,” Kadaga said.

Kadaga also emphasized the need to observe acceptable table manners by the MPs and protocol officers - cautioning them not to 'overload' plates as well as mixing dessert and food.
“While eating, even when you are hungry, don’t rush,” said Kadaga, recounting an incident when a legislator who had accompanied President Yoweri Museveni choked on meat during one of the international engagements.
According to Kadaga, the MP was hit in the back and the piece of meat fell in front of former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, to the embarrassment of the Ugandan delegation. Kadaga further advised against excessive drinking to avoid embarrassment during the conference.
“Drinking should be done in homes and not excessively, to avoid fumes of alcohol in the morning, there was a time, we had a shortage of motor vehicles and we borrowed a car from one of the members, it had beer bottles inside and some had poured, it brought the speaker of Oman,” Kadaga revealed.
Kadaga said that the conference is a major event in the marketing of the country since the people coming will be able to know more about Uganda and speak about it and that whatever experience they get from here will determine how they speak about Uganda.
Comments
Maybe many of them will spread HIV/aids and other STI/STD to the foreign delegates, since Uganda has a higher risk of infection.
Anyway, these protocol tips should be private. How do they end up in media?
Why should the Speaker tell people who to sleep with? If a man from Naulu is keen on a woman from Apaa, then that is called 'diplomatic coup'.
What a country!
Forgive my Greek and blame Kadaga who knows them best. Characteristics of maniacs, even in black and white situations the majority of our MPs don't think straight; they think with their lower parts.
Eish wachireba?
Not only Kadaga but many times even the president himself digresses! Embarrassing.
Two things stand out. Being advised on food (eating behaviours) the way she did it means the MPs are a greedy lot in the literal sense. One wonders what happens to our little collections (treasury).
Secondly, Kadaga by advising them against reckless sex only points to what she knows about our MPs when it comes to pelvic agility.
No wonder so many stories abound on how our MPs "feast" on each other left-right-center!!!!
Senior Cabinet members don't spare the younger, nubile damsels in parliament (both legislators and parliamentary staff).
And we know HIV/aids was brought & spread all over Uganda by NRA who inffected so many women!
With the absence of services/development of constituencies, Ugandans still elect/renew mps' mandate!
In the rest of the world, dictators are thrown out in UNITY, leaders who fail to render services for which they are elected are NEVER reelected!
But Ugandans aare at peace & Museveni will rule them till he drops dead of old age! WHY?
Has Museveni not destroyed Ugandans & their country long enough?
