Packing for her foreign junket (she went to Italy today, back the latter part of next week, I’m told), perhaps? Stocking up on that turquoise eye-shadow? Reading the Red Pepper with curlers in her hair? Contemplating her future[?] in UG politics?

I’d be absolutely fascinated to know what ‘Maazi NCO’ makes of all this! Are you there, ‘Maazi’? Cooooeeeee!

I, like many others, think that the form of the ‘oil bill’ just passed is not optimal for UG’s oil industry. As for the Bahati Bill: well, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – the Bill is proving to be the proverbial ‘tar baby’; those who embrace it seem to end up getting ‘stuck’.

In another development, Rick Warren has apparently condemned the Bill: http://global.christianpost.com/news/rick-warren-condemns-uganda-anti-gay-bill-after-faith-lgbt-groups-call-for-response-86289/

The article in CP seems very confused, but one sees a positive aspect in the assertion that Rick Warren opposes “the criminalization of homosexuality,” and calls the Bill “unjust.”

I’m not surprised by the ‘stealth session’. After I heard that the NRM Caucus was going to back ‘Clause 9’, I suspected that something like this might happen.

There’s another ‘oil bill’ to go, I think – unless that was also put through ‘on the nod’ on Friday.
