What is termed as non-performance in all sectors especially health. Mzee William Mukaira 95 years recently demonstrated at katungu mission hospital which is extremely dilapidated by delivering a truck full of bricks.

According to Mzee mukaira this was one way of awakening west ankole diocese particularly its Bishop Johnson Twinomujuni to act immediately by building the above mission hospital.

On the other hand the diocese’s plan is to construct a modern Hospital. Money has been already collected by MPs from greater Bushenyi as well as Christians but no progress yet.

www.mknewslink.com news website managing director, tried twice to speak to the diocesan secretary Rev. Can. Joseph Mweyungye on phone but in vain. The first call was on Nov. 25, 2024 where he said he was in a meeting. The second one was today Nov.26 where he made our call busy.

Mzee Mukaira’s desire is to leave a modern hospital for west ankole diocesan at Katungu in Bushenyi town before God calls him to rest. Whether this will actualized, the heavenly God knows.

IN GREATER BUSHENYI

The two professors Kamuntu, Kabwegyere and president Yoweri Museveni seriously still have appetite for power despite being 80 years and above.

Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu is moving around day and night to be elected MP FOR Sheema south in Sheema district. He lost the seat in 2021 to a fellow professor, Dickens Mushemeza.

On the same note, Prof. Mushemeza told www.mknewslink.com managing director that if he is to hand over the seat he cant hand it over to prof. Kamuntu an 80 year old but those young than him.

The youths in Sheema south equally dismiss the message of the very aged prof. Kamuntu. They want reasonably young people to lead them as MP.
