Sen. Orengo): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I did not know that Sen. Orengo can scare Sen. Wambua that much. He has harassed him to the point that the Senate Minority Leader has to retract his wrong prediction. It is not the right one. This is a very beautiful scenery....

Sen. Orengo) : What is it Sen. Wambua?

Sen. Orengo) : Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I need your protection. The Senate Chambers have been changed to a Sunday Bible school. I have a problem here. Who is going to teach me what is going on because I cannot follow. I need to know what is happening in this...

Kuna wakati Chief Justice Kiwanuka na Wabunge walijaribu sana kuona kwamba Uganda inalinda Katiba na kuzingatia demokrasia lakini hawakufaulu kwa sababu baadaye Jemedari Amin alichukua uongozi na kurekebisha hali hiyo.
