It's a shame. At this point, the @AntiGraft_SH should swing into action and arrest Dr.Ogwel. Babirye was the first person to expose corruption at @NCSUganda1. #StopCorruption #FightCorruption @StateHouseUg pic.twitter.com/2tSrXV7FNT

Someone who hates you normally hates you because they see you as a threat,they hate themselves or they are greedy. @HonKityo i must say they want your acumen, let's leave sports to the legislature. Take heart. My brother @muhangimo is being smeared because they can't march him pic.twitter.com/3IkqH84gzb
