Pretty lady!! clever lady!! yes she can serve as minister.
We look at characters not colors, ability not liability and by the way you grow and go with character where you go, but you don’t find it where you go.So , if Hon Nantaba has all of that why then stop her from being one.After all we have had Ministers who have never impacted anyone in their homesteads for all their life in politics but if Nantaba has been such a powerful lady even before becoming a minister why not give her space to explode and do some more!
Does Uganda really need an 80 member cabinet?
