Friday 31st/December/2021 will go down in history as one of the weirdest new year's eve Ugandans have ever had. While many would be preparing to usher in the new yar either in church or in a bar, this time round they'll be in their homes "chilling"
However, much as there will be no overnight prayers and lighting fireworks from Sheraton gardens, we will be "entertained" by the president's speech as the fountain of honor will be addressing his bazzukulu on matters concerning Covid-19.
The president among other things, is expected to open the economy to full function as he promised while he was lifting the previous total lockdown. The president's promise has since then been backed by different ministers and the announcing of the return dates for school going children helped cement the president's words.
The excitment has on the other hand been disrupted by the emergence of the Omicron variant which has been on the rise since November and has prompted some "scientists" to suggest that the re-openning of the economy be put on a hold as "they study the behavior of the virus."
The president will be live from his home in Rwakitula and we can confidently say that this is likely to be his most watched address for reasons best known to every sane Ugandan. Do you think the man with the hat will keep his word or his dear "scientists" will win again?
