In regards to Abba Marcus’ decision to come out and make an outcry regarding his father’s health as well as criticizing his father’s family, Minister and events Promoter Balaam Barugahara has come out to state that Abba deserves praise for being out spoken and choosing to exercise his right to voice his opinions as a young adult.
When Abba made shocking revelations about his grandmother, it raised a lot of dust as netizens were quick to react to his statements with some urging him to carry on with the criticisms while some urged him to maintain the respect of the Mayanja family that has been upheld for generations.
Just like everyone who has been giving their opinions on the matter, even Events Promoter Balaam has come out to state that he is proud to see that young adults like Abba have a voice and he is happy regarding the fact that Abba can come out, say his views, correct elders and even stand his ground amidst criticism from the public.
“I am happy. Even we as elders go wrong somewhere. That is undeniable. What Abba did is totally agreeable. He exercised his right to voice his opinion and am glad to see young adults also coming out to advise their elders. There is no such thing as elders being immune to error.” He stated during an exclusive interview with Sanyuka TV.
Balaam also went on to add that young people like Abba should be given a listening ear whenever they come out to speak to the public about certain issues because they are far sighted and they tend to have brilliant ideas. Balaam then went on to urge Abba to remember to be respectful to elders despite everythingbecause respect is a virtue that should not be forgotten.
According to Balaam, if a young person reaches out to the concerned party and there is no change, it is entirely okay for him to make an outcry and ask for help just like Abba Marcus did.
“As long as Abba remains respectful to elders, there is no issue with him coming out to voice his opinions too. He does have opinions too and he is allowed to voice them, respectfully of course. If Abba reaches out to me as an elder and I refuse to act upon it, he is free to make an outcry and ask for help, just like he did.” He said.
Balaam also went on and urged people not to alwaysget too involved with other people’s family matters like many people did with the Mayanja family regarding Abba Marcus’ outcry because they can handle their own issues as well.
“And elders should also learn to refrain from getting over involved with other people’s family issues. If Abba came out speaking about his dad, Chameleon can find a way to talk to him and fix things. It should not be everyone’s business.” He said.
