The presidential spokesman is a super motor-mouth. He fears no one, not even the president for who he works. An intellectual as he calls himself, he speaks without restraint. Here are his quotes aka Tamale Mirundi’s quotes.
1. “Even Jesus knew that lawyers and judges are confused that’s why he advised settling things first at home!”
2. “Museveni can’t fire me.” While refuting rumours that he was being replaced by Sarah Kagingo
3. “Why should you be worried when an impotent man eyes your wife.” While commenting on former VP, Prof.Bukenya’s presidential ambitions.
4. “There are people in Mengo who think we were born to work for them, which I don’t agree with. Lastly, I would like to tell you that I don’t fear anyone. If you slap me, I will draw a gun at you, shoot and kill you.”
5. “Besigye has shares in teargas factory.” On why Besigye could not stop his walk to work protests.
6. “Bukenya is now a village chief.”
7. “Do you want to tell me that when you detect a rat in your house and buy poison, it is a wrong thing? Is that a bad strategy,” on why government was buying military weapons.
8. “I am able to reason because I grew up on a good diet. My father used to buy big mature fish & I would eat the head. Many of our people have grown up eating junk food, which is why they lack logic. I am an expert on propaganda, the reason i have managed to floor all my opponents.” On how he maintains his high reasoning faculty

12. “Don’t burn down a whole building because you need to kill a small gecko Lizard.”
13. “Power Sharing is a myth: No Government will ever allow this because it’s a myth. Also no government will ever give Mengo federo. If i may ask which power is Mengo talking of Sharing. How come they never asked for the same in the past regimes?”
