During his farewell media engagement on Thursday, outgoing Health Minister Dr Alex Katakwe advised senior officials to eat “panono panono,” suggesting that there was nothing wrong with anyone scratching their backs once they’ve done the same to theirs.
However, State House has since distanced itself from the remarks attributed to Katakwe. In a statement issued by Communications specialist, Clayson Hamasaka, State House insisted any benefit accepted by a public officer in connection with a public contract amounted to corruption!
This is how it should be. The outgoing Minister of Health was out of order! How do you encourage civil servants to be engaging themselves in corrupt activities, moderately?
What sort of reasoning is this? Katakwe was simply giving officials in his former ministry a blank cheque to steal government resources! We are demanding that he apologizes, forthwith.
Why should our ministers encourage civil servants to emulate colleagues from PF who believed in the philosophy of ubomba mwibala alya mwibala?
Pasop!

And you think once he apologises, the stealing stops. Do you know what apologising means? It means realising a wrong is being committed and you do a u turn from usual ways. Do you see that in our politicians? Good luck
Boredom is bad. Surely this author gives himself a title?
