Well, it seems I am the only one vying for the convocation chair so far. I have proved that my brother Hon Gerald Karuhanga is not going to stand for that post as was reported in the Red Pepper. Gerald K Karuhanga
says as a youth MP he is too busy to be in two strenuous offices at the
same time. What he has not yet done openly is to campaign for me which I
expect he will do.
I have a long history with Gerald. I joined
campus in 2001 when he was in senior five at SMACK. And that is when we
became friends. Gerald admired my ability to talk what others feared in a
conference involving SPLA at Pope Paul Memorial in Ndeeba. By that time
I was the secretary general for PAUSU (Pan African Universities
Students' Union) an organisation I started with comrades Richard Muhumuza, Namara Doreen Karokora, Rukidi Mpuga Elijah and a few others.
Gerald had to look for me in 2002 at the CODESRIA General Assembly. I
was perhaps the first to know how he performed in A level exams apart
from his parents; I supported Gerald to be the Makerere University
Guild Speaker, I supported him as he vied for the post of Guild
President; when UYD students were up in arms against him in Lumumba, I
told them "the empire has a guild president, please keep the name of the
empire high". Me and Gerald are like siamese twins. We definitely
cannot vie for the same position.
