NAM delegate narrowly survives arrest

The people of Naalya had sent me with a fresh petition.

STEPPING IN: My life was moving according to plan until I exhausted all the Dostoevsky books in my ka library. Then, I was forced to find the next book, something that would give me a similar kick. That is when I landed on Don Quixote. The prologue gripped me and before I knew it, I was on chapter six.

Don Quixote is a knight errant out to make himself the greatest among all. I said, why not become Uganda’s freshest knight errant? Why not become a NAM delegate this week?

First, I bumped into Adonia Ayebare at a café around Kamwokya. I noticed him, he noticed me, and I instantly guessed he had qualified me as a delegate. I was going to represent Nkokonjeru, Mityana and Naalya. That again raised my status to triple delegate. There was only one thing left to stamp my NAM delegate status. It bordered on using the Entebbe Expressway and driving my ka aging Subaru in sport mode. Unlike the other delegates, I was meant to depart for Entebbe then announce my arrival.

Everything went as planned (the journey from Kampala to Entebbe). I was even playing BB King’s tracks (I guessed any NAM delegate would play such music). It was now time for my arrival (Entebbe to Kampala). As I was about to arrive at Busega, I noticed the Subaru stammering in its acceleration.
