Uganda’s Ethics and Integrity minister, the Reverend Fr Simon Peter Lokodo’s worst experience was last week when Usuk MP Proscovia Alengot walked into Parliament in a teasing knee-high dress.
The minister angrily confronted one of the world’s youngest MPs who is also a student at Uganda Christian University, Kampala campus and asked why she was dressed poorly.
He made as if to arrest Alengot, who sprang through the electronic barriers at Parliament’s main entrance.
“Now you can’t arrest me!” she said – like a teenage girl mocking an unwanted, older suitor after outpacing him.
She literally told him to try his luck some other day because she was now safely in the precincts of Parliament from where she enjoys the immunity from being arrested.
Fr Lokodo walked away a sad man muttering: “I will get you”!
