I only speak when it is necessary – Rt Hon Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi_

By Jeremiah Kaniampiha

Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi has said he only talks when it is necessary. He  was answering back to critics who say that he is so mute and one of the most dormant vice presidents Uganda has ever had.

On answering back, Ssekandi said he is not the usual average politicians who love to comment on anything that takes place in society. He said that his comment only comes when it is necessary.

” I don’t comment on every issue because am not these usual politicians you know who comment on even things they have less knowledge about,” he said

Asked how he feels after losing his parliamentary seat, Ssekandi said that it is normal for someone to lose an election and therefore he doesn’t find it so complicated to be out of parliament.

Ssekandi has for long been criticized by the public for being so silent and ceremonial. Many citizens say some times they even forget that Ssekandi is still the Vice President of Uganda as they were used to the outspoken and active Vice Presidents like Prof Gilbert Bukenya and Dr. Specioza Wandira-Kazibwe .
