FOUR councillors messed up their oath causing laughter at the swearing-in ceremony of Yosia Kyazze, the L.C3 chairperson for Nyenga sub-county in Buikwe district and his executive.
The councillors shivered and stammered before guests.
For others, it had to take the intervention of their friends, who read their oaths as they repeated after them.
Florence Namuli, the Namabu parish councillor started reading her oath on a good note but instead of saying “I Florence Namuli swear upon the Almighty God”, she said “I Florence Namuli swear upon the All must God”, causing laughter. Reading the words ‘solemnly affirm’ was a tag of war, she instead read ‘solomonly affair’.
Zaitun Supa, the Kabizzi Parish councillor to Nyenga sub-county started by greeting the guests in the name of Allah and got hold of a Quran.
She said “I will protect and divide the Constitution of Uganda” instead of saying, “I will protect and defend the Constitution of Uganda.’
