Sexual Harrasment is not entertainment and should not be on an entertainment and showbiz session. If the Tv is interested in the story, make it a prime news item because the figure involved is a good opportunity to send a message!

My brother, I have never met you, but I want to advise you because you look like a youth.
Always ask yourself if the MK Movement dropped you, what will they lose?
And also ask between you and the EU in Uganda, whose attention would they rather drop?

Twitter court rooms have no tolerance for facts, no space for critical thought, not even reference for laws. Yet somehow, arguments persist that such lackadaisical procedure is some form of route to achieving Justice
