The one thing to note is that the return of pollution, occasioned by the unregulated import of old cars, is that it has brought us closer to our president.
During some of the more than 15 televised addresses on Covid-19 guidelines, President Yoweri Museveni told us that he has banned air conditioning at State House.
In case you didn’t know, Kampala air has for a few years been the second dirtiest of cities on the African continent.
So the Uganda president literally sacrifices his life to rule the country, shortening his life by so many years than if he was to live on his farm during his old age.
And the busiest State House (there are several state houses and lodges in the country) is in the middle of the city, so those of us in the suburbs should be breathing slightly less dirty air than he does.
