COMMENTARY     

Julius Barigaba
17th June 2005
Hi. I think you got your information wrong on the Ugandan government. The country has a Vice President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, charged with helping the president in cabinet. The Prime Minister is head of government business in parliament--he defends government policies, etc.
