The family of the former president of Uganda , Milton Obote could have lost its strong say in Uganda Peoples Congress but its desire to have fun remains so live.

We have been told that the family members converged at their home in Kololo last evening to celebrate the 11^th birthday of Puli Akena, the second born daughter of Jimmy Akena. Jimmy Akena is a son to Milton Obote and he is currently the MP for Lira Municipality . Our reporters who were also invited for the function report that the event started at around 3pm till late.

Akena served his guests with all tribes of beers and sodas plus some meat. There were no political speeches made. Akena says it would be improper to turn a birthday party into a political rally.

Everyone would expect that a son to the former president ofUgandatwice, Apolo Milton Obote, Mr. Jimmy Akena would be driving escalades to go to parliament but this is not the case for Akena.

Our informers got the surprise of the day yesterday when Akena, who is also the Lira Municipality MP, arrived atUgandaparliament riding a bicycle.

Akena packed his bicycle and entered the parliamentary chambers. The policemen outside the parliamentary building were overheard wondering why Akena has made it a habit of riding a bicycle to parliament.

We also kept wondering whether this is the way Akena is ‘walking to work’ a programme which the opposition politicians created in April this year.

Our informers got the surprise of the day yesterday when Akena, who is the Lira Municipality MP, arrived at Uganda parliament riding a bicycle.

Akena packed his bicycle and entered the parliamentary chambers. The policemen outside the parliamentary building were overheard wondering why Akena has made it a habit of riding a bicycle to parliament.

We later learnt that the MP is promoting a particular type of bicycle that makes energy as one rides and helps in reducing fuel consumption.
