Important Persons Sleeping at Important Functions!

While reading the Uganda’s national budget yesterday, cameras caught pictures of some important citizen sleeping. These pictures added humor to Television news. One watching an important person sleeping at an important faction would not hold back a smile. But could this ‘sleeping’ be a fact of portraying a bigger picture? Is it possible that sometimes people in important positions ‘sleep’ and therefore fail their important offices? Is it possible that one of the reasons for the slowdown of economic growth recoded this year could be linked to ‘sleeping’ economists of our country? While giving his speech at the Budget reading function, the President blamed the low economic growth recoded this year on some “un serious individuals”. The president blamed the opposition for not supporting important areas of the economy like attracting foreign investors. He again blamed an anonymous individual who gave out a license to import slaughtered chicken. Is it possible that such individual did this while ‘sleeping’? Otherwise how can one explain such given the fact that the government through various programs has been encouraging poultry practice in the country? On the other hand, could this ‘sleeping’ be imaging low interest of the important persons towards important functions? Is it possible that some important people have therefore lost interest in the serious matters of our country? Is it possible therefore that governance matters no longer interest some of the impotent persons? Is it possible that this ‘sleeping’ is the cause for the now entrenched corruption in important offices of our country? Apart from offering us a bit of humor on television news, the ‘sleeping’ important persons could be portraying a bigger picture. One could argue that they were pondering. On the other hand one could argue that they are so busy with country assignments that they never get enough sleep. Bravo to all press men and women that try to keep awake at such ‘sleeping’ moments!
