The Youth and Children Affairs minister, Balaam Barugahara, has shown he still has a strong sense of humour.
On Wednesday, an X user identified as Angela Nakiyuka Kebirungi uploaded Balaam’s picture on X and captioned it: “I want to sleep with Balaam 🥺”
Balaam responded: “Madam @ANakiyuka85748 President declared on May 12, 2026. “This is Kisanja. No sleep. Do not cause me problems. I am a faithful servant. Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
Angela did not give up. She replied: “Tumenya mateeka ga Bible oleeta ga government 😒😒😒😒 Boojo Ateenyi nyihaho omuzaano naiwe”
The “No Sleep” phrase came from President Yoweri Museveni’s swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday.
Shortly after taking the oath of office for a seventh straight presidential term, Museveni described his new term running from 2026 to 2031 as “Kisanja no-sleep.”
The President said Ugandans no longer have excuses for failing to tap into the country’s abundant resources.
