The book of Proverbs describes the slay queens of biblical times as a golden ring in a pig’s snout. And the Sermon on the Mount cautions against casting pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet.
These holy teachings came to mind last week with the launch of Uganda’s newest political party, the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT), spearheaded by Maj-Gen (rtd) Gregory Mugisha Muntu.
