It seems Government Spokesperson Ofwono Opondo has a hidden grumble with former European Union Ambassador to Uganda Kristian Schmidt according to the way he has ‘stage lined’ a venomous attack against him.
It all started when Schmidt went down on his twitter and stated, “Today, I handed my credentials to the president of Myanmar; Europe reaffirms its support for democratic transition and human rights for all,”
And from nowhere, Ofwono was already in the house to place his ridiculous response to the Ambassador saying his new appointment to Myanmar is a good riddance from Uganda and that he show never bother to come back to the pearl of Africa.
“Good riddance from Uganda, stay there,” he told Schmidt via twitter.
However, as usual, Ofwono’s comment has not gone well on his side after garnering all sorts of criticism from the general public.
Read some of the comments;
It is dangerous to tweet when inebriated. This is totally uncalled for. In any normal country OO would be punished for this.
Then again this is not a normal country

OO, I’m here wondering if you took your medication this morning
That’s a tweet from an inebriated underwear thief, not a government spokesperson! Please stop it!
He’s my neighbor but you should see him walking into a supermarket in the evening. Classic example of why intoxicants arent good.
