Apology:
Parrotsug  would like to correct that the photo that was earlier attached to this post is for the government Chief whip Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa not Hon Faith Alupo (the deceased). This was a technical issue and we regret and apologize to the public for the inconveniences caused. The error has since been corrected and the real photo attached.
