I Have Never Gained Anything Good From Speaking English — Kato Lubwama

1 Mins read

Rubaga South Member of Parliament, Kato Lubwama has revealed the reason why he doesn’t want to speak English and negative attitude towards the language.

He said there is nothing he has ever got out of speaking English in his entire life and that justifies his negativity towards the language.

He urged the public not to complain if he can’t speak English fluently.

“The most important thing is that I don’t like English, I don’t want to speak English; for what? I have never got anything out of speaking English, it has never brought even food on my table,” he said.

He made the remarks during NBS Ku Katabe on Monday.

Lubwama said he does not want to speak English at all though he knows the language.

He said he was voted as the MP Rubaga South not because of speaking English noting that there are many people who are not educated and what they want is service delivery.

“I am educated but the problem is that people have failed to understand, I studied music, film,” he said.

He added: “All these years while acting on different stages, I used Luganda, maybe to help some people to understand my work, we used subtitles in English.”

He said after reaching China he continued hating English because they speak their own language.

“English is a good language, I don’t want to condemn it but we shouldn’t be slaves of speaking it, let’s love our language,” he said.

He also assured his supporters that he is coming back come 2021.

“I have already won the 2021 elections because I have done a lot for my people and they love me naturally,” he said
