Balaam with Museveni at Kabalye on Friday.
Barugahara repeatedly waved him down, as if to say there was no need for force
Last Friday, a massive crowd thronged the Police Training School in Kabalye, Masindi, to witness the passing out of 9,952 Probationer Police Constables. President Yoweri Museveni presided over the ceremony as chief guest, while Minister for Local Government Balaam Barugahara was among the guests who attended the colorful event. As the official function came to an end, excitement swept through the grounds, with the new graduates running around in celebration and other invited guests trying to make their way to their vehicles.
It was during this busy moment that Barugahara drew attention for a rare display of humility. As his bodyguard tried to push through the crowd and clear a path, sometimes even shoving aside members of the public, Barugahara repeatedly waved him down, as if to say there was no need for force. The gesture stood out at an event where public figures often move with heavy security and impatience. Known for his simple lifestyle and long association with his signature orange T-shirt, Barugahara appeared to let his actions speak for him, even as his political stature continues to grow.
