The recent altercation between Tamale Mirundi’s son, Tamale Mirundi Junior and presidential advisor Jennifer Full Figure is just one example of the growing trend of politicians and public figures using obscenities to attack those with differing opinions. This incident has drawn widespread criticism from the public, with many arguing that such behavior is unacceptable in a civilized society.
Tamale Mirundi’s son Tamale Mirundi Junior took issue with Full Figure’s criticism of his father’s recent comments regarding the Buganda King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi. In response, he launched a scathing attack on Full Figure, using vulgar language to insult her and threatening her with legal action.
This kind of behavior is not only unprofessional but also counterproductive. Political analysts and public figures should be setting an example for the younger generation by engaging in civil discourse, even when they disagree with one another. Resorting to name-calling and insults is a sign of weakness and an inability to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Moreover, Tamale Mirundi’s attack on the Buganda King is equally unacceptable. Traditional leaders play a critical role in the cultural, social, and political fabric of many African societies. As such, they deserve to be treated with respect, even when we disagree with them. Insulting and denigrating them undermines their authority and risks inflaming tensions between communities.
It is incumbent upon all of us, particularly those in positions of power, to demonstrate leadership and model the kind of behavior we would like to see in our communities. This includes speaking out against hate speech and promoting dialogue and understanding, even when we disagree with one another. We must also respect traditional leaders and institutions, recognizing the critical role they play in our societies.
