For The Safety Of MPs

FOR THE SAFETY OF MPs

For the safety of MPs,

Each must be given 156m

To buy an expensive car

The cancer patients can wait

If they die, let them die

Because their lives are incomparable

To the good job that MPs do

Government has not got the money

to buy a new cancer machine.

For the safety of MPs,

each must be exempted taxes

Their salaries must be given to them

Without prior allegations.

The lecturers at Makerere let them wait

Because their services are not that important

And can't be compared to the good work MPs do.

For the safety of MPs,

All types of allowances must be paid

By the government

They are very delicate people

Whose lives are far much better

Than the common men

Whose wives die in hospitals

Because of poor health services.

For the safety of MPs,

Government is planning to

Give each a convoy

With armed and experienced personnel

Hired from first world countries

Voters might end their lives

The promises they made

Are no where to be seen.
