The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Betty Nakibuuka Senyonjo’s Liteside
Any three things we don’t know about you?
I am so passionate about helping especially when I can afford. I don’t want to see anyone go through the same turbulence that we experienced; so I choose to help. I love old people and if God blessed me with more resources, I wouldn’t hesitate to set up a home for the elderly. I value my maids because no one prayed to have their children work as maids. I strive to treat them like my very own children.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Being close to God creates peace of mind but I also believe that satisfaction only comes from God. The vacuum may be too big to fill up and you can only be sure with God.
What is your greatest fear?
Compromising with a sin because when I do so, I am made to believe that God has abandoned me move on my own; something that I can’t handle.

My father mistreated me so much in my early years which made have a low self-esteem. Many times that fear makes me less confident; especially when I meet big people.
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Back biting and judging others; I tend to blacklist such people.
Which living person do you most admire?
Mrs. Margaret Sekidde works hard and has earned a lot for that. But even with such wealth attached to her, she still mingles with the poor or people who are so low compared to her class.

What does being powerful mean to you?
Knowing God and doing things under His influence.
On what occasion do you lie?
It happened in the past; there is a time someone visited me at home but because I was very exhausted, I made my children lie that I was not home. I later regretted it.

Im not happy with you people , ,, listen well to the interview which was brought by your writer if there is my educational level, lam regretin why l came for her interview, and i can remember that day l didn’t work because she was calling soo much telling me that you want that interview agently and she wanted Gloria also buh She was at school and l promised her in her holiday, went to the sloon to do makeup and my hair to ease her Job, lam wondering the way you do your things un professionally, when l taked to her she started quarrelling me that I refused to tell her thats why she decider to do so and more so she started talking to me with a loud voice, is that the way you train them, l humbly ask you to remove my story on your page please. Firstly, I work professionally for big companies and such a reponse in the interview is very drastic that it denigrates my work as an individual.Secondly I have been interviewed by several magazines , social websites and newspapers and they have never disrespected me in such a way. Everyone has personal information that they wish to keep private from the public and if that is not respected then this is unacceptable. Thank you
