Smartly dressed in her school uniform, Ruth Precious Kharunda, a Primary five pupil of Nakasero Primary School told the security officers at the parliament gate how she had walked from home to come and meet the Speaker whom she admires and takes as her role model.
When it was brought to her attention, Speaker Among demanded that Ruth is immediately ushered into her office ahead of other guests in the waiting room.
