A Ugandan woman has been praised for disrupting a state funded tax meeting in Kampala on Friday.
The meeting was being attended by tax experts and senior Ugandan government officials.
The woman identified as Nalongo Nana, a businesswoman is seen in a video berating what was being discussed at the meeting.
The video has been widely circulated on social media. The woman was reportedly angry at suggestions by some government officials at the meeting that leaders were supposed to be taken care of by the citizens and not the other way round.
In the video the woman is heard saying “Do you people think that we have no feelings. Are we not human beings?
“I came here after watching somebody who is a leader saying that we are supposed to take care of them. So who will take care of us?”
Reactions on social media
On social media, many lauded Nalongo for her bravery to disrupt the meeting.

We need to look out for her… I am sure the NRM will be hunting her the way they usually do.

There’s nothing they will do to her. If they try to do anything, we should retaliate. It’s high time we started applauding such people the way the junta does to it’s apologists. We should give backup if there’s need.

The beauty is she made a closed door meeting public, and probably she spoke for the majority
