We shall start by clarifying that the daughter in this story is not Dr Kiiza Besigye’s biological child, but rather an adopted daughter that the Opposition firebrand raised as his own. Yes, he might come off as a tough man, but this shows how good hearted Rtd Col Kizza Besigye can get.
Her name is Sandra Masiko and last Saturday, she said “I do” to a one Brian Ntale. The couple exchanged their vows at St Augustine Church, Makerere University.
Sandra’s mother Mary Waijahe and her sister Joy Waijahe played a focal role in the formation of Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM), a political party that was led by President Museveni in 1980.
The former FDC party leader looked on calmly as His Grace Paul Bakyenga joined the couple in holy matrimony.
Bakyenga urged the Ntales to base their new union on God. Masiko had introduced Ntale at Besigye’s residence in Kasangati, the weekend before they exchanged their vows in church and for once there was no teargas when a gathering formed at Besigye’s home.
