MBALE –A former legislator – MP in Uganda has lived the dream of thousands of many men – the desire to control as several women as their wives. But the former Lutseshe County, Bududa district representative – Godfrey Watenga Nabutanyi took the game a little higher.
He wedded two women in Beatrice Nanzala and Christine Nekesa at a joint traditional function held on Saturday at his home in Kuushu Town Council in Bududa district.
