People, Michael Ezra's $3m dollar story 'showoff' in newspapers is a very interesting one. First of all, it confirms that Uganda is still a poor country and some rich people have got no class. Worst of all, it shows that the government is not bothered with finding out how the rich got their wealth!
Most Ugandans tend to be deeply offended by such frivolous showoffs and expenditures by the rich and that's why I'm not surprised that people are sometimes put off with Michael Ezra's behavior in the press.
