Why Pope Francis will enjoy being in Uganda than Kenya

Uganda and Kenya are only some days shy to the important visit by Pope Francis. Francis now the current Pope of the Catholic Church and political leader of the city state of Vatican will for the first time visit Eastern Africa and in fact Africa  since his inception as the Vatican pontiff. All eyes are on the Pope Visting Africa, a continent in which most of the Christians and Catholics are found. He will visit Kenya first then proceed to Uganda. A trip to which most analysts have already pointed out that Pope will at most enjoy natural and human environment in Uganda than he will have in Kenya.

And of course yes, the Pope will first land in Nairobi; he will find it chilly and cloudy in the climatic moods of El Niño. The security will be already tightened up, condemning somber Kenyans into the low spirit of unwilled self-discipline. The street children will be caged away into oblivion, a sharp contradiction to the cardinal Christian value of  leaving the children to come to the Christian source of love and as well as a contrast to the Jesuit consciousness of the Pope. In Uganda the Pope will land at Entebbe international airport, on the shores of Lake Victoria, the climate here is warm and lively in the scenic beauties of the hills of central Uganda. Obviously the Pope will enjoy looking at Lake Victoria while standing on the crest of Namirembe hills within the precincts of royal palace of the kabaka of Buganda.
