MONEY Magnet Dr. Hamis Kiggundu is a great asset, this country must be proud of! He is such a generous, leading local investor!
This property mogul has bailed out President Museveni’s top Mobilizer, a one Lumala, who trended on tiktok and other social media platforms over the weekend, crying after Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) evicted him from Kampala streets and his business demolished!
Dr. Kiggundu, owner of Ham Shopping Grounds has given Lumala a shop space for free and some cash, to wash away his tears and be engaged in serious business! Thanks to the benevolent Hamis Kiggundu, for extending a hand of help to the NRM man.
Lumala was among street vendors evicted in an operation commanded by KCCA and security organs to clean all Kampala streets of illegal traders and vendors.He was working near Mini Price on Ben Kiwanuka Street, selling shoes.
During the recently concluded Presidential elections, Lumala used his work station to mobilize for President Museveni and all NRM Parliamentary and local government, without fear or favour.
Smartly dressed in NRM colours, Lumala put up President Museveni’s campaign big poster, cleaned it every minute, fed it with sodas, chicken and hundreds of people would make a stopover to take a glance, others gave him money for appreciation as many opposition supporters hurled insults against him.
Whereas he expected a token of appreciation for his consistence in supporting President Museveni, a few days after his victory, The Head of State gave a directive, all street vendors to be vacated, so to Lumala.
Seen crying like an hungry baby, Lumala accused NRM of using them as condoms and after their use, thrown in a dustibin.“I worked for you without a pay, i thought, i would be appreciated. See how you have vandalised my business and thrown me away! How can you treat your own like this? Now i have become a laughing stock before opposition supporters.” Said a crestfallen Lumala.
This is now history, the same Lumala was seen on tiktok saluting Mr. Hamis Kiggundu, reffering him to a good samaritan saying, “He has given me another life. Long live President Museveni, long live Dr. Hamis Kiggundu, long live NRM.”
For starters, this is one of hundreds, financially bailed out by tycoon Hamis Kiggundu.Many he has helped, Ham doesnt want the public to know! May the Almighty Allah continue protecting you, Haji Hamis Kiggundu.

● Here Is Why The NRM Mobilizers Should Be Very Careful With Nsibambi’s Defection Deal
● In 2012, Police grilled Yusuf Nsibambi, then Chairperson of Kampala District Land Board over illegal land transactions including the controversial sale of Plot 2-6 along Spring Road at Nakawa to city businessman Omar Mandela
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
WHEREAS the outgoing Mawokota South Member of Parliament Yusuf Nsibambi yesterday defected to the ruling NRM Party, a few days after meeting President Yoweri Museveni, insiders say, the former FDC guru is under scrutiny by the security operatives!
What could be his motive, why the speed, and why defecting after being defeated in an election by NRM’s firebrand Suzan Nakawuki and why after losing public trust? Does Nsibambi want to turn NRM into a dumping site or a hideout for those accused of grabbing people’s property?
NSIBAMBI’S POLITICAL JOURNEY
Yusuf Nsibambi was brought to a political limelight by the late former Greenland Bank owner, a renowned economist and banker, Dr. Sulaiman Kiggundu in early 2000.
Nsibambi was a staff at the defunct Greenland Bank on the legal depatment.After the closure of Greenland Bank, Dr. Kiggundu got angry with the ruling government accusing it of sabotaging his bank.
When Rt. Col. Kizza Besigye, President Museveni’s former Doctor declared intentions to contest for President in 2001, Dr. Kiggundu joined and he is said to have bankrolled Besigye’s campaigns.
He thought, Besigye would win and may be, return his Bank! That never materialised.
After elections, Besigye lodged an election petition against candidate Museveni.This is when, Dr. Kiggundu introduced counsel Yusuf Nsibambi to Dr. Besigye, who was hired on KB’s legal team.
Since then, Nsibambi and Besigye have been too close until recently, when KB accused FDC leaders of hobnobbing with President Museveni.Besigye left FDC and formed a new Party (Peoples Front for Freedom).Nsibambi remained at FDC Party Headquaters with Hon. Nathan Nandala Mafabi (SG), Eng. Patrick Oboi Amuriat (President), anong others.
In the 11th Parliament, Nsibambi has been the FDC whip. In fact, Nsibambi was among those who attacked Katonga PFF group.
To briefly take you back, after the formation of FDC in 2005, Nsibambi was elected FDC Electoral Chairman. He was however accused of absentism, afterall, he kept on telling some leaders in FDC how he never wanted to join politics.
Later, after the demise of FDC strongman Dr. Sulaiman Kiggundu who was the National Chairman of FDC until his death in 2008, the demise of Sam Kalega Njuba and the exit of Hon. Beti Olive Namisango Kamya, FDC had no option but to elect Nsibambi, the Party’s Buganda Vice Chairman.
FDC officials say, Nsibambi wasnt an active leader in the Party although he used to financially fuel some party projects.
NSIBAMBI LINKS WITH DR. AGGREY KIYINGI
Born on October 25, 1953 and died about three years ago on September 30, 2023, Dr. Aggrey Kiyingi a Ugandan, Australia-based cardiologist, entrepreneur and philanthropist, insiders say, had serious links with Yusuf Nsibambi.
For starters, Dr. Aggrey Kiyingi had orchestrated a plot to topple President Museveni’s government.Sources say, Nsibambi was among those who had hopes of removing President Museveni from power.
“Dr. Kiyingi and Nsibambi had a meeting in Dubai and given some items to be used in the struggle of toppling Mr. Museveni’s regime. On returning back to Uganda, Nsibambi betrayed Dr. Aggrey Kiyingi. He made no move as per their agreement.” Sources revealed to us, talking about a green Land Cruiser, Nsibambi bought a few days after Dr. Kiyingi-Dubai meeting.
Kiyingi was part of the Uganda Federal Democratic Organization (UFDO) renamed as Revolutionary People’s Party (RPP) and in 2015, he announced his intention to return to Uganda to contest for presidency in the 2016 Uganda general elections but never stood for office.
More of the Dr. Kiyingi-Nsibambi story will be told in part II.
DID NSIBAMBI JOIN ELECTIVE POLITICS AS A COVER-UP?
After serving for 10 years as Kampala District Land Board Chairman, FDC’s Yusuf Nsibambi who had amazed riches and aquired a number of prime land titles in Kampala, resolved to join elective politics as a hideout!
In fact, in 2012, Police grilled Yusuf Nsibambi, then Chairperson of Kampala District Land Board over illegal land transactions including the controversial sale of Plot 2-6 along Spring Road at Nakawa to city businessman Omar Mandela.
We are reliably informed, Nsibambi had a one on one with his colleague Haji Ntege Farouk (both worked in the City Land office) and the two agreed on a shocking deal!
As a reminder, Nsibambi was appointed by then Kampala Mayor Alhaj Naser Ntege Sebaggala to head Kampala District Land Board and Seya, put his brother Haji Ntege Farouk as a Board Member. The two, Nsibambi and Ntege Farouk amazed shocking wealth! When KCC changed to KCCA and Jennifer Musisi was appointed City ED, she ruled that Nsibambi’s term wont be renewed. However, Nsibambi lined up Lordmayor Erias Lukwago with his councilors, who staged a fight against Jennifer Musisi to save their man.
Other heavyweights in government including a certain outspoken UPDF General, backed Nsibambi to stay in office. That is how Jennifer Musisi was overpowered.
Back to Nsibambi – Farouk Ntege political deal; Now that Nsibambi had left Kampala District Land Board, he urged Ntege to find a constituency in 2021, so that they contest for Member of Parliament, an office that would help to cover-up their riches and their other deals made at Kampala District Land Board.
“I know after serving as Chairman Kampala District Land Board, these poople might put noses in our property and even quiz us how we got there. It will be so hard for them if we are Members of Parliament. Let’s contest and do everything to win MP seats.” Nsibambi is said to have briefed Ntege.
We are told, Nsibambi was tired of brokers to Members of Parliament whenever he was interrogated about Kampala District Land Board transactions, saying, if he goes through as an MP, he would have used one stone to kill two birds at ago!
BOBI DECLARES SUPPORT FOR NSIBAMBI
As if Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu did not know about Nsibambi’s game-plan, he endorsed the then FDC man for MP Mawokota South, an election he won in 2021.
Although NUP had a candidate for this MP seat, Kyagulanyi was tricked to instead campaign for Nsibambi. He even visited Nsibambi’s Kalagala home, in Nkozi.
FAROUK NTEGE DENIED NUP TICKET
For Ntege, it was bad news! The Makindye West MP ticket was given to Hon. Allan Ssewanyana.However, Ntege contested as an independent, but lost to Ssewanyana.Those close to Nsibambi say, he blamed Ntege for not injecting enough funds in the campaigns, yet he is extra rich, and that is why he was defeated.
2026 ELECTIONS
Both contested again, this time Kyagulanyi endorsed NUP’s Martin Ssejjemba against Nsibambi. Unfortunately, Ssejjemba and Nsibambi lost to NRM’s Suzan Nakawuki.
In Makindye West, for the second time, Haji Farouk Ntege was denied a Party ticket and given to Zahara Luyirika Maala, who massively won for NUP.
Now that Nsibambi won’t be an MP in the 12th Parliament and his colleague Ntege lost, political analysts say, they had to look for a safe ground.
No wonder, Nsibambi, Ntege, Latif Ssebaggala (Ntege’s brother) and their colleagues, about a week ago, met President Museveni.And today, Nsibambi officially defected to NRM promising to bring other 150 friends to the yellow Party!Is this defection genuine or a stunt? Can President Museveni and NRM trust Nsibambi’s group? Aren’t they looking how to hide their riches? A lot of unanswered questions!For views/comments on tjis story, email editor at newseditor.info@gmail.com

LEAD PHOTO: Mr. Ahmed Marsha Hussein, Director Communications at FUFA, today, responding to media about FUFA’s petition to Parliament
BY MOSES MUGALULA
ON 7th August, 2025 during a stakeholders meeting held at State House Nakasero, President Museveni angrily reacting to the poor performance of the Uganda National Football Team in the CHAN 2024 opening match against Algeria, where the host Uganda Cranes lost to The Desert Foxes 3, nil at The Mandera National Stadium.
Mr. Museveni affirmed that the Government of Uganda is ready to finance talent identification, development and domestic football competitions in Uganda to improve the performance of the National Teams.
Together with The First Lady, Mr. Museveni directed the Football governing body, FUFA headed by Hon. Eng. Moses Magogo to dream bigger and see how to build and develope the game.
By presenteing a ‘wishlist’ to the Committee of Education and Sports at The Parliament of Uganda, on January 27, 2026, The Federation of Uganda Footballl Association (FUFA) was simply puting into consideration, a directive from The Head of State.
This petition targets to develop football in the country and make the sport more loved, a source of employment and revenue.
However, a section of people whose motives are not known, chose to mislead the public by creating a bad impression about FUFA’s well guided move! As if they are not aware that The Head of State and The 1st Lady mama Janet Museveni who doubles as the Education and Sports Minister, already endorsed and blessed the move.
It is absurd to realise that the usual media houses and some persons have been hoodwinked to distort facts for their own benefits.
The public needs not to listen to the noise makers!
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
1) Aware of the resolution of the Parliament of Uganda on 10th September 2025 out of the motion by the minister of state for education and sports, Hon. Peter Ogwang paying tribute to the outstanding performance of the Uganda National Senior Football Team in the 2024 CHAN Edition that club football in Uganda gets funded from the consolidated Fund and the Budget Frame Work Paper from the respective vote includes this priority for the 2026/7 Financial Year.
2) Cognizant that Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will be hosting AFCON 2027 and that the performance of the Uganda National Football Team will be key to the success of the event.
BUDGETING PROCEDURE
1) The Appropriation Act (National Budget) is a law that originates from a bill, as with all laws. The lawmaking process involves several stages, and in this case, the National Budget Framework Paper (NBFP) is a mandatory stage that serves as the country’s wish list. Its purpose is to list proposed policies, the underfunded and unfunded priorities for consideration by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MOFPED) and the responsible entities.
2) After Parliament, the NBFP report is returned to the relevant government entities (like ministries, departments, and agencies—MDAs) so they can scrutinize it. This allows them to see if an opportunity arises to fund some of these underfunded/unfunded priorities when they later submit their detailed Ministerial Policy Statements and the actual budget estimates.
3) The Parliament of Uganda (PoU) operates under its Rules of Procedure (RoP). Specifically, RoP #148(1), 31(7), 216(1), and 218(a) permit private individuals, companies, associations, and others to engage with the PoU on matters under discussion that concern their interests.
In this regard, FUFA, a private association, complied with these rules by submitting a document to the committee.
FACTS
1) On 27th January 2026, NCS (Vote 166) presented its Budget Framework Paper (BFP) report to the Education and Sports committee without input from FUFA, a key technical stakeholder and the principal beneficiary of the subvention on the vote.
2) The copy of the report presented by NCS was only made available to the committee at the start of the presentation. So not only FUFA but also the committee did not get to see what was in the NCS Report until it was being presented.
3) A brief review of the report uncovered several key omissions and indicated that some of the information supplied about football was not technically tailored for football.
4) FUFA is a private organisation of an associative nature comprised of 34 members as listed in Article 10 of its Statutes. It is not an MDA.
5) In consideration of C(3) and D (4), FUFA’s petition was in accordance with the law and a procedural move to correct these “errors of omission and commission” and to ensure that its policy proposals and priorities were included in the NBFP for consideration.
6) Context of FUFA’s Petition: The core issue was that the National Council of Sports (NCS), when presenting its NBFP report to parliament, did not accurately or fully capture football’s unfunded priorities, contrary to the meetings referenced in B (1) and the parliamentary resolution referenced in B (2) of this document.E
CONTENT OF THE FUFA DOCUMENT
▪︎ The FUFA Presentation quoted the relevant provisions in the documents listed in A (1), which is a mandatory requirement for the NBFP.
▪︎ The document did not include any provisions for organising the AFCON 2027 event, but it did include measures to improve the performance of National Teams and Clubs in continental and world competitions. This had been a concern of HE, the President, and FUFA was tasked with proposing what is required for Uganda to compete and win at the highest level.
▪︎ The comparative advantages of the elite footballing nations in Africa were listed, and FUFA proposed strategic policy and financial undertakings to improve the performance of the National Teams and Clubs in Continental and World Competitions in the short and long term:
a) Short-term strategy: Naturalise more eligible players of Ugandan descent to boost competitiveness for AFCON 2027.
b) Long-term strategy: Implement a hybrid model combining nation-wide talent identification, top-notch elite development and early export (as in Senegal and Ghana) and strengthening domestic leagues (as in Egypt, S. Africa and Tanzania).
▪︎ Key pillars of the proposal include:
a) Policy & Regulation: Adjust policies to incentivise private investment, enforce school sports facilities, and direct state-owned enterprises (SoEs), ministries, departments and agents of Government (MDAs) to finance community clubs but not run their own football clubs.
b) Infrastructure: Build and upgrade stadiums across all administrative levels, from international venues to village pitches.
C) Funding & Implementation: Finance FUFA’s Technical Master Plan, covering mass football, elite development, professional clubs, and post-career pathways. This includes;
(i) Providing balls to 45,000 Primary Schools and 72,000 Villages in Uganda.
(ii) Providing balls and training equipment to 146 Academies (Grade-4), 18 Schools of Excellence (Grade-3), 8 Academies (Grade-3), 34 Academies (Grade-2).
(iii) Support for Youth Competitions
(iv) Operate a National Football Academy (Grade-1)
(v) Support for club football, including prize money, insurance, continental support, competition organisation, referees, kits, capacity building, FUFA Big League, FUFA Women Super League, and reserve leagues.
d) Media & Production: to improve the quality of production, transmission and broadcast of a dedicated football TV channel to increase visibility, analytics, commercial value and the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR)
e) Financing Models: Combine government budget allocations, support from state-owned enterprises, and private-sector partnerships.
▪︎ Expected outcomes
(i) Enhanced national team performance and domestic league quality.
(ii) Formalisation of Football as an employment sector, contributing to GDP and tax revenue.
(iii) Growth in sports tourism, foreign exchange earnings, and national pride.
(iv) Youth engagement and reduction in crime through structured sporting pathways.
WAY FORWARD
a) The Minister of State for Sports directed that FUFA and NCS harmonise the documents and submit one holistic document through the government channels.
b) A meeting between NCS and FUFA was held on 28th January 2026, and observations were made.
c) NCS commended FUFA for a well-organised and rich document with content that would have made their submission to the committee better
d) NCS pointed out and asked FUFA to correct clerical errors in the FUFA document and agreed to amend its own document where errors of omission and commission had been observed
e) NCS asked FUFA to formally submit the document for consideration. On 29th January 2026, FUFA submitted the document with modifications as guided by NCS
f) NCS promised to write to the committee of Parliament as an addendum for the FUFA Document to be considered after the line Ministry Approval
g) NCS promised to get back to FUFA on the next actionable issues if any.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
RUBAGA NORTH MP Abubaker Kawalya’s camp has received information about a plot orchestrated by NRM Candidate Singh Malwaha Katongole’s camp to hire goons, dress them in NUP t-shirts and cause Chaos on Elections day, destroy electoral material and beat up people to taint NUP President and Hon. Kawalya! Kawalya’s camp has alerted security organs about Singh’s plan and demands for an urgent investigations into this allegation.
Presidential and Parliamentary election is due this week, on Thursday January 15, 2026.
Singh and other candidates who includes Mukiibi Robert -DF and Sserwadda Christopher-PFF want NUP’s candidate ousted whereas all opinion polls favour Kawalya, say he will trounce fellow candidates by over 70%.
Kawalya’s camp fault Singh and his group on failing to convince Rubaga North voters on why the incumbent should be replaced, and have resorted to blackmailing their MP.
“We have information regarding Singh’s camp hiring a group of goons, give them NUP tshirts and cause havock during elections so that it is blamed on our President Kyagulanyi and MP Kawalya.” Alleges MP Kawalya’s campaign team.
They informed us how NUP is a non violent Party, whoever wants to put a bad name on their party is a political failure and an enemy to public.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
OPPOSITION leader in Uganda, Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has saluted US President Donald Trump for arresting Venezuela’s dictator Nicolas Maduro, decrying continued abductions, killings, brutal arrests and detention without trial of his supporters, activists and Human Rights defenders, which he attributes to the NRM ruling regime!
Dictator Maduro’s arrest came at a time when Uganda is having a Presidential election and Kyagulanyi says, over 600 supporters have been arrested, detained, some dumped into torture chambers while others are missing.
In December, last year, NUP’s Charles Muvawala, a Ugandan born – US Citizen and a journalist was arrested, whereas NUP youth activists Joel Innocent Ssentongo, his sister Stecia Ssentongo and many others are missing!
NUP youth wingers Joel Innocent Ssentongo and his sister Stecia Ssentongo went missing since last year.

The former students of St. Andrew Kaggwa Gombe High School first received threatening messages to stop mobilizing youth for Kyagulanyi or else, their lives was in danger. Joel Innocent Ssentongo reported a case.of threatening his life at Katwe Police Station in Kampala but NUP officials say, he wasnt helped.
MISSING: Stecia Ssentongo
A few days ago, Dr. Sarah Bireete, a renown Constitutional and civil society activist was also arrested and charged in courts of law.
Hon. Bobi Wine said, “Like other dictators, Museveni has suffocated free expression, engaged in mass killings, brutally persecuted the opposition, and suppressed citizens’ rights – among other atrocities.”
Mr. Kyagulanyi says Uganda is unsafe, fearing for the lives of his supporters in Uganda.
However, Haji Yunus Kamya, an NRM activists poured cold water on Kyagulanyi’s allegations against President Museveni and the NRM government, accusing Bovi Wine of calling himself a rebel and calling upon his supporters to start behaving like rebels.
“No sitting government can tolerate rebels and their rebel acts. Kyagulanyi should stop crying fowl. We will continue detaining those rebels. Even Kyagulanyi, anytime, he will be arrested.” Said Kamya, a member of NRM Media Activists.
In a statement released and shared on his social media platforms, Opposition leader Kyagulanyi revealed that, “Ahead of the upcoming election, the ‘security’ outfit called Crime Intelligence (led by Christopher Ddamulira) has once again activated a criminal operation of mass abductions and detentions or enforced disappearances targeting NUP leaders and pro-change activists in Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, and the surrounding districts.”
“Comrades in other urban areas in the rest of the country are also targeted by this operation. Already, several comrades have been picked up. The executors of this operation have been divided into groups, with each group ordered to abduct at least 10 leaders/activists in their areas of operation.” Reads, Kyagulanyi’s statement.
He condemned the brutal arrests, torture and abduction of his supporters saying, President Museveni’s regime is in great panic due to the hatred from the public.
Posting on his X- page, Kyagulanyi said, “Comrade Muvawala Charles was violently arrested after our visit to Bulange on Monday. The soldiers targeted him for apparently recording them as they brutalised our supporters. He was arrested alongside 42 other comrades!”
NUP alleges that, Muvawala was violently arrested from Rubaga, assaulted and his phone taken away because he was recording security operatives as they beat up, tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed NUP supporters.
Mr. Kyagulanyi noted that, “We are now close to 600 of our people who have been illegally arrested since the Presidential campaigns started.”
In all his campaigns, Kyagulanyi decries about continued abduction of his supporters claiming that a number of youth are picked from their homes by the gun wielded men and have to been seen again.
“We are living into too much fear. Youth are abducted, killed and many dumped in detentions. Hundreds are not produced in competent courts to get justice, and a few you see in court are on tramped up charges. The country is in great fear as we head to Presidential elections.” Revealed Hon. Kyagulanyi, the leading opposition leader in Uganda.
IT’S 5 YEARS SINCE KYAGULANYI’S BODYGUARD FRANK SSENTEZA WAS KILLED
Last month, marked five years since Frank Ssenteza, Bobi Wine’s bodyguard was runover by a police Patrol van and killed.He was on duty, during the 2021Presidential campaigns. No one has ever been brought to book for killing such a youngman.
WHERE IS JOEL INNOCENT SSENTONGO AND STECIAL SSENTONGO?
The two youth were too influential in NUP mobilization and David Musiri, a former NUP Insititution leader informed us how they were so helpful in mobilizing fellow students in different schools to support government change in Uganda.

“As a leader of institutions in opposition, i identified different youth to link us in high schools because majority are of voting age. Joel and his sister Stecia helped me a lot in schools. It is absurd that security operatives started trailling and threatening their lives just like i was witchunted and arrested on many occasions.” Said David Musiri

ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2025, a day before NUP released lists of Party ticket winners for Member of Parliament, Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, received a call of a certain big man from Bulange (names witheld for now), begging him to give ‘his woman’ Nassolo Eugenia, NUP ticket to contest for MP Rubaga South!
Our reliable sources from Kavule says, the list already beared Hon. Mukasa Aloysius’ name who had been cleared by EMC after defeating other aspiring candidates for the seat.
The request from Bulange’s bigman, troubled Bobi, it looked hard for him to delete Mukasa’s name, a longtime friend, a legislator who was not only loyal to the party but also very supportive to all party activities, performed well in Parliament and in the constituency.
The caller insisted, he wanted his woman cleared, pledging a ceasefire of a war between him and NUP.
Do you remember a group of elders in Kanzus and Gomesi who visited Bobi at his Magere, a day before MP lists were uploaded on NUP social media platforms? Insiders allege, they were on a mission to secure Nassolo’s ticket on all costs!
Who sent this team and what is his relationship with Nassolo? What was the real deal to delete Hon. Mukasa’s name who had scored highly in NUP’s Electoral Management Committee (ECM) and be replaced with a Nassolo who analysts call a political prostitute? And why was Meddie Nsereko fired from CBS? In Part II of this story, we will bring full details!
BUT WHY SACRIFICE A HUMBLE LOYAL SERVANT?
Ifasked, names of NUP Members in The 11th Parliament who have whole heartedly bankrolled Party activities without first asking questions, legislators with utter loyalty to the Principal and to the struggle, your head will be having a issues if you skip Rubaga South MP Mukasa Aloysius, among others!
Shockingly, his card, under unclear circumstances, was given to unpopular Nassolo Eugenia, who in 2021 betrayed NUP and contested on DP ticket! We will come back to this, later!
MUKASA’S LOYALTY TO BOBI AND NUP
On all incidents Parliament swum into a cash bonanza, Rubaga South MP Mukasa has been coming out with clean hands.
A day, Members of Parliament who subscribe to the ruling NRM Party, others from DP, FDC MPs, and some NUP MPs received 100M each, a few, especially NUP legislators who were accused of being Hon. Bobi Wine’s loyalists like Mukasa, didnt get the handshake!
NUP MPs who did not receive the cash included Mityana Municipality’s Francis Butebi Zaake, Lubaga South’s Aloysius Mukasa, Hon. Muwada Nkunyingi (Kyadondo East), Nakaseke Central’s Allan Mayanja Sebunya, Makindye East’s Derrick Nyeko, among a few other Bobi loyalists!
HOW MUKASA RESCUED ZAHARA LUYIRIKA & OTHER POLITICAL PRISONERS
Because of his loyalty to the Party, Hon. Aloysius Mukasa is remembered for having rescued a team of National Unity Platform (NUP) leaders led by Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Speaker Zahara Luyirika. They got arrested for demonstrating against mistreatment and eviction of street vendors by NRM government officials.
Speaker Zahara Luyirika and her councilors who included Kigozi Rose Nalubwama, Nalubega Fausta Bitaano, Nansubuga Winnie and many others were remanded to either Kitalya min max prison or Kigo.The four who were released on court bail, we’re picked from Kigo by MP Aloysius Mukasa who was accompanied by Lord councilor Faridah Nakabugo and other councilors.
Hon. Mukasa did everything possible to make sure NUP leaders are released. He perfectly did the job!
When Umar Lweere, former LC1 Secretary for Defence, Bulwa village, Lubaga Parish in Rubaga South constituency, passed on, Hon. Mukasa said people like Umar Lweere who stood for the truth and good governance in the country should be given a decent send-off because they choose not to betray their country. He stood with the family. This is how Hon. Mukasa has been conducting himself, to his constituents.
RELEVANCY AT PARLIAMENT
What about, first term legislators who have impacted their constituencies and constituents? Will you leave out Hon. Mukasa? The answer is no!
Even before Mukasa was elected Member of Parliament, he single handedly tarmacked a road in Kabowa at a cost of UGX 500M, fed hundreds during Covid 19 lockdown and donated an ambulence to Rubaga South.
When Parliament gave him money for the car, he donated it to his constituents, bought clean water supply car, educated hundreds of disadvantaged children, donates to churches, mosques, invest in talent identification and hold consultative meetings.
In Parliament, Hon. Mukasa made his maiden Speech by asking Parliament during the 3rd sitting of the 3rd meeting of the 1st session of the 11th Parliament to task the Minister of Internal Affairs to explain how well Police fire brigade is prepared to deal with fire outbreaks in the country!
During a plenary presided over by then Deputy Speaker, The Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among, MP Mukasa said this was a matter of National Importance and, “As leaders, we just can’t fold hands and look on as our children continue being killed by such fires and property worth billions lost.”
This came after Good Infant Primary School Kawaala got burnt and innocent life lost!
In a parliamentary sitting, MP Mukasa told Parliament that before Parliament went into recess, he raised a matter relating to the preparedness of Police Fire Brigade in responding to emergencies such as fire outbreaks in Uganda. He was seeking an elaborate response from the Hon. Minister of Internal Affairs on the matter.
“Rt. Hon. Speaker, I was referring to rampant fire outbreaks in which many lives have been lost and property worth billions destroyed.” Said Hon. Mukasa.
Speaking with an American accent amidst ululation from the excited Hon. Members, Hon. Mukasa told Parliament that the rate at which fire is gutting businesses is alarming and yet the poorly planned mushrooming storeyed buildings which are being erected across the country, the many housing structures which do not allow access of fire emergency by police fire brigade especially in slum areas and the slow response by police fire Brigade are rendering the problem unmanageable.
“Since December when I raised this very matter Rt. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members, the country has witnessed an escalation of serious fire incidences especially in school domitories where innocent young pupils perished in fires and uncountable property destroyed!” Said Rubaga South legislator.
Hon. Mukasa reffered to five pupils who died in a fire on 15th January 2022 which gutted New Crest Junior at Kibedi Day and Boarding Primary School in Kawempe Divion, Kampala District and another one at St. John’s Primary School in Kyotera district.
Speaker thanked Hon. Mukasa for raising such an important matter of National interest.
MUKASA ON THE WELFARE OF LOCAL COUNCIL LEADERS
Still in Parliament, Hon. Mukasa raised a Matter of National Importance on the floor of Parliament in regard to the welfare of Local Council leaders who includes LC chairpersons, women leaders, youth leaders and people with disabilities (PWDs).
During a Parliamentary sitting presided over by Speaker Anita Among, MP Mukasa asked Local Government minister Raphael Magyezi, to explain why local council leaders were promised air yet they play a very fundamental role in communities within their jurisdiction.
Hon. Mukasa told Speaker and fellow legislators that, “Local leaders including those at village councils are entitled for a monthly allowance of UGX 10,000 (Ten Thousand Shillings only) which government pledged to give them. Despite the role they play in ensuring security and harmony within communities, they had spent 3 (three) years without a pay.”
Rubaga South MP told Parliament that besides UGX 10,000 a month being a mockery by NRM government to these hardworking local council leaders which allowance Parliament should look into and consider an increment, that money isn’t sent to them as government pledged.
He said, failure by the government to facilitate local council leaders brings laxity in the execution of their duties and the end result is increase in criminality, cases of land grabbing and corruption.
Speaker, again saluted Hon. Mukasa for raising this matter and promised that government will come out with an official statement.
DEMONSTRATING FOR POOR ROADS IN RUBAGA
From reaching out to Works and Roads Minister Katumba Wamala to leading demonstrations, Hon. Mukasa’s voice on poor roads in Rubaga, has been bold.
This was evident on roads like Namasuba-Nyanama-Kitebi road which starts ftom Freedom City.
Although NRM leaders convened a meeting and warned Hon. Mukasa not to demonstrate of poor roads, this didnot in anyway stop him.
Hence, the ministry came in to work on the road.Hon. Mukasa has been inspecting schools, government markets and at no single moment he absconded from his role as an MP.
WHEN CHURCH ENDORSED MUKASA
Because he has proven to be a hardworking MP both at Parliament and in the Constituency, many people look at him as irreplaceable! At a mega function organised by St. Charles Lwanga Mutundwe Catholic Parish on Sunday, May 26, 2026 to mark 10th Anniversary and fundraise for the construction of the Parish School, the Head of laity Vincent Kawunde had no kind words for struggling politician Eugenia Nassolo!
Without mincing words, Mr. Kawunde told off Eugenia Nassolo and asked her not to bother them for votes as Member of Parliament for Rubaga South in 2026 because they are returning their son Hon. Aloysius Mukasa!
MP Mukasa contributed UGX 4M in cash while Nassolo pleged UGX 1M.MP Mukasa has donated to Mosques, Churches, Schools, youth groups, women groups, name it. He is a darling to Rubaga South People.
Denying him a ticket, from a party he served with one heart, shocked his constituents.
In Part II of this story, we will show you how Nassolo, who betrayed NUP in 2021, a lady who disobeyed Principal Kyagulanyi in 2021, a woman known not to be dependable, managed to ‘steal’, Hon. Mukasa’s ticket and why she will never deliver victory to NUP.

MEMBER of Parliament for Rubaga South Constituency, Hon. Aloysius Mukasa Talton Gold’s campaign drives spent the weekend mobilizing Rubaga people to gather in big numbers as Presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’s revolutionary train begins in Rubaga Division today, Monday, and then after, heads to Teso Sub-region.
Hon. Kyagulanyi will be campaigning in Rubaga South, a constituency represented by MP Mukasa and also, Rubaga North of MP Kawalya Abubaker.
Although the NUP Electoral Management Committee (EMC) denied Hon. Mukasa a party ticket over unclear reasons, this has not in anyway stopped the incumbent from mobilizing for his President, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.
On Saturday and Sunday, our reporter came across a campaign trucks with sound systems owned by Hon. Mukasa, moving around Rubaga South Constituency calling out people to turn up in big numbers and receive Mr. Principal who will be campaigning in the constituency, today.
For starters, Rubaga South people requested their MP to contest again which he accepted and his symbol is a ball!
“It’s true am contesting as an independent but i am fully NUP member with a life membership. My President is His Excellency Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi. So we have to receive him today with a vibe! Remember on January 15, 2026, it will be a Kyagulanyi – Mukasa affair. Vote Kyagulanyi, vote the ball.” Said, Hon. Aloysius Mukasa, who was awarded with a Bachelors degree in law, recently.
Parlianentary Score Card listed MP Mukasa as one of the first term Mps who contributed so well in the Plenary and also performed excellently back in the constituency.
Mukasa vowed to defeat other contenders come Jsnuary 15, 2025, calling them political jokers.
His posters are everywhere in the constituency and uses a door to door campaign approach.
Mukasa is known to be a great mobilizer with super campaign tactics. He is a student in marketing, never be shocked if Mukasa beats other contenders in the election, with a very big margin.
Our teams are working on an opinion poll in Rubaga South, reaching out to different parishes, zones and villages. However, from what we have gathered so far, Hon. Mukasa and NRM candidate Musa Mbaziira will face off, for this seat! Others are just following.
Watch the space!

REVERAND, Priests, Mouners, Distinguished Guests, Family, and Friends;Today, we gather at St. Thomas Kiwuunya Church of Uganda, Namirembe Diocese to celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, a devoted sister, and a loving mother, the late Edith Mujomba.
DRCC Kagenyi Lukka
As I stand before you, I am overwhelmed with emotions, recalling the countless memories of my beloved sister, Edith. She was more than just an elder sister; she was my mother, my guardian, and my confidante.
I was only two years old when our mother (May her Soul rest in eternal Peace), passed away in 1983. Edith, at the tender age of 17, took on the responsibility of caring for me. She breastfed me, carried me on her back, and took me to Mulago Hospital for immunization. Her love and care had no bounds.
As I grew up, I came to appreciate the sacrifices she made for our family. She was the glue that held us together, the pillar that supported us, and the guiding light that led us. She was an epitome of wisdom, a reservoir of knowledge, and an encyclopedist who kept all our documents and knew all our dates of birth.
Edith’s love for our family was unwavering. She was a keeper of our history, a storyteller who passed down our family traditions and values to the younger generation.
Her home was always open, and her table was always set for anyone in need. I recall the countless nights she spent awake, nursing me back to health when I was sick, and the countless days she spent in the kitchen, cooking and preparing meals for our family. Her selflessness and generosity inspired me to become the person I am today.
Just a few days ago, I spoke with Edith, and we made plans to meet and travel to the village together. Little did I know that it would be our last conversation. Her passing has left a void in my life, and I will dearly miss her.
Reverend , Priests ,congregants, Distinguished Guests, Family, and Friends, today we celebrate Edith’s life, her love, and her legacy.
We give thanks to God for the gift of her life, her unwavering faith, and her unrelenting commitment to our family.
As we lay her to rest, we take comfort in the words of the Psalmist, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O God, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” (Psalm 138:8).
Edith, rest in peace, dear sister. Your work is done, and your reward is in heaven. May your soul find eternal rest in the loving arms of our Lord.
To our family and friends, I offer these words of comfort: though Edith is no longer with us, her love, her legacy, and her memory will live on in our hearts.May God bless Edith’s soul, and may her family find comfort and peace in this time of sorrow. Amen.
Rotarian Kagenyi Lukka, is the Deputy RCC Kampala City, Kawempe Division, young brother to the late Edith Mujomba
