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
HON. EDITH Mujomba, elder sister to Kawempe Deputy Resident City Commissioner (DRCC) Rotarian Kagenyi Lukka, has gone to be with the Lord!

LOST A SISTER; Kawempe D/RCC Kagenyi Lukka
Rotarian Kagenyi Lukka has revealed that, “As a family, we are so saddened by the death of our elder sister. When our mother left us at a young age, sistet Edith took care for us. She acted as our mother. In fact, we normally refered to her as, ‘Mama Edith’.
BURIAL ARRANGEMENT OUT

• Organizations, Schools, Companies And Individuals Who Contributed Generously, Named
• ‘Project Starts This Novermber, To Be Completed Next Year’ – Headteacher Kazibwe
BY MOSES MUGALULA

Addressing media shortly after the fundraising dinner at Kings College Budo, campus, Headteacher Can. John Fred Kazibwe (JFK) said, currently, the population of students at Budo is 2600, so they can not fit in an old chapel built in 1959.
Photo: Can. Kazibwe with Omuk. Michael Kawooya Mwebe, CBS boss.
Can. Kazibwe revealed that, “We need to build another chapel that is going to accommodate all of us and that which lifts the glory of God in such an institution”.
Thanking those who contributed and entrusted the school management with their money, Mr. Kazibwe said, the entire project will cost UGX 14 Bn.
Asked why a chapel is that important in a first world school like Kings College Budo, Can. Kazibwe said, it is all about producing learners with Character.
“The country needs people with character that can transform their areas of jurisdiction. The challenges we have in most developing countries, are people who can not be trusted with public funds. A chapel trains people to be honest, to be with integrity, to be people who have a feel for others. And that is why at Kings College Budo, we need a chapel.” Kazibwe told journalists.
According to Can. Kazibwe, work is expected to start this year, mid November, and will be completed within a year.

Was this story published by Daily Monitor on May 21, 2025 against Parliament, a ‘Chemical’?
BY MOSES MUGALULA
A WAR said to have been started by Namuwongo based Daily Monitor and it’s sister media house NTV Uganda against the ruling government in Uganda has deepened!
Few hours after National Media Group, Mother company to Daily Monitor, NTV, Spark tv, 93.3 fm and Dembe radio station released a tough statement protesting a decision to block their journalists from covering the Parliament of Uganda on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 and a months-long blockage from covering the President of Uganda, Mr. Faruk Kirunda, the Special Presidential Assistant on Press and Mobilization has shot back!
In his response, Haji Kirunda says, “To set the record straight: H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni stopped NMG (parent company of DailyMonitor, ntvuganda, 933kfm, etc) from covering him as an individual- after persistent instances of misreporting on him.”
HEAD OF STATE: Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
Kirunda reveals that, one such instance was at Kisozi when Mr. Museveni hosted MPs on a Wealth Creation tour.
“NMG management is aware of these problematic instances, which were brought to their attention. But the President didn’t stop NMG from working in Uganda or covering other Government institutions. Moreover, as PPU, we provide press releases and appreciate their use.” Reads, Mr. Kirunda’s response.
He noted that, President Museveni cannot infringe on Constitutional provisions (on free media) when he was the one who oversaw the return to Constitutionalism and rule of law in Uganda, and is the most media-friendly person.
A day President Museveni had an engagement with journalists in Mukono
On many incidences, President Museveni has been branding Daily Monitor, ‘Enemy paper’, saying it is working for those fighting and sabotaging his government.
WE WILL NOT BE THREATENED – NMG TOUGH STATEMENT
Bellow is a full statement from Nation Media Group (NMG) signed by Ms. Suzan Nsibirwa, Managing Director:
The National Media Group-Uganda has, with deep concern noted the decision to block our journalists from covering the Parliament of Uganda on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
This decision follows a months-long blockage on our journalists from covering the President of Uganda.
Photo: President Museveni arriving for a campaign rally. NMG banned from covering him over what State House calls, misrepresentation of facts against the Head of State
There has been no formal communication to explain this blockade. We have not been informed of any contraventions that we or our journalists might have committed and have therefore been denied the right of reply or due process.
Today’s Page 1 lead story by The Daily Monitor
These rights are not favours. They are enshrined in the 1995 Constitution of Uganda which was enacted 30 years ago this month and are at the heart of the rule of law and good manners upon which free and democratic societies are built.
In addition, The Presidency and Parliament are public institutions funded by taxpayers and accountable to the citizens.
Denying coverage and access to independent media violates the letter and spirit of constitution of Uganda which guarantees freedom of the Press, media and expression. It also denied citizens to know what their elected leaders are doing in their name, undermining accountability, transparency and good governance.
Despite the blockade from the Presidency since March 2025, we have remained committed to our cardinal role of serving the public through journalism that informs, educates and entertains. We have therefore not stopped covering the President.
We also noted that our journalists have been the target of repression and violence, as shown, most recently in the Kawempe North Parliamentary byelection in March 2025 and the current presidential elections.
The latest decision by Parliament therefore, compounds what seems to be a growing cancer of intolerance and restriction on media freedom which we condemn in the strongest terms, possible. Independent media like ours seeks to hold those in power accountable to citizens, following taxpayers money, reporting on human rights and the country’s democracy.
PRINCIPALS OF THE AUGUST HOUSE: Speaker Anita Among and Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa
Playing a watchdog role across government ministries, departments and agencies is part of that mandate.We therefore reiterate that;
• We shall not abdicate our responsibility to do bold and thoughtful journalism and to hold those in power accountable.
• We shall continue to defend media freedoms and the bill of rights guaranteed by our constitution and underpin our constitutional order.
• Lastly, we implore the Presidency and Parliament to hid to the Constitution of Uganda and which provides for the right to access information which is vital for our journalists to do their work. We should always remember that democracy dies in the darkness.
