SHOCKING! IS FORMER JINJA WEST MP BALYEKU MOSES SET TO DEFECT FROM MUHOOZI’S CAMP TO NUP? HE SAYS, BOBI WINE HAS ‘ELECTRICITY’

NEWS EDITOR POLITICAL DESK

JUST IN, money magnet Balyeku Moses Grace, former Member of Parliament for Jinja Municipality West Constituency, owner of Ntinda based Baba tv and Baba FM in Jinja has sent shocking waves through his NRM supporters after a post on his facebook page praising NUP President Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi as the man with electricity!

However, his Media aide Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam has strongly refuted the allegations, saying it’s fake!

At first, Balyeku posted the opposition NUP symbol on his known facebook page. The two posts raised a number of questions amongst his supporters, some asking whether this businessman isn’t making a political blunder he will live to regret!

Balyeku lost to FDC’ Batuwa Timothy Lusala in last elections, and he already announced his intention to contest again in 2026 to reclaim his seat.

Recently, Balyeku was seen with the PLU team chanting Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and if it’s true that the same guy is now praising Bobi Wine and NUP Party, that will be the betrayal of the century!

For starters, Balyeku was unveiled Vice President of MK Movement in 2023. Why would he then change goal posts.

Analysts say, if it’s true that Balyeku wants to join NUP because of Kyagulanyi’s electricity, he will be politically playing on a safer side because in 2021, Bobi Wine defeated NRM candidate Yoweri Kaguta Museveni both in Buganda and Busoga and he might resoundingly win the two regions again, come 2026 General elections.

So, for Balyeku to post that Kyagulanyi has electricity, that looks to be a well thought statement before it was posted on the former MP’s facebook page.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON BALYEKU’S BOBI PRAISING STATEMENT

BALYEKU IS NOT ON FACEBOOK, HIS PAGE WAS HACKED – AIDE

Whereas Balyeku’s post has gone viral on social media, his media aide Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam has refuted these allegations saying the former MP strongly subscribes to the ruling NRM Party and a staunch believer in the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) headed by 1st Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

Speaking to this leading investigative news website, Mr. Kungu said, “Please disregard such allegations, they are fake. Ever since Hon. Balyeku’s page was hacked, he ceased being on Facebook. He did not post anything in support of NUP and will never, please be informed.”

On his X (former tweeter), Hon. Balyeku has posted, “ALERT: My official Facebook page has been hacked. The hacker is currently posting false and misleading information. Please disregard any recent posts or messages. We are working to resolve the issue. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

BATTLE FOR MAKINDYE WEST: HOW NRM’S DOREEN KEITA RAID SLUMS AND GHETTOS IN A PLOT TO UNSEAT NUP’S SSEWANYANA

NEWS EDITOR POLITICAL DESK

THE campaign launched recently by the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) dubbed Buganda for NRM in 2026 elections, has started worrying opposition political parties especially National Unity Platform (NUP). Leaders are having sleepless nights!

In Makindye West, where for years, opposition political parties had not faced real resistance in past elections, this time, NRM has unveiled a competent aspirant in the names of Doreen Keita, who once served as Deputy RCC Makindye Division!

MP MATERIAL: Doreen Keita for Makindye West MP

Commonly known as Maama Makindye, Ms. Keita has already vowed to retire Allan Ssewanyana from Makindye West Constituency politics and warned whoever plans to contest for Makindye West MP seat, not to waste his or her money!

Whereas the incumbent, NUP’s Allan Ssewanyana managed to sail through in 2021, Keita’s camp says, 2026 will be a different story! All is set for their candidate to comb ghetto and slum areas of Makindye, afterall she was the deputy RCC of the area and perfectly knows all corners like in Luwafu, Katwe and Nsambya, the three are densely populated areas in the constituency.

We are told, NRM party is now busy engaging the youths in these slum areas, trying to solve the economic challenges, they are facing. Never be shocked if youth massively vote for NRM in 2026 Geblneral elections.

Over the Easter weekend, Ms. Doreen Keita, spent it in meetings with the ghetto youths, strategizing on how to reach out to other youth so that, no vote goes to waste! Among youth she met were those subscribing to NUP and other opposition political parties. She also met youths from the Patriotic League of Uganda, a pressure group led President Museveni’s son, by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces.

For NUP youths, Keita met at Sharing Hall Nsambya, they expressed their disappointment with some of their party leaders, whom they worked so hard in 2021 General elections, to help capture the elective positions. However, they have been forgotten.

“We spent sleepless nights, soliciting votes for the likes of Allan Ssewanyana and other opposition political leaders. But immediately, they took offices, we were abandoned. They have not lobbied for us, and our voice isnt heard in Parliament. Better to go with NRM so that we tap on the poverty eradication programs brought by President Museveni’s government.” said a noe Musa Kironde, a youth, residing in Nsambya.

These youth want to be connected to get startup capital so that they can start small businesses, asking Ms. Keita to get them Youth Livelihood Funds.

In her response, Ms. Keita, said its good for the youth, now to realise that opposition leaders used and later dump them. “It’s very painful to see people you helped to get offices, abandoned you. You fought so hard, to put them in offices but they have not considered you or involved you, in any economic activity. I will be your voice, i will lobby for funds and end unehployment.” Keita added.

She however assured them that she would bridge the gap, having engaged with many of them as former deputy RCC. She will try to solve some of the challenges they are facing. “You know very well, that I am approachable. I have moved with some of you, so if we work as a team, we shall solve some of the problems, you are facing,” Keita told the youth.

WHY NUP MUST PANIC

The strategy by NRM party to camp in the slums of Makindye West constituency, Hon. Sewanyana and other aspirants like Farouk Ntege are already panicking.

Infact at a certain function, Ntege was heard saying, Keita and other NRM leaders are doing a lot to convince the poor and the youths, who are unemployed join the ruling party. “We are aware of what NRM leaders are doing. Better we wake up and take them or we are finished,” Ntege said.

For Sewanyana, he said some of his party supporters are in bed with Keita to decampaign him. For startes, Ssewanyana is in very bad books of his party and chances are high that he won’t be given the NUP Party card. However, this won’t stop him.from contesting. He is likely to come as an independent candidate. NUP is shopping for either Mulyanyama, Zahara Luyirika or David Musiri. The fight for NUP Party ticket, analysts say, will bring a real fight within NUP and this will be of an added advantage to the NRM’s Keita!

Keita however told opposition politicians, that they are living in denial. Basing on the research, conducted, Keita said NUP can’t win Makindye division again. “The locals are tired of NUP leaders. They are only good at talking and abusing leaders. The locals are yearning for service delivery. We are coming to be a voice for Makindye West Constituency.” Said Ms. Keita.

WE WILL VOTE NRM: NUP Youth waiting to meet Hon. Doreen Keita

Last month, in the neighbouring constituency, Makindye East, voters in Ggaba, chased away their legislator Derrick Nyeko, accusing him of abandoning them only to return because elections are near.

For PLU, Keita appreciated them for the work they are doing for the NRM party and Government, adding that there is need to work as one family, so that they don’t miss the bigger picture. “As NRM Party, we have something to show than other parties. They work hard to fail us but they won’t manage. We have done a lot for this country and achieved a lot,” said Keita, now serving as the RDC Mpigi district.

SPEAKER ANITA AMONG MOURNS GREAT FRIEND POPE FRANCIS, SAYS, ‘HOLLY SEA WAS A DEVOTED SPIRITUAL SHEPHERD’! TOP SECRETS WHY THE TWO HAVE BEEN TOO CLOSE

BY MOSES MUGALULA

CRESTFALLEN Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among has mourned the passing of her great friend, Pope Francis saying, the departed Holly Sea was passionate about social justice and world peace. Pope Francis returned back to God, yesterday morning, a day after her presided over Easter Mass.

Madam Speaker has talked about her closeness with The World’s Catholic Supreme leader and why we have lost a great leader!

In her message posted on X (former tweeter), Speaker Anita Among said, she was joining the Catholic Community, Mother Church, and the entire world in praying for the peaceful repose of the soul of the fallen Pontif.

“It is with deep sorrow and a profound sense of loss that I join millions around the world in mourning the Holy Father. During the many private audiences I had with him, he exemplified a life of humility and compassion. He was a powerful advocate for social justice and dedicated his life to serving God.” Reads Speaker Anita Among’s message.

The Bukedea district woman Member of Parliament revealed that, Pope Francis truly embodied humility, compassion, and a commitment to social justice.

“I have had the privilege and honor of meeting Pope Francis on several occasions. He was a devoted spiritual shepherd, committed to his faith and to the mission of uniting the Church throughout the world,“ Reveals Madam Speaker.

Talking about her personal friend, Rt. Hon. Anita Among said, Pope Francis was passionate about social justice and world peace. He boldly advocated for religious tolerance and forgiveness among the faithful in the Universal Church.

His passing, occurring after Holy Week—during which the Risen Lord Jesus Christ overcame death at Easter—is a true testament to the divine grace in which his mission and vocation were rooted. “The Parliament of Uganda and I join in prayer for the Catholic Church and all Christian believers. Eternal peace grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.” Speaker Anita Among.

POPE, AMONG FRIENDSHIP

As a matter of fact, Rt. Hon. Anita Among is a staunch Catholic who automatically pays allegiance to Pope. However, this isn’t enough for the two to be that close! Insiders say, Pope and Speaker Among have been friends for years. In fact, they have been talking on phone.

When Anita Among got elected as Deputy Speaker Parliament of Uganda in 2021, Pope Francis congratulated and blessed her to serve with perfection. Months later when she became the overall Speaker of the August House, Pope was the happiest. He has been relentlessly praying for our Speaker especially when some un identified wrong elements started trailing her. Vatican became another home for our Speaker and evertime she got challenges, would fly home for The Holly father to prayer and counsel her.

Recently when Speaker gave birth to twins, Pope invited them for the blessings. Pontif was very excited to receive the twins and their beloved mum.

We are reliably informed that, Pope Francis liked Speaker Anita Among for her resilience and determination to promote peace, unity and fighting for the girl child. He loved her more for the immense support towards Catholic Church. Insiders say, Pope had hopes in Anita’s leadership. Have you ever asked yourself, why Speaker Anita uses Pope’s photo on most of her social media pages?

Our heartfelt condolences to Madam Speaker for the great loss of her best friend, her Pope!

UPDF DEPLOYMENT IN SOUTH SUDAN: A TIMELY AND CRUCIAL STEP FOR REGIONAL STABILITY! HERE IS WHY

UPDF DEPLOYMENT IN SOUTH SUDAN: A TIMELY AND CRUCIAL STEP FOR REGIONAL STABILITY! HERE IS WHY

PHOTO: UPDF on Mission in South South Sudan. In set is Adam Kungu, the author

OPINION BY: KUNGU AL-MAHADI ADAM

IN MARCH 2025, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) deployed special forces to Juba, South Sudan, under Operation Mlinzi wa Kimya (Silent Guardian), at the request of President Salva Kiir.

This move, approved by Uganda’s Parliament, has sparked debate, with critics like South Sudan’s First Vice President Riek Machar alleging violations of the 2018 peace agreement and UN arms embargo.

Yet, the deployment is not only timely but also a testament to Uganda’s enduring commitment to peacekeeping and regional stability in a volatile East African landscape.

South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, teeters on the brink of renewed conflict. The house arrest of Machar, rising ethnic tensions, and clashes in Upper Nile and Jonglei states threaten to unravel the fragile 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan. The United Nations has warned of a potential return to civil war, with 21 civilians killed in a recent airstrike in Nasir.

Against this backdrop, the UPDF’s presence in Juba is a proactive measure to secure key population centers, protect humanitarian access, and prevent a security catastrophe that could destabilize the region. Uganda’s intervention is rooted in a history of stabilizing South Sudan.

From 2013 to 2016, the UPDF played a pivotal role in preventing opposition forces from ousting Kiir’s government, preserving the state’s sovereignty during a brutal civil war that claimed over 400,000 lives. Today’s deployment builds on that legacy, focusing on peace enforcement, border security, and collaboration with South Sudan’s government to curb the flow of illegal arms across porous borders.

The UPDF’s mission aligns with bilateral security agreements, including longstanding pacts to combat threats like the Lord’s Resistance Army, and reflects Uganda’s strategic interest in a stable neighbor. As Defence Minister Jacob Oboth noted, “Peace in South Sudan means peace in Uganda.”

Critics, including Machar’s SPLM-IO, argue that the UPDF’s presence risks escalating tensions and undermines the 2018 peace deal. These concerns, while valid, overlook the immediate need to avert chaos.

The UPDF’s deployment is not a unilateral act but a response to a formal request from South Sudan’s government, endorsed by Uganda’s lawmakers in a spirit of, “brotherhood, solidarity, and shared historical ties.” Moreover, accusations of civilian targeting and arms embargo violations remain unsubstantiated, with the UPDF denying claims of airstrikes in civilian areas. The African Union’s deployment of a panel to mediate tensions further underscores the regional consensus on de-escalation, with Uganda as a key player.

Uganda’s contributions to peacekeeping extend beyond South Sudan. The UPDF has been a cornerstone of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), now ATMIS, neutralizing al-Shabaab and securing Mogadishu’s government.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ugandan forces have targeted ADF rebels, protecting civilians and fostering cross-border stability. These efforts have earned the UPDF a reputation as one of Africa’s most disciplined and effective militaries, often called upon when regional crises demand decisive action.

The $39.1 billion sought by the UPDF for its South Sudan operation reflects the scale of this commitment, ensuring logistical support for troops tasked with protecting lives and facilitating humanitarian aid.Skeptics may question Uganda’s motives, pointing to economic and political interests or the influence of President Yoweri Museveni’s inner circle.

Yet, these critiques risk overshadowing the broader imperative: a stable South Sudan benefits not just Uganda but the entire East African Community.Instability in Juba could trigger refugee flows, disrupt trade routes, and embolden armed groups, with ripple effects felt in Kampala, Nairobi, and beyond.Uganda’s proximity to South Sudan—sharing a 435-kilometer border—makes its stake in peace undeniable.The UPDF’s deployment is not a panacea. Lasting peace in South Sudan requires inclusive dialogue, adherence to the 2018 agreement, and reforms to address ethnic divisions and governance failures.

Regional bodies like IGAD and the AU must intensify mediation efforts, while the international community should support UNMISS’s 20,000 peacekeepers, led by India’s Lieutenant General Mohan Subramanian. However, in the face of imminent collapse, the UPDF’s rapid response provides a critical buffer, buying time for diplomacy to work.

As South Sudan navigates this perilous moment, Uganda’s role as a regional anchor cannot be overstated. The UPDF’s deployment in Juba is a bold yet necessary step to prevent a descent into chaos, reaffirming Uganda’s legacy as a guarantor of peace in a turbulent region.

For the sake of South Sudan’s people and East Africa’s future, the international community must rally behind this effort, recognizing that stability in one nation strengthens the entire continent.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

FOOTBALL administrators, lovers and fans in Uganda led by FUFA top leadership today, morning, welcomed back home our heroes, the U17 National football team which put a smile on our faces after trouncing Gambia 2:1 in Morocco on Sunday, to book a slot in the World Cup finals which will be played in Qatar, this year.

This will be the first time in Uganda’s history, our national football team to play in the World Cup finals. Thanks to the Government of Uganda, The Parliament of Uganda, FUFA President Hon. Eng. Moses Magogo and his hardworking team at FUFA!

In this story, we will look at Eng. Magogo’s maths, how his approach enabled our boys to make it to the World Cup finals. Then in the next article, we will bring Hon. Magogo’s speech at the function organised for our boys.

ENG. MAGOGO’S MATHS

Until 2015, when FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo had been in office for only years, that the National football governing body started a strategy to compete at youth football levels in CECAFA, Africa, and the world.

FROM YOUR SWEAT YOU WILL EAT: Boys line up for food on their return

The FUFA Juniors League U17 was founded in 2015, thanks to schools in Uganda that supported the youth football strategy, Odilo started in 2019, and the FUFA Tv Cup in 2023.

For starters, Mukwala Steven at Edgars Youth Programme in 2015 (now at Simba in Tanzania)was the top scorer of the FUFA Juniors LeagueNational Teams started to engage with U15, U17, playing international competitions. Some players like Lukyamuzi Ashraf, Langol Joseph, Ogema Thomas, Wanyama Simon, Okello Richard, and Owino John Brian were in the U15 Uganda National team Squad in 2023. Schools of football excellence identified for youth football projects lined up by FUFA to give every child a chance to play. Some of the players in ‘The Cubs’ who defeated Gambia in Morocco on Saturday have played Odilo (Langol Joseph and Simon Wanyama scorer against Tanzania).

Fans who went to Entebbe International Airport to receive our boys

Before 2013, FUFA didn’t have a permanent employee dedicated to youth football (now we have Mutyaba since 2015 as the Youth football Development Manager and under the Technical Master Plan he is the Elite Football Development Manager). Okello Richard played in the CECAFA U15 tournament at the FUFA Technical centre, Njeru.

Uganda schools take part in the CAF Pan Africa Schools championships under the Mostepe Foundation (of the CAF President). Some of the players like Mukwanga Adrian, Mubiru Trevor, Kyakuwa Ashiraf, and Ogema Thomas have participated in these championships at National, Zonal and Continental level and are part of the current Uganda U17 team.

Youth Player regulations include double licences by FUFA to allow players to feature in both the senior league (Uganda Premier League, Big League) and youth competitions. While on the CAF Executive, Eng. Magogo advocated for the regional underage qualification, and this has given Uganda and CECAFA countries better opportunities.The FUFA Technical Master Plan (TMP) was introduced in 2024 to improve elite player development path from identification to development.TMP by FUFA is being studied by FIFA for worldwide implementation. Kenneth Semakula, Gavin Kizito, Bobosi Byaruhanga, Travis Mutyaba, Rogers Mato, Azizi Kayondo, shaban Mhamamed now with the senior national team-Uganda Cranes from the junior Leagues and national youth teams in continental competitions.

WHY ALL THIS NOW YET SINCE 1985 THESE COMPETITIONS HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE

First of all, FUFA set up the Football Development Department in 2018. Clubs resisting initially the start of the FUFA Juniors League but later embraced the FUFA Youth football programmes.

ACHIEVEMENTS

● Trophies won by Uganda at men’s youth football includes:

1. Uganda U17 Qualifies for FIFA Worls Cup U17

2. Uganda U20 finished runners up AFCON U20 in 2021 in Mauritania and had it not bene due to covid, the U20 team would have played at the FIFA World cup but the tournament a cancelled.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

WE have the latest on the information which started circulating on different media platforms since yesterday about our Members of Parliament pocketing UGX 100M each in a Cash Bonanza! However, in today’s sitting, Speaker Thomas Tayebwa distanced self from this cash bonanza and asked whoever received his share to vomit it, as soon as possible!

Members of Parliament who subscribe to the ruling NRM Party, some from DP, FDC MPs, and some NUP MPs received 100M each, apart from a few, especially NUP legislators who are accused of being Hon. Bobi Wine’s loyalists!

NUP MPs who did not receive the money include 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 and Frank Kabuye (Kassanda South), among a few other Bobi loyalists! Some of these MPs have already released statements denying knowledge of such a cash bonanza.

PHOTO: Bobi Wine with opposition MPs at Parliament recently

In fact, these very MPs have been missing on such lists whenever there has been a Cash bonanza at Parliament. They are taken to be Kyagulanyi’s spies at Parliament and who report any bad deal, to Principal.

According to latest information, this money was not banked on MPs’ bank accounts, the beneficiaries were called in person to pick his or her sack of money, to kill any traces of evidence.

It is alleged that this money is intended to help them in improving on mobilization strategies for government programs although rumour has it that, it is a handshake to thank Members for passing the coffee bill and also, kind of a bribe to pass the UPDF amendment Bill which will empower the court martial to try civilians!

It is on record that most opposition MPs led by LOP Joel Ssenyonyi walked out of Parliament on a day the Coffee Amendment bill was passed after security men attacked and beaten some opposition Members of Parliament.

We will give you a full detailed list of Mps who have not revieve the 100M cash bonanza.

2026 UPDATE: OPPOSITION GURUS IN KAMPALA SHOP FOR FDC DANGERMAN IBRAHIM KASOZI FOR LORDMAYOR TO UNSEAT LUKWAGO! THE REPEAT OF KAFUMBE MUKASA VS BABU DEADLIEST RACE

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

INFORMATION reaching our news desk, FDC dangerman Ibrahim Kasozi who once served as Makindye East Member of Parliament in the 10th Parliament, has been approached by leading opposition gurus, religious and opinion leaders in Kampala to offer himself for Lordmayoral seat in the forthcoming elections to help change the face of the rotting Capital City of Uganda.

Will this race between counsel Ibrahim Kasozi and Ssalongo Erias Lukwag be a replica of Kafumbe Mukasa Vs Capt. Francis Babu, the ever deadliest election campaign in Kampala Central?

In an improputu meeting held today morning, opposition leaders want to retire Erias Lukwago saying he has overstayed as Lordmayor and therefore has nothing new to offer the residents of Kampala apart from involving himself in useless fights and driving in expensive cars as Kampala rots to the bone every passing day.

Their view is that, Lukwago should go seek a member of parliament seat instead, or else go home and rest!

By press time, our calls to Hon. Kasozi were going unanswered, we wanted him to confirm whether he will stand for Lordmayor in 2026 as requested by Kampala political Kingmakers.

However our reliable sources say, all is set for this generous young man to contest and win this seat and the opposition leaders in Kampala are not about to reverse their move to remove Lukwago from this top job!

“Mr. Lukwago has been lordmayor since 2011. He has messed up the whole capital city. He is fond of useless fights whereas Kampala people more so traders and the informal sector goes through hardships with heavy taxes levied on them. Look at the floods in Kampala, the poor drainage system, the poorly disposed waste and potholes in Kampala. The best from Mr. Lukwago is lamentation and useless tears. Enough is enough, Kampala deserves better, we can’t have more 5 years of Lukwago’s lame excuses. Let’s save our capital city from going to the dogs.” Revealed one of the leading opposition politicians in a crisis meeting held today.

Those who attended this meeting agreed to put up a spirited fight and save Kampala, the heart of Buganda.They urged that since Lukwago is now the president of Besigye’s party, he should be left to concentrate on building their Party, if need be, contesting for president but anything concerning coming back for Lordmayor in 2026 should be forgotten.

ABOUT HON. IBRAHIM KASOZI

Now serving as one of the FDC top leaders, Hon. Kasozi lives an exemplary life. He served with honesty and integrity as Member of Parliament for Makindye East.The Parliamentary Score card depicted him as one of the best Members of Parliament. He didn’t involve himself in any scandals and perfectly served as Chairman COSASE!

Infact the report he made, was an eye opener for government that was losing assets worth billions yearly over Indian Assets.

Back in the constituency, Kasozi was a great lobbiest who evidently supported youth groups, women associations, sports, church and Mosque construction. Most people prefer to refer to him as Mr Performer. Although he didn’t make it back to parliament due to the political wave at that time, Kasozi didn’t leave his constituents. It is on record that he was the first to congratulate NUP man Hon. Derrick Nyeko for winning the elections and through his whole term, Kasozi has not fought Nyeko. Up to date Kasozi Is invited on different functions as a chief guest in the constituency because of his benevolent and Generous spirit.

A man of all seasons and man of the people, Kasozi has never hesitated in standing with his people at a time of need. Many think that, he will be the best Lord Mayor Kampala will ever have.

Kasozi started his politics at a tender age as Dr. Besigye’s Personal Assistant a job he performed to his best.He was a great strategist and is very much remembered during 2006 Besigye’s presidential campaigns, an election many believe that was won by the Rukungiri man.

Kasozi is a political survivor, he was involved in a fatal accident and got a fracture while serving his master, then, Dr. Besigye.

A lawyer by profession, a farmer and a successful businessman, Hon. Kasozi has politically groomed many leaders, bailed out youth, financially supported opposition politicians and he is truly a man of action not words. He is known to be a darling to many opposition figures, very close to Prince Kassim Nakibinge, Archbishop Church of Uganda Dr. Kazimba Mugalu and the Catholic Church leadership.

HARD WORKING: Hon. Kasozi

About two years ago, Kasozi donated a lorry full of Cement to Namirembe Diocese to help in the construction of Mission House. He did the same to Gaba Catholic Parish. Such generous leaders in Kampala, are few.

He is in very good books with Buganda Kingdom and insiders say, him and the Kingdom are really close.

KASOZI, BOBI TIES

The two are great buddies. For starters, whereas the likes of Hon. Betty Nambooze Bakireke tried to frustrate Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi’s Kyaddondo East MP hopes during a by-election in 2018, then MP Ibrahim Kasozi held a meeting with Bobi and gave him full financial support. Kasozi has never attacked Bobi on any front and Nubian Li normally hangs out with Hon. Kasozi. About why then, Bobi fronted Nyeko against Kasozi in last elections, that will be a story for another day.

But the fact of the matter is, Kasozi and Bobi, are politically brothers of the same father from a different mother.

WHAT ABOUT MP HOPES?

HON. KASOZI: Former MP Makindye East

Although Kasozi originally had hopes for the re- election of Makindye East Member of Parliament in 2026 and his teams were already on ground for kakuyege, the new developments have not left him the same. His camp is already buying the changes and might consider to contest for Lordmayor, a seat he can easily win.

OTHER CONTENDERS

NUP is still at crossroads on who to front for Lordmayor.Rumour has it that the party has zeroed on Nakawa East Member of Parliament Hon. Eng. Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo who once served as Nakawa Mayor.

Analysts say, Balimwezo is good in matters of local government and a great mobilizer but lacks network and funds to drive his move. The religious factor also disturbs him!

Of recent, winning such a big seat in Kampala when you are not a moslem, is like milking a rock! For the ruling NRM, they look as if they are not interested in the seat, true they will front a candidate but as usual, it’s just for accountability. This is a developing story!
