While appearing on Kabaka’s CBS radio, Abed Bwanika implored voters in Buganda to become vigilant and ensure that, come 2026, their regjon gets higher calibre legislators to represent it than is currently the case.
Bwanika says that in Buganda, even people who are clearly unworthy leveraged the Kyagulangi wave in 2021, paid up some money and got the NUP flag ending up in the 11th Parliament.
“Many of them campaigned only in Luganda and cracked many jokes to trivialise those who hadn’t been given the party card and got hard up upon joining the House. In Parliament, we debate in English which they don’t know. Many of them can’t even construct one sentence in the English language and that’s how this crisis started. But the good thing is that we now have the opportunity to listen to Kabaka’s message and vote wisely come 2026.”
Squarely blaming the problem on the Kyagulanyi wave, Bwanika said actors from other regions are now laughing at Buganda for sending such inept MPs to the 11th Parliament.
Gratefully, Busujju MP David Kalwanga (who denied being among the crude MPs Baganda voted in 2021) was in the same studios and countered Dr. Bwanika by asserting that: “Yes that may be regrettable but the bigger problem is the fact that many of the so-called good English speakers are double dealers always making selfish deals to weaken the opposition and their lukewarm committment of being fake in the opposition has discouraged many would-be better quality leaders in Buganda from coming to elective politics.”
Bwanika said this is why his boss Mathias Mpuuga’s reforms proposals are deliberate and ought to be supported by all people of good will. “We, for instance, want that requirement on civil servants to first resign their jobs to be dropped because its discouraging many good people of prudent understanding and who are well educated from coming to offer leadership through elective politics,” Bwanika said as NRM’s Kasule Ssebunya nodded in approval.
