Insiders at the IPOD Secretariat say that in case Robert Kyagulanyi humbles himself in ways that satisfy Gen Museveni and once again qualifies for IPOD money, his NUP will be getting Shs10bn every year because of the 50 MPs they have managed to get in 2026 elections. In five years, that will be Shs50bn, which isn’t bad money at all.
Of these, 41 are from Buganda region, followed by Busoga and Bugisu where JB Nambeshe comes from. Under the new arrangement, sources say that, Museveni is willing to allow each party with an MP in parliament to be getting Shs50m per quarter for every MP they have in parliament.
A financial year has 4 quarters each of three months. This means that each MP will fetch for the party 200m in a year, which has four quarters. Out of NUP’s 50 MPs in the 12th parliament, Kyagulanyi will be earning Shs10bn per year.
Each MP will fetch Kavule Shs200m annually, which comes to a total of Shs10bn. This is good money for Mr. Wine and his Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya to enjoy as they continue leading and preparing millions of their so-called foot soldiers to escort Gen Museveni or his son MK to victory once again in 2031.
In case this proposal of Shs200m per MP per year doesn’t get operationalized, Kyagulanyi will still have the Shs5bn per year. Under the current arrangement of IPOD, each MP fetches a party Shs100m per year, translating into Shs25m per quarter.
This still isn’t bad money for Mr. Wine who, without politics, would by now be grassing because as a musician, he had burned out and become a spent force and no longer had any more hit songs as of 2017 when he joined politics as MP for Kyadondo East.
The assumption is that all NUP MPs, the 50, will remain in Parliament without being removed through court petitions by NRM rivals and also without becoming rebellious like Abed Bwanika, Jimmy Lwanga, Twaha Kagabo and avoid blocking the coming of such funds to Kavule.
