Pastor Evans Mayambala is a renowned inspirational speaker in Kampala and is currently standing to become the mayor of Nansana division in Wakiso district, under Nansana Municipality.
On Saturday, he appeared on CBS’ Gakyali Mabaga program but it didn’t go that well for him. The moderator Martin Oscar Kintu was very hard on him after he consistently refused to stick to the day’s topic.
Instead, Mayambala, considering himself to be senior and more import ant than other panelists, insisted on discussing his own things. He castigated the violence the security agencies unleashed on Bobi Wine campaign entourage members in Mbarara resulting into arrest of many of them. He then proposed that the EC, as the referee, must assert itself by considering to disqualify the NRM candidate Gen YK Museveni and NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi.
He then proceeded to talk about the issues of Nansana Division, which he promised to addressed as new Mayor. He was also very contemptuous of earlier speakers like Commissioner Fred Bamwine whose earlier submission, regarding the Mbarara chaos, he trashed. He praised himself as a very knowledgeable and well-read leader the people of Nansana must not miss the opportunity to have.
He quoted several books which he said every intending leader of this season, must read. One of the books he quoted was alleged to have been authored by Ghanaian Founding President Kwame Nkrumah. He claimed Nkrumah had written and published that book in the year 1979 yet by that time, Nkrumah was already dead. In actual sense, the Ghanaian big man died in April 1972 and there is no way he could have written and published a book in 1979.
Being a vastly knowledgeable moderator himself, Oscar Martin Kintu tried to correct this record but Evans Mayambala remained unrepentant and insisted that he is a knowledgeable person who knows very well what he was talking about. It was at this point that Oscar concluded it was not very appropriate to allow such a panelist to continue talking on Kabaka’s radio.
He cut Mayambala short and ordered him off the microphone and that was the end. It indeed was a very humiliating moment for the Pastor who has always been celebrated for being deeply knowledgeable and well-read.
