Outgoing Rubaga South MP Aloysius Mukasa has made wild claims against incoming Euginia Nassolo who stands high chances of trouncing him come 15th January because now she is the one with the NUP flag.
Mukasa says Nassolo constrained his ability to render social services to the people of Rubaga South because she took him to court making all manner of claims and allegations in her election petition after being defeated (on the DP ticket) in 2021.
Mukasa says that, to withdraw the petition challenging his victory, Nassolo (who he defeated with more than 25,000 votes difference) demanded for a lot of money from him.
In a media interview with Baba TV’s Kisitu, Mukasa claimed Nassolo demanded and got colossal sums of money from him, which he paid to buy her silence.
Mukasa said he had to sell some of the ambulances he had bought to serve the constituency in order to be able to raise the huge bribe Nassolo demanded and received from him. That the money Nassolo took left him financially limping for the entire period of five years (2021-2026) and that diminished his capacity to deliver the many good things he intended to do for his voters.
Mukasa said he needs a full TV show of two hours to be able to detail Nassolo’s treacherous ways including accepting to run against him on the DP flag in 2021 in order to protest the fact that the NUP flag had been given to him and not to her. He said this demonstrates Nassolo is a mere political opportunist with lukewarm commitment to NUP.
He called on Rubaga voters to vote him back come 15th January 2026 because he has come as a NUP-leaning independent unlike Euginia Nassolo who decamped and came on DP in 2021 merely because she hadn’t been chosen to be the flag bearer. Even when he has rarely been seen talking in Parliament, Mukasa claimed to have been one of the most outspoken legislators in both plenary and committee sessions during the time of the 11th Parliament whose tenure will be ending May next year.
