During his Tuesday episode of “SHARP TALK WITH MIRUNDI,” Tamale Mirundi lost his cool and nearly punched his host Bashir Kazibwe whom he kept dismissing as too inept and biased for the show. Both Kazibwe and Mirundi recently migrated from Kin Kariisa’s more popular NBS TV to go and begin a new life at SK Mbuga’s nascent STV based in Buziga. This was after Kazibwe ineptly permitted Mirundi to defame many big people on a weekly basis while calling them mafia and when management (fearing costly litigation) imposed higher standards by demanding that Mirundi must (in advance) adduce hard evidence on every allegation he intends to make on air, the crude-styled political pundit from Kalisizo rural took things personal and left the station.
In what has so far proved that NBS remains such a huge brand that is simply incomparable to any other, the duo is still struggling to scale rankings for their new show which SK Mbuga initially hoped would make his nascent station scale heights in just weeks. During the Tuesday show, Mirundi (who likes perceiving himself as very important and therefore just doing a favor allowing to be hosted by people like KBM) lost his cool and protested on air saying “banange on Omusajja wamwe mujje mumutwale mumpemu moderator omulala [replace him with a better moderator] because he is too biased.”
Trouble started when Mirundi (whose prolonged character-assassination of Col Kizza Besigye Kazibwe used to acquiesce to at NBS) insisted on exposing espionage secrets of PP/NUP whose Principal Bobi Wine Kyagulanyi Sentamu he insisted was a project put in place by a group of what he called “mafia fellowship members” led by Andrew Mwenda and other heavyweights in NRM. He maintained that Bobi Wine (whose infallibility he has always been confessing for years just to be able to make a case against Besigye) was actually working for powerful people in the NRM government and not the millions of poverty-stricken supporters of PP/NUP as he has always claimed.
Mirundi added that Bobi Wine took up NUP well knowing it’s a party that was formed and incorporated by renowned Musevenists “and Mafia fellowship members” including Andrew Mwenda. He advised the only way to salvage whatever remains of PP/NUP, Bobi Wine should be expelled from the party. Saying Bobi Wine was increasingly turning into “a politically very frustrated boy” was recently desperate to meet Gen Museveni to leak all the secrets of big men in government who want to use him to command or incite his supporters to overthrow the man from Rwakitura using unconstitutional means, Mirundi crudely claimed the requested meeting only flopped because he refused to connect the man from Magere to State House. “He actually called me saying he wants to meet the President and even before unveiling that new party, he rang my phone 10 times and I refused to pick because I was feeling betrayed having realized he has all along been working for the mafia actors like Andrew Mwenda and others to dupe our people,” Mirundi said.
In his characteristic crudeness, Mirundi at some point showed extreme contempt for his host Kazibwe and the STV station management by casually receiving a phone call in the middle of the show and abused the person the other side of the line who had called him. Using near vulgar words, Mirundi told the man calling him to concentrate on satisfying the woman he was sleeping with and leave him alone. He claimed he even had recordings of the Andrew Mwendas and other big people in Museveni’s government discussing things in their secret meeting on how to use Bobi Wine to achieve their dubious political objectives against the interests of Uganda as a country and its people.
A renowned PP/NUP member, Kazibwe was unusually hard on Mirundi insisting this was a national TV show where he can’t just utter his crude things and walk away with it without being tasked to corroborate his claims. The same Kazibwe, who always smiled as Mirundi uttered many false things against Dr. KB, insisted that Mirundi uses his phone to play the contents of the Bobi Wine/Mwenda conspiracy meetings which he claimed to be in possession of. On failing to produce any such recordings, Mirundi (always used to getting away with it) became angry and started dissing Kazibwe who made it clear to him that no Besigye-like malicious propaganda was going to be accepted on STV as long as he was the one moderating or hosting the program. That is how Mirundi, not used to being asked hard questions, lost his cool and demanded (in the middle of the show) that a new moderator be found if he is to continue speaking on his man SK Mbuga’s TV.
He said Kazibwe (whom he claimed was intellectually a very ignorant man blindly following PP/NUP and founder Bobi Wine) had become too biased to be able to continue doing a good job as an objective moderator. Vigorously rejecting Kazibwe’s claims of being an influential insider in PP/NUP, Mirundi claimed to know Bobi Wine’s treacherous politic moves under the new party more than anyone claiming to closely work with him at the Kamwokya-based PP/NUP secretariat.
