In Life, Never Issue a Threat You Cannot Implement – MP Katesh Tells off NUP
Sheema Municipality lawmaker Hon. Dickson Kateshumbwa has advised the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) to stop wasting time fighting Hon. Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba, the party Vice chairperson for Buganda region.
Speaking while appearing on the Capital Gang over the weekend the former Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) commissioner said the Makerere, Kavule based political Party is strategically making mistakes that are taking it into self-destruction.
Kateshumbwa equated the efforts being used to fight mpuuga like writing on water.
He said Mpuuga is well polished and respected leader who cannot go down simply because some people want to see it that way.
“In life, never issue a threat you cannot implement because it ends up exposing your weaknesses. If I was a member of the National Unity Platform, I would advise them to concentrate on issues bringing them together than what divides them.” Hon. Kateshumbwe said adding that the more NUP focuses on internal wars, the more the ruling party penetrates its grounds.
In response, the leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Joel Ssenyonyi says the party will not back down on its position against Mpuuga.
He noted that NUP planning nationwide mobilisation activities after internal disciplinary actions that saw his predecessor Mathias Mpuuga being suspended as the party’s vice president in charge of Buganda region.
The party suspended Mpuuga after accusing him of pocketing Shs 500 million as a service award from the Parliamentary Commission, which they say was against their values to fight corruption.
Ssenyonyi says Mpuuga is not the first party leader to be suspended since Moses Bigirwa, the former secretary for Mobilisation in charge of Eastern Uganda was suspended after engaging in what Ssenyonyi termed as problematic monetary issue
