The Nyendo Mukungwe Legislature, a previous Leader of the Opposition and the present deputy head of the National Unity Platform NUP, is facing difficulties after his party issued a clear directive insisting that he step down due to allegations of corruption and misappropriation of public funds.

In this ongoing online movement known as the #Uganda Parliament Exhibition, the focus is on exposing corrupt government officials and opposition partisans who mishandle public offices.

The excitement has intensified as not just NRM members, but also some opposition figures, have been implicated in mishandling public funds and participating in corrupt activities.

For the Masaka Mukungwe and former Democratic Party delegate who joined NUP in the coalition named the DP blog, prior this week the parliament had passed a total sum of 500M to the departed LoP Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba as a thanks giving.

This in the face of his masters was a sign and a form of corruption and they were displeased with it and thus they called him off from the duty of the parliament commissioner.

In a statement released by the NUP secretariat on Thursday evening, Party President Robert Kyagulanyi, commonly referred to as Bobi Wine, convened a gathering with top party officials. The objective of the assembly was to confront the corruption accusations that had emerged, implicating numerous NUP figures, including Mpuuga, who formerly served as the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, alongside other commissioners.

These allegations revolve around irregular distributions of substantial sums of money to themselves under the guise of service accolades. Mpuuga, specifically, is alleged to have received 500 million shillings through this procedure.

Mathias Mpuuga, known for his diplomatic prowess and oratory skills, has sparked speculation of an association with the ruling party NRM. This speculation stems from events dating back to when Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the patron of NUP, replaced Mpuuga with Joel Ssenyonyi as the Leader of the Opposition.

It appeared as though Ssentamu was already aware that Mpuuga had distanced himself and begun associating and collaborating with the ruling party NRM!

Recently, Mpuuga, situated in Masaka City, halted the “Kunga” movement in Masaka, sparking conflicts with the party and their ongoing projects. When confronted by the press to comment on the unfolding scandals, Mpuuga explicitly stated his unwillingness to provide any remarks at this time.

“I will respond when I am ready; just be calm because there is nothing to hurry about,” Nyendo-Mukungwe MP Mathias Mpuuga told New Vision Online via phone on Friday, March 1, 2024.
