Mpuuga Accuses NUP of Sabotaging His Efforts for Dialogue

Parliamentary Commissioner Mathias Mpuuga has accused the National Unity Platform (NUP) leadership of deliberately ignoring his request for a meeting and instead working to tarnish his reputation among party members.

Mpuuga revealed that he formally wrote to the party requesting dialogue but has yet to receive a response.

“I wrote to the leading opposition party (NUP) asking for a meeting. I haven’t received a reply,” Mpuuga stated.

Instead, he claims to have been personally attacked by the party’s Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya , whom he accused of failing to grasp the full extent of the situation.

“However, I saw their Secretary General spiting me personally. I think he doesn’t know the full degree of what he is dealing with,” Mpuuga said.

He further suggested that he has refrained from disclosing sensitive information that could potentially change public perception of the party’s internal operations.

“I have constrained myself a lot. If I spoke about certain things and individuals, you would be shocked,” he remarked.

Mpuuga also alleged that NUP has been actively influencing MPs against him, calling them individually to paint him in a negative light.

“You would not know, for example, how NUP would call MPs, one by one, to educate them on how Mpuuga is a bad man,” he added.

His remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Mpuuga and NUP, following his fallout with the party leadership over accusations of corruption and alleged secret dealings with the ruling government.
