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.

The Minister of Lands and Housing in Mengo, David FK Mpanga, has applauded the Buganda Land Board (BLB) for its active participation and support towards the upcoming Kabaka Birthday Run scheduled for Sunday, April 6, 2025.

The 2025 run will mark the Kabaka’s 70th birthday celebration under the theme, “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child.”

While handing over the Kabaka Birthday Run kits to BLB Chief Executive Officer Simon Kaboggoza at Bulange on Thursday, Mpanga expressed his joy over the board’s continued commitment to supporting the annual event.

“I am so much overjoyed to hand these kits to the Buganda Land Board who have confirmed participating in the Kabaka Birthday Run as the Kabaka celebrates 70 years of age,” Mpanga said.

Mpanga further encouraged the public to purchase the run kits, which are available at Bulange, Airtel shops, and various outlets.

He noted that the Kabaka himself will officially flag off the run at Lubiri, Mengo on Sunday.

“Let’s buy the kits, available here at Bulange, Airtel shops, and various outlets. Ssaabasajja Kabaka will flag off the run at Lubiri Mengo on Sunday, April 6,” he urged.

Speaking to the media after the kits purchase, Kabogoza emphasized that it is BLB’s responsibility to actively participate in the Kabaka’s Birthday Run every year as a way of celebrating the Kabaka’s birthday.

“It is our mandate as Kabaka’s servants under the Buganda Land Board to participate in this run. All our staff have received the kits, and we are ready to be there at Lubiri to join the Kabaka in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic,” he said.

Mr Kabogoza further called upon all BLB employees and all tenants on Kabaka’s land to take part in the run on Sunday to fulfill the day’s theme. “I urge all occupants of Kabaka’s land also to use this opportunity to support the Kingdom by getting kits for the run,” he said.

The 2025 Kabaka Birthday Run is being held under the theme “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child.”

The initiative aims to mobilize men in the fight against HIV/AIDS, with proceeds from the kits contributing towards health initiatives targeting the protection and well-being of the girl child.
