Bobi Mobilised People to Speak ill About me in my Constituency – Mpuuga
The national coordinator of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Mathias Mpuuga has accused Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, the president of the National Unity Platform (NUP), of rallying individuals to speak poorly of him.
Mpuuga, a former Leader of the Opposition (LoP), alleges that Kyagulanyi organized people for a month to disparage him in his constituency of Nyendo-Mukungwe municipality.
He made the remarks while speaking to NBS Television on Wednesday.
“The Hon. Bobi Wine all due respect to him, mobilised people for a month to go to my constituency to speak ill about me.” Mpuuga said.
He questioned why Kyagulanyi did not use the same effort to hold a rally against the Electoral Commission.
Mpuuga, who claims to have restrained himself from discussing certain matters and individuals, further accused his former party, NUP, of individually contacting MPs to portray him as a bad person.
“I have constrained myself a lot. If I spoke about certain things and individuals, you would be shocked. You would not know for example, how NUP would call MPs, one by one to educate them on how Mpuuga is a bad man.” Mpuuga said.
Mpuuga’s relationship with NUP soured last year after the party accused him of corruption for receiving a controversial Shs500 million as a “service award.”
This issue stemmed from a meeting held by the Parliamentary Commission on May 6, 2022, where Mpuuga and three other parliamentary commissioners reportedly divided a total of Shs1.7 billion among themselves as a service award, despite having served for less than a year.
Mpuuga allegedly received Shs500 million, while the other three commissioners each received Shs400 million.
This service award, which dominated headlines for months, led NUP leader Kyagulanyi to demand that Mpuuga apologize and resign from his position as Leader of the Opposition.
Since then, Mpuuga and Kyagulanyi have been at odds, with Mpuuga establishing his own civic organization, the DA, which many believe is aimed at countering NUP

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.
