By Jacob SsemuwuluAt the look of the events, lines have already been drawn from the village level to National.
The fight is likely to be uglier than thought. It’s a fight for supremacy ! who owns busoga? It’s no longer a secret , a ring of political manoeuvres is at play to undermine the iconic figure of Busoga politics.
The assemblege of Alitwala Rebecca Kadaga aka Maama Kamuli ditractors is composed of majority of well positioned incumbents , oiled financially and willing workaholics.
The strategy is to isolate , obliterate, and undermine the perceived supremacy of Mama Kamuli in Busoga.
Those who attended the 17th August 2024 festival at Kagulu Rock organised primarily by the ministry of tourism together with the Busoga Kingdom, saw the infiltration of the function by the yellow brigade belonging to team Bukedea that turned a cultural festival into political in outlook.
It was a slap in the face of Mama Kamuli in the presence of the Kyabazinga. The recent attempt to ommit Maama Kamuli’s Name from the agenda for the 1st December 2024 World Aids Day at Bukungu isn’t an isolated incident .
You don’t want to wear the shoe’s of Geoffrey Dhamuzungu, the former MP of Budiope East, who is a direct competitor to team Bukedea.
The intimidation and fear faced by opponents of team Bukedea is overwhelming.
No wonder some political actors ran to the electoral commission to report seeming manoeuvres of preplanned cheating of the electoral processes.
It’s now impossible to freely exercise full political freedoms in Buyende if you’re perceived to be a Kadaga leaning actor.
Recently at Bugaya Catholic church at a fundraiser our own Maurice Kibalya who switched camps from Mama Kamuli to Bukedea was present and pledged full support for team Bukedea Busoga chapter.
The principal announcement of her intention to stand against Mama Kamuli as the National Resistance Movement National Vice Chairperson – Female is the final signal of intent to have Maama Kadaga retired against the will of the people.
It is unlikely to have Maama Kamuli as a sole candidate for a distractor is likely to be sponsored.
JACOB SSEMUWULU IS A FREELANCER WRITTER.
