In his quest to become the next Member of Parliament for Bukooli North in Bugiri district, Jamal Mukuve Ayagalachi, a leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) in Busoga region, has encouraged members of the business community in Kapyanga Sub County to participate in the politics of the country because it directly affects them.
“I want to remind you that politics, which you are avoiding, shapes the taxes you pay, the markets you operate in, and the opportunities you get. I want you to step into political spaces—not as observers, but as decision-makers,” Mukuve told mourners at a burial in Kagali village, Kapyanga Sub County.
At another burial ceremony in Bukonde, Namayemba Town Council, to bid farewell to Jennifer Kafuko, who succumbed to cancer, Mukuve lamented that Ugandans die due to the lack of radiation machines at the Uganda Cancer Institute; President Yoweri Museveni and his regime found it appropriate to award MPs with Shs100 million each—money that could have saved countless lives.
“This is no longer just about politics—it’s about life and death. I urge you to cast a protest vote—not out of anger alone, but out of purpose and clarity. Ask yourselves, are your leaders there for personal gain or for you?”
In Muwayo Town Council, Mukuve reminded the community that a whole parish of over 10,000 people is given Shs100 million—as a loan—while one MP receives Shs100 million as a gift, despite already earning a salary. What kind of leadership places one individual above 10,000 citizens? he wondered. This is the injustice we must end, he vowed.
He called on the people in Bukoli North to vote for leaders who stand with the common person and reject selfish leadership. “We should embrace a future built on justice, equity, and people-centred governance,” he said, urging people to vote for him as area MP and Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu as President of Uganda in 2026.
