Ssemwogerere Mulwanyamuli

The National Social Security Fund has spoken out on the arrest of the former Katikiro of Buganda Mulwanyamuli Ssemwogerere and has denied allegations that the intended arrest of the former Buganda Katikiro is politically instigated and a form of witch hunting Ssemwogerere.

Ssemwogerere surprised many Ugandans last month when he publically declared that he has joined the Inter Party Co-operation the biggest Opposition Political Party grouping at the moment in Uganda.

The police on Wednesday searched Semwogerere’s hotel and home in bid to have him arrested for allegedly failing to register employees of his hotel with NSSF as stipulated in the law but has since then accused government of trying to witch hunt him for joining the Inter Party Cooperation.

The Deputy Chief Marketing and Communications Officer of NSSF, Olive Birungi Lumonya says that it is not true that Ssemwogerere was arrested for political reasons because at the moment, NSSF is handling about 148 similar case in various parts of the country.

According to the NSSF ACT, for a hotel to get registered in NSSF it must have a minimum number of five workers.
