This follows a group of councilors from Mpungu  Sub County appearing before the committee and accused area politicians Garuga Musinguzi and mp  for Kinkizi East  Dr. Chris Baryomunsi of sabotaging their effort to belong to kihihi ditrict which is supported by most of the leaders in Kanungu district.

kintu noted that political and religious differences are used by people to block the creation of kihihi district .

The councilors from Mpungu Sub County led by their speaker sam Twehangane told the committee that their voters need to be part of kihihi district and leave Kanungu because they do not access services like health service delivery yet the area has a population of 10000 people.

Mps had noted that the same councilors had earlier opposed the creation of kihihi district which is supported  the woman mp for Kanungu district Elizabeth karungi and the prime minister John Patrick Mbabazi but later they changed their mind and are now supporting the creation of this district.

The councilors   accused their fellow councilor Frank Byaruhanga who is opposed to the creation of kihihi district and accused him of being used by mp Dr. Chris Baryomunsi to block the district creation.

The councilors accuse mp Chris Baryomunsi of trying to block the people   of Mpungu Sub County to belong to the new district of kihihi when he is an outsider of the area.

Reliable sources in Kanungu say that political heavy weights are fighting each other in favour and against the creation of a new district basing on political, religious differences and economic benefits.

Kanungu district which is going to be dived for another district was curved from Rukungiri district.

We have been reliably informed that Hajji Basajjabalaba has bought five timber houses in Ndeeba and officially joined the business.

The business tycoon has now recruited his family members and cousins to run his timber business on his behalf. In fact Basajjabalaba has a lot of money. He has even bought off the land on which the five timber stores are seated.

If history remains constant, you will soon hear that conflicts have erupted at timber stores in Ndeeba. You see wherever Basajjabalaba goes, conflicts follow him. When he was managing Nakasero and Owino markets, his administration was characterised by wrangles.
