In politics every person is important. Makerere University councilor Bernard Luyiga is now full of smiles after the president general of the Democratic Party (DP) Norbert Mao appointed his party’s special envoy in charge of universities.

Luyiga formerly a member of DP made an alliance with NRM councilors at Kampala City Council in a bid to become the deputy Lord Mayor. His actions politically shifted him from DP to NRM, at least in the eyes of political analysts.

Luyiga even went ahead and acquired police body guards. The people who may have queries’ on this issue (of gun) should ask Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. But Luyiga’s critics have been baffled after Mao appointed him the DP envoy in charge of Universities. Luyiga we hear has already accepted the appointment. Luyiga however denies reports that he crossed to NRM. He says it is only Lukwago’s questionable leadership in Kampala what makes him (Luyiga) to support NRM plots against Lukwago.

The Members of Parliament on the committee of Presidential Affairs are probing into the bickering at Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and the bribery cited in job allocation.

The MPs have planned to investigate the bickering and corruption at KCCA within only two weeks and then give a report of their findings to the speaker of parliament.

The MPs are probing activities of the KCCA after the staff of the defunct Kampala City Council cried out to Parliament for help, accusing KCCA, of sidelining them in favour of new workers.

The committee investigating KCCA is being chaired by Bernabas Tinkasimire (NRM). Tinkansimire says his committee will give recommendations on how the city management should be streamlined after its investigations.

It seems the rivals of Mufti Shaban Mubajje will develop ulcers and high blood pressure when they read this shocking information. The spokesman of Uganda Muslim Supreme Council Nsereko Mutumba says that Mufti Mubajje will leave office in 2025.
