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.

This is surely some good news for supporters of MP Brenda Nabukenya. The rumour we have got now is that she could be two months pregnant.

Nabukenya won the recent Luweero district woman MP by election polls. Her close pals in DP rumored to us that she could be pregnant and the man responsible if it is true she is pregnant is not yet known to the press.

We are not confirming that the legislator is pregnant. But it is only rumoured that she could be pregnant. DP insiders tell us that if it is true the legislator is pregnant, the man responsible could be one of the vibrant and loaded men in the Democratic Party.

Some of the vibrant and loaded men in the democratic Party include Deputy Lord Mayor, Sulaiman Kidandala, DP Legal advisor and Mukasa Mbidde. Our investigation team is going on to investigate whether really the MP is pregnant. Remember Brenda is not yet blessed with a baby.

Kidandala says that Ms Musisi is simply trying to please her master president Museveni who is also the appointment authority of her office.

Speaking to this journalists at City Hall inKampala, Kidandala said that Ms Musisi is also dancing to the tune of NRM councilors in the authority.

The Deputy Lord mayor also says that Ms Musisi is fighting him because she is a born again Christian and he is a Muslim. Kidandala said that his religion was dictated upon him at birth. He was born a Muslim.

Kidandala however suggests that what he has fought with Musisi is enough and it is high time the two explore reconciliatory approaches.  Story to be continued!

The figures that came from the central government as conditional grants were instead broken down by the Executive Director unilaterally hence set the wrong priorities. As a result of the public outcry more so the bad state of the roads in the city, the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago decided to convene a special KCCA meeting-purely to revisit and realign those priority areas in order to address the current situation in the city.

According to the KCCA act, the budget has to be presented to the authority for final approval which the Executive Director Jenifer Musisi Semakula did not do. So Tuesday’s KCCA meeting that flopped had been called to address the above issue. Musisi realizing that her office was going to be questioned over the expenditures currently goingon that were not approved by the authority, she decided to frustrate the meeting by influencing councilors not to attend citing unfounded grounds that the meeting had not been legally convened.

The notice was issued to all councilors on 11^th Jan calling for a special authority meeting on 17^th and that was an adequate notice for a special meeting. Ms Musisi wants to continue spending money without accountability queries, this is the reason she is using the councilors to boycott meetings called by Lukwago. To be continued!

Although he is the deputy organising secretary of the Democratic Party, Sulaiman Kidandala has accepted to work with NRM councilors who are the majority in KCCA.

Out of the 32 district councilors in KCCA, 8 are on Democratic Party ticket, two are on FDC ticket, two on independent and the rest are NRM.

Kidandala who represents Kawempe North at KCCA says that there is no way he could decline to work with NRM councilors who make up the majority in the council.

He was nominated deputy lord mayor of KCCA in December last year by the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago amidst resistance from NRM councilors. Kidandala says that he is willing to work with all the councilors and the government so he asked them to stop fighting him and they concentrate on developing Kampala Capital City Authority.

Lukwago says if anybody is complaining of any vacant place at the city hall, they should consult President Museveni for the over 13 vacant offices on technical side including the Deputy Executive Director.

This follows last week’s KCCA Executive Director Jennifer Musisi Ssemakula’s statement resolving not to recognize and facilitate Kidandala as the deputy lord mayor until a clear procedure of appointment is respected and approved by the Authority as the law requires.

However, Lukwago has warned those attempting to vote him out of office for another Lord Mayor to avoid doing so since its people who voted him into office and not a single person.

Makerere University councilor to KCCA, Bernard Luyiga who had been rumoured to have crossed to NRM after the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago declined to appoint him deputy mayor recently  has described the allegations against him as baseless.

Lukwago recently named Sulaiman Kidandala as the deputy mayor of Kampala declining to name Luyiga who had made an alliance with NRM councilors to back him for the same post.

Luyiga has however told our informers today in Kampala that that his ‘marriage’ with NRM councilors did not mean that he had defected to the ruling party in Uganda.

“I note with concern baseless allegations that I crossed to NRM because of Lukwago’s failure to appoint me as Deputy Lord Mayor. I wish to state categorically very cleanly that such information is coming from people who for some reasons (best known to them selves want to see me down politically), he explains.
