He has been putting up at Uganda house building in Kampala. Prompting many people to wonder how the Lira Municipality MP Jimmy Akena could fail to build or buy his own home.

The members of Uganda Peoples Congress would even throw pieces of paper in his room advising the MP to save part of the millions MPs receive in Parliament and buy own home.

The Director of Milton Obote Foundation, CD Mindra we hear even threatened to evict Akena over failure to buy his own home. The good news is that the MP has paid his last installment on one of the houses in Kakungulu Estates near Lutembe Beach, in Entebbe sub district.

The members of Uganda Peoples Congress who preferred anonymity told our informer that Akena has now become a respectable man.

We have heard from very many supporters of A4C in different parts of the country requesting the A4C leaders including Col. Kiiza Besigye (FDC), Masaka Municipality MP Mathias Mpuuga and MP Betty Nambooze (DP) among others to register A4C as a political party in Uganda.

This is because A4C has managed to bring together members of different political shades like FDC, Justice Forum, DP, Conservative Party and SDP among others.

Ugandans who believe in activities of A4C argue that it is only A4C which can unite all political forces in Uganda a thing which the now defunct Inter-party Cooperation (IPC) failed to do. So when in 2016 you see A4C as one of the registered political parties/organisations in Uganda don’t raise your eye brows and developed high blood pressure!!!

Others would think that perhaps Nambooze could contest as Mukono district woman MP or LC5 chairperson. But this is not true. We have been told that the flamboyant Mukono Municipality MP is preparing to replace her long time pal, Erias Lukwago as Kampala Lord Mayor.

It is said that Nambooze has started laying down all the necessary steps needed for one to become Lord Mayor. However it is not yet known whether Lukwago will seek re-election.

We have been reliably informed that currently when Nambooze brings an argument Lukwago openly fights it. The bad meat between Nambooze and Lukwago started during the appointment of the Deputy Mayor.

Sources say that Nambooze had requested Lukwago to choice a catholic and an opposition councilor to be the deputy mayor since Lukwago was a Muslim.

The development came after the Democratic Party requested Lukwago to appoint Sulaiman Kidandala as the deputy mayor ofKampala. Nambooze argued that her resistance was not to rebel against the decision of the Democratic Party but she only wanted Lukwago to balance religions. Lukwago accepted and brought two names before the councilors to approve one of them to be the deputy mayor. That was the name of Luyiga and that of Kidandala.

When the councilors pressed him to give them one name for them to approve, Lukwago dropped that of Luyiga and gave them Kidandala. The furious Nambooze went out of the hall, jumped into her car and drove off. And this could explain why Nambooze announced to campaign for an NRM candidate in Luweero woman MP race while Lukwago declared to support the DP candidate in the race.
