A lot has been talked about Pastor Peter Sematimba but no one has brought us the latest news about his latest private businesses and future in politics.  So we have decided to bring it to you.

The proprietor of Super FM and owner of a number of housing estates in Kampala say that he has quit politics. He says he wants to concentrate on his personal businesses and manage his family.  We are also told that Sematimba bought another pad from a Kampala businessman at 900 million shillings.

In a bid to prove that he is quitting politics, Sematimba has removed political talk shows from his Super FM. He now runs mainly sports, drama, music and news.

Sematimba has also fired the following journalists from his radio station: Mulindwa Muwonge, Charles Bwanika Senkuwa and Moses Kagolo.

Tumusiime, who had cast his vote yesterday morning, says he was surprised to hear the announcement from the Electoral Commission that elections in Kampala had been cancelled due to elections irregularities and ballot boxes stuffing.

Tumusiime says police should investigate the matter immediately and arrest the perpetrators and the Electoral Commission disband the candidates who the pre-ticked ballots were in favor.

Tumusiime has also threatened to withdraw from the race if the Electoral Commission does not revise the way it is conducting elections.

Tumusiime a candidate from the Forum for Integrity in Leadership wonders how the ballot boxes and ballot papers which were made from abroad could have been stolen from the Electoral Commission’s custody. He says that the Electoral Commission should be investigated.

Peter Sematimba of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party who the pre-ticked ballot papers were in favour has said that they are the opposition candidates who did it to tarnish his image and that of NRM. He has also asked police to arrest the perpetrators of the ballot boxes stuffing.

But Lukwago instead emerged from the Electoral Commission offices as a jubilant man, waving papers of what he termed as NRM candidate peter Sematimba’s “fraudulent academic papers” which he (Lukwago) claimed to have got secretly from a concerned Commissioner at the EC who wanted to expose the rot.

Lukwago took the chance to criticise the Electoral Commission which he referred to as incompetent and unable to organise free and fair elections.

He said the EC headed by Dr. Badru Kiggundu has always known about anomalies in Sematimba’s academic papers but never bothered to investigate him, yet Likwago was summoned immediately someone raised concerns over his papers.

Lukwago displayed photocopies of what he said are Sematimba’s documents indicating that Sematimba completed a theology diploma in a certificate at the International College of Excellency in America in 2005.
