“I also want to tell the country that my arrest was precipitated, facilitated by Kabaziguruka Michael — the person I’m contesting against. He works for security, he is a security operative and he is aware of whatever is happening to me. Michael Kabaziguruka” – NUP deputy spokesperson Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro (10.09.2025)
The Deputy Spokesperson of the National Unity Platform (NUP) Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro was abducted and detained by the authorities yesterday. Today the authorities produced him to court and changed the man. These sorts of actions are happening rapidly and with swift force, as the NUP is targeted of the opposition and as the biggest opposition party. Even as the ills of abductions, kidnappings and misuse of force on civilians like this. I still have to call him out on his nonsense.
Michael Kabaziguruka has nothing to do with the incarceration or charges pinned on Mufumbiro. That’s nonsense, as Kabaziguruka has been though the trials and tribulations himself. His a man who nearly lost his life for the cause and he couldn’t really serve as a Member of Parliament for months. Because of how the state targeted him and his candidacy. When you know that history and know what he went through. A man like that would never use any sort of time or will to haunt others. Seriously, I’m sure Michael wouldn’t sleep at night if he did that to anyone else. Since he knows it by heart and his soul wouldn’t rest.
That’s why the NUP Deputy Spokesman should focus on the state and the ones whose really harming him. Not imaginary tales and ghosts of Christmas Past. That’s really showing the foolishness and selling narratives that isn’t true. A candidate for the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) having the power or finesse to get him abducted and charged in court is bogus. When the PFF cannot even save their first member and leader Dr. Kizza Besigye. So, please Mr. Mufumbiro where are you taking these conspiracy theories from?
Thin air most likely and using it for personal gains. This is a man who instead of targeting and going after the culprits are creating enemies. Instead of looking into or having the NUP investigate the matters. His instead going after a fellow opposition and a fellow man of the struggle. That should be the lesson here. That’s what Museveni wants and he wants wangles between the opposition and the forces against him. This is playing into his games and what he wants to achieve. Because, then the NUP and PFF are to busy bickering, instead of working against him and his National Resistance Movement (NRM).
I doubt Mr. Mufumbiro is clever enough to see that one coming. If he was clever or smart, he would allege these things or say it even. If he wants sympathy for his case, well, he isn’t getting it by pinning another innocent civilian. I am concerned about him being a prisoner of conscience, but I don’t like what he said about Kabaziguruka.
Let’s be honest here… who wins on this? Neither of the ones are winning. Everyone is losing, except for the third party looking onto it. The NUP is looking dumb and the PFF is made mockery of. Therefore, the NRM is getting ahead and the NUP Deputy Spokesperson talked hogwash for everyone to see.
Mufumbiro could have spoken sense and been driven by a just cause. However, he chose another path, which is only self-destructive. This isn’t building a case, but instead just causing more harm. A man of his stature should understand that, but I am sure he doesn’t grasp the implications himself. Kabaziguruka deserves better and so does Mufumbiro too. Peace.
