After the deflections of Twaha Kagabo, Jimmy Lwanga and Kazibwe Bashir Mbaziira it is time to reflect and discuss what this means for them. In totality they are leaving the National Unity Platform (NUP) and the People Power Movement, which is significant in itself. The ideals, the goals and political framework of the party is now meaningless to them.
These have now joined the political movement of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga and his MK Movement, which is the offspring or the second generation of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). The former Red MPs are practically becoming “modern” yellow.
The MPs are now leaving the ideals of ending the dictatorship. They are now supporting the son of the dictator and his plan to takeover after his father. These MPs are now by default supporting a second generation dictator and wants to prolong the tyranny. That’s what they are initially doing, which is in contrast to the ideals of the NUP. Therefore, these MPs who stood on the barricades and who participated in the General Elections of 2021 has to answer for this. Because, this is just showing how different political dogmas that is at play.
The former NUP MPs are now accepting that an Army Commander is vying for politics. They are sending signals that the UPDF Act isn’t viable or of use. Since Muhoozi Kainerubaga can just do what he does and they will do the dance. These MPs are now accepting the junta and the military interference in politics. Since they announcing their part of the MK Movement.
These former NUP MPs are by definition selling out their comrades and the ones who are suffering plights over their political affiliation. Their new leader and master have used terror, violence and oppressive means against his critics. Dissidents and activists who has been loud has been captured in the net of Muhoozi and he has touched them with the use of his agents. That has been proven and stories has been told of what the Special Forces Command (SFC) has done to civilians and these stories will never die. The General has never answered for it and that’s because his the son and the high ranking official, which you should never ever question.
If you don’t find this inspiring or giving, well… it isn’t and it isn’t intended to be either. The facts of the matter is… that Muhoozi just feels vindicated and that’s his hurting the NUP. While he has only taken the idle and the lesser performing MPs. The MPs who haven’t done anything substantial or made a name for themselves. As legislators these three mentioned are hopeless and looks like fish out of water. That’s why it is easier to flee a sinking ship and start a fresh.
These MPs won’t be remembered kindly. Neither do they have any sort of significance. Certainly, in their own constituencies they are not well renowned or admired. Heck, some has gotten questions from their own constituencies during their tenure, which didn’t start that long ago. It isn’t like these gentlemen are on their third or fourth term. No, these are new in the 11th Parliament and was sworn-in in 2021.
Therefore, this looks like a “victory” for the MK Movement, but in reality it is a fake one. This won’t give the Movement any push. These will be nice photo opportunities, but there is where it is ending. Peace.
