Opinion: Nanyonga, the ignorant MP…

The last 24 hours has been hectic for National Unity Platform (NUP), Member of Parliament, Veronica Nanyonga, the Woman MP of Bukomansimbi District. The former Democratic Party candidate for the same district and now NUP representative.

She has gotten into hot weather over the acts of signing the censure motion of the Parliament Commissioners. The MP claims she didn’t know what she signed off on and that’s a particular way to put it.

As an MP she should study, check and be able to read the documents in front of her. She should have the mental capacity to check and see if it is a genuine or righteous thing to do. It shows that she’s just following the crowd and dancing to whatever that fits the tune. Just thinking it was the attendance list and not the censure motion. Alas, she could have read the header of the page to know what it was. Certainly, one of the minutes of the shadow cabinet would have been designated to this.

That’s why the MP should know better and now only showing ignorance. Pure unadulterated ignorance of it’s purest form. If she thinks its wise to remove her signature or trying to disassociate herself with the motion. Well, she’s at a loss.

The MP should know better and the motion is created out of a need to sanction and hold people accountable at the August House. The Service Award that is haunting the Parliament Commissioners. As she signed the motion, she partake in the proceedings and the gesture of supporting the cause of action against the greedy Commissioners. However, with revoking or disassociating herself. She is being lax about the thing and it’s not a good look.

She is either ignorant about the paperwork around her or about the pending case against the Parliament Commissioners. As an MP she should represent and act on behalf of her constituents. I wonder if they would be happy that she acts in this way and isn’t concerned about the aftermath.

Nanyonga has the right to not participate in the proceedings. Nevertheless, she has taken a step and made amends. She should reconsider her stances and especially if she is concerned about corruption and misuse of office in the future. Because the MP is either behind graft or blind to it. As an MP she can either act against it or being ignorant about it. I go for the latter, because I don’t think she really wants to work against it. If she wanted to campaign or be a voice against corruption. She wouldn’t have revoked or withdrawn her signature. Therefore, this doesn’t add up and we can beg to question her actions.

It would have been better if she had remained silent or done nothing. That would have been better. We wouldn’t have discussed her or her role for that matter. Peace.

Opinion: The NRM MPs needs guidance of the President before signing off on anything…

“I earlier guided members that they should wait for the guidance of my boss, who is the Government Chief Whip (Hamson Obua), he also went ahead and guided that no member of the NRM caucus should sign on the censure forms until we get the guidance of the national Chairman, who is also President Museveni. However, there are those who have signed, still when we sit as caucus, we shall have to ask them to withdraw their signatures because as a Party, we always come up with a position and we always stand by our position” (…) “I am not saying that the President is happy with whatever is happening, but I am saying we wait for his guidance on the approach on how we should get that issue. We aren’t saying we support whatever move or what is happening, but the issue is, what does the Chairman say about it? The guidance is key. The baganda say with age comes wisdom, so we must wait for the guidance of the elder. I don’t think he is happy, but his guidance will clear all those anomalies” – Herbert Kinobere (Kibuku County) MP, Vice Spokesperson of the NRM Caucus (04.06.2024).

We have told you, but now the National Resistance Movement (NRM) is confirming what we already knew. The NRM has told this isn’t the case and that their MPs are independent. They are working on their own, but in reality we knew they were puppets who bark and make noise when their master allow it.

President Museveni and the NRM CEC directs what the NRM Caucus is doing. The NRM Caucus has to await direction or guidance to where it goes. The President has to have a word and a say before anything happens. Because, if they act without his word or wisdom, they will interfere or act in spite of his vision. They have to disciplined and be orderly following the NRM Way. That means blind and dumb until the President has enlighten them.

This shows how the machinery is working. The NRM is a clockwork for the President and his every whim. These people cannot act upon their own will or do what is right for the nation. No, they have to serve and be loyal cadres of His Excellency. This is why they cannot do what is righteous or sincere, because they got to get a thumbs up from the high above. That’s really a sad sight, but where the NRM is at the moment.

President Museveni must be happy in Kibobere and Obua who are serving him so diligently and without any hesitation be his aide. That’s who they are and this is why he trust them. They are working directly for him and not for the constituents. Neither is the other NRM MPs who are awaiting for the order and the will of their dear leader. The Supreme Leader and Patriotic Saint has to say his word and bless whatever move he deems fit. That’s what the servants and the lackeys have to await for.

It is really compelling reading this. That the NRM MPs should sign of on a petition or motion, unless the President haven’t had a say. This is telling about their “independence” and their own mandate as representatives. As they are just there to rubber-stamp and be custodians for his mighty hand.

President Museveni must be giddy that he has been able to take this far. As the President has this ultimate power and can get his way regardless of who is elected. He got them in his hand and now we have to see what he says. Peace.
