Now that Mathias Mpuuga MP has released his statement. It is clear that he will defy the recommendation and the request of the National Unity Platform (NUP) to step down as Parliamentary Commissioner after the revealed leaks of eating.
That eating his defending as “votes” and as “duties” or “voter funds” which is bound to the office that his residing in. Therefore, it isn’t unjust of him to get the additional funding or the “service awards” that been publicized.
Mpuuga MP wants the cake and eat it. He wants all the spoils and no scrutiny. Neither does he wants to follow Party Procedure or Protocol. That shows that his not adhering to the principles or the ideals of the NUP Party. As his message is that he intends to eat alone and gleefully, as it is part of programme of the Parliament, which is where he serves.
Mpuuga MP don’t mind that it has a bad aftertaste or is bitter. No, he intends to stay and deflect from the message of the NUP Party yesterday. Even making a mockery of it, as the document that was published wasn’t signed by anyone. Like that changes the message or the tone of the party. A party where he is the Deputy President of the Buganda Region and was the Leader of Opposition under.
Now he is willing to double-cross NUP for own personal gains. That’s the message I am getting. This from a man who has defiantly been in the trenches and fought as an activist in the past. The man that did that for A4C isn’t the same man today. Mpuuga has changed and not for the better. He intends to stay and reluctant to budge.
Mpuuga still haven’t answered directly about the “service award” or the ordeal itself. Seemingly deflecting the matter and calling it a “family affair” what is happening to him. Like we are supposed to think this is internal drama in the party and his the victim.
His a man who accepted the fate and the fat envelopes. A person who gladly enjoyed the perks and the institutionalized rot of the Parliament. Now that is being exposed and his one out of plenty who does it. Still, that doesn’t make it better… especially when he in his role should be a contrast to the Mabaati thieves and others who skim of the top. That’s what he did too and it’s wrong.
Mpuuga MP cannot hide behind beautiful and articulated English. No, his just a man who has been caught red-handed and doesn’t want to be held to account. He is fine doing the bidding and acting holier than though in regards to others. However, for himself… not so much and not even adhering to the plea of his party. That’s saying something.
This isn’t a good look. It isn’t just bad publicity. No this is self-destruction of character and all integrity.
Mathias Mpuuga seemed like a fella you could respect, but with time that all withered. He isn’t what it seems and he got corrupted. As a person, his not accepting it, but we all see it now.
There is nowhere for him to go now. He should have resigned and carried his load. However, he hope people forgets and that the Party won’t go after him. Peace.
