The ones working for censoring or impeaching the Speaker of the House, Anita Among… you are running a fools errand at the moment. There is justification for it and the misuse of office is obvious. However, in the Republic and with the ruling regime… those things doesn’t matter and we all know that.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) won’t strike hard on corrupt officials and neither will the State House. It will give a few fire and fury speeches, but actions is another matter. We all see it from a mile away. There is no birds or verbatim messages being sent from Entebbe to Nile Avenue. No, nothing and we can just live another day.
The Speaker is to date untouchable. She is supreme and can run the shop as she pleases. She can be vocal and act as an overlord, as long as she serves the purpose of the Head of State. His Excellency won’t strike at her, as long as she serves his eery whim. That’s what she does and skims a little of the top doing so. Keeping the MPs in order and keeping them tight-knit under her reign. This is her prerogative and she’s thriving on the power-trip.
Some MPs might be frustrated and feel humbled by her. Among is maybe not the average cup of tea. As he expect blind loyalty and follow her orders to a T. There is no second chance or room for mistakes. You abide by her word and dance when she tells you too.
If you do that… then she will honour you and give you gifts. She will usher in a new era and give you the time of day. The perks, the allowances and all your needs will be met. As long as you keep your eyes shut at her practices and misuse of office. No one is to speak of the theft, the thieving and the enrichment of her household. No, she just built a mansion and praised herself as a new Queen in town.
That’s why we just have to await another turn. The 11th Parliament won’t sanction her or have the power to do so. No, she will not allow anyone to censor her or even go after her. If they try… the MPs who writes the motion or even files the paperwork will be endangered. If you thought Zaake MP could be hurt. The ones who goes after her livelihood will be taken out and be vilified easily.
Speaker Among can only be taken out if she tries to jump the line like Amama Mbabazi. If Among believes she’s the next in line and aims at the throne. We have to see the Speaker vocally and deliberately acts to get ahead of time. That she wants to become the Head of State and become a Presidential Candidate. If she does that… she will be dethroned and clipped off her wings.
Among would lose everything, temporarily. Until, she returns to the fold and begs for mercy to His Excellency. That’s the game and we have seen that gambit before.
The Speaker no matter how powerful she is right now. She is still in the mercy of the President. As long as the President see value in her actions. She will be allowed to entertain and continue her practices, but the moment she defies or act in spite of that. That’s when the table turn and her demise will come. Peace.



“On 6th May, 2022 there was a meeting of the Parliamentary Commission attended by Ms. Anitah Among, Hon. Mpuuga and the three NRM Commissioners of Parliament. This was two months after Hon. Zaake was illegally removed from that position. In that meeting, these leaders awarded themselves a collective amount of 1.7 billion shillings. Hon. Mpuuga was allocated 500 million shillings, while the three others were each awarded 400 million shillings. It was not until the minutes of the Parliamentary Commission were ‘leaked’ to the public almost two years later, that we all got to know about this” (Bobi Wine, 02.03.2024)
Today is a special day, as the revelations are taking form and there are coherent discussion about the 500 million shillings called “service award” which was given to former Leader of the Opposition, Mathias Mpuuga.
Mpuuga himself has defended himself as a politician and an individual. Though as a tactician and politician, he rather discussed technicalities and not the modalities of his actions. The legality are maybe there, but the justification for the “service award” is another thing. The MP and the LoP should have known better. That’s why the Party he represents and the ones who gave him a ticket in 2021 are asking for him to resign as Commissioner of Parliament. Alas, that is something he won’t do and trying to twist himself out of.
That’s why the Party President Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine have given his reasons for why Mpuuga should resign. I will only take small fragments of the text. Regardless of that. I can say that the merits of Mpuuga is dwindling and he cannot save face. Especially, being a vocal opposition and talking about corruption like he did for years, and now in recent time been eating himself. That just shows the hypocrisy and what he does behind closed doors. Which is in contrast to the message he been spreading since the A4C days.
I like to first take note of this:
“1. As all former Leaders of the Opposition have confirmed, none of them ever received a ‘Service Award’. What was special about the service of Hon. Mpuuga to warrant a Service Award that was never given to his predecessors? Secondly, even if Hon. Mpuuga and the three NRM Parliamentary Commissioners had done anything exceptional, would it be up to them to sit and award themselves for a job well done? I mean, it defeats basic logic for anyone to say they are awarding themselves- moreover with hundreds of millions of tax payers’ money. Does that mean that every public servant should now sit in his office and allocate some money to themselves for feeling good about themselves and the work they do?” (Bobi Wine, 03.02.2024)
Let us all bow down for the greatness of Mpuuga. The one and only, the one of a kind, the one that created his own Handshake and abided by it. A man who fought in the trenches against corruption and became alike the people he fought for years. That’s who he became and that’s why he was the worthy one of a “service award”.
We continue…
Second:
“6. The LOP like all MPs earns a salary and allowances. However, on top of that, the LOP also earns extra allowances and gets facilitated by Parliament to enable him or her fulfill the duties of that office. What therefore justifies an extra Service Award for an office which is duly facilitated with a budget for its operations, over and above what ordinary MPs earn?” (Bobi Wine, 03.02.2024).
You know you are privileged and has vast funds when it is described like this. The LoP has advantages that other citizens can only dream off. Still, that wasn’t enough for Mpuuga who asked for and was able to get more. He used his office to enlarge his coffers and pockets. That’s why Bobi Wine calls him out and says his wrong, which he should. Bobi Wine is being responsible as a leader and as guardian of the principles, which the NUP party is founded upon. Therefore, Mpuuga has betrayed those and should act accordingly.
Third:
“9. We believed that as a Party that nominated Hon. Mpuuga to the position of Leader of the Opposition, we should have been consulted on a matter of this magnitude. Indeed, I regularly speak with Hon. Mpuuga on most major issues. But I also learnt about this matter on social media and initially dismissed it as fake propaganda. I couldn’t believe that my Deputy President would get involved in a matter of this gravity and not say anything about it- not least, to me. When asked why he didn’t discuss this with the Party (or at least the President), he said it was a matter of personal finance! Really?” (Bobi Wine, 02.03.2024).
This reveals a side of Mpuuga that we have no access too. That he could say such a thing about government funds becoming accessible to Mpuuga. It was a way of him of vindicating himself and take away the “problematic” nature of the transaction. Mpuuga knows deep down it is wrong and that’s why it became a “personal finance”. When does a “service award” given without merits or proper justification become personal? It is public funds given to a representative and a part of national legislature. That isn’t a private matter, but a public one from the onset. Which shows how conning Mpuuga have become and what lengths his willing to go for his own interests.
Last point from Bobi Wine:
“For these reasons, we believe that this was an extreme act of corruption which Hon. Mpuuga admitted initially and apologized for! It is on record. It was both illegal and immoral, no matter how many heavy words are used to justify it.The moral thing for him to do would be to apologize to the nation and step down from the Parliamentary Commission. That remains his choice” (Bobi Wine, 02.03.2024).
We know now after the interview earlier in the day that Mpuuga will not step down, apologize or follow the recommended way forward. Mpuuga will defiantly stand in the way of the Party and act like his above it. He will only act or says he would if the representatives from the Kingdom of Baganda says so. Meaning the Katikkiro Charles Mayiga or the Kabaka says he should resign. Therefore, absolving himself from the party and only being a citizens under the banner of the King.
It is really telling that his not willing to adhere or follow instructions from the National Unity Platform. Just showing that he used it as a tool to elected and that he doesn’t value the party itself. It was just a necessary device to get him into Parliament in 2021. That’s all that it was worth for Mpuuga. Because, now that times are hard and his shady actions are revealed.
He goes under the skirt of Mengo, thinking it is the saving grace. Alas, his reputation and legacy is soiled. It is destroyed and the Party President further proves it. There is no justification for the “service award” and he should do the right thing. However, it is now proven that Mpuuga cannot do that and is a self-serving individual who only cares about his “personal finances”. Peace.




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.



The former Leader of Opposition and now we have to await if he will leave the Office of Commissioner of Parliament. That is happening within months apart. The Masaka MP from the National Unity Platform (NUP), Mathias Mpuuga is now in trouble.
Mpuuga now have to answer for the sudden pay-off and “service awards” that he gotten as a Leader of Opposition and Commissioner is questionable. This shows that he used his office and role to gain monetary gains. That isn’t shocking, but shows that he took his hand into the cookie jar. There is no difference between him or others who eats of the state reserves.
The 500 million shillings in addition to the salary of MP and other perks he gotten. The LoP one is giving a person additional funds. There is an incentive and a reason why people wants to have titles in the Parliament. That is a way of getting pay-offs and envelopes for doing their initial job. They just shows up and getting well compensated.
Mpuuga had already all of it and still wanted more. The NUP party is within its right to asking him to resign as Commissioner. That we haven’t seen from the Government and their scandalous Ministers. They haven’t done this to the Mabaati thieves or others who has done shady deals in their ministries. No, they only get reshuffled or loose their office when they are charged or become an official felon. Until then… they can walk and only been shown for publicity and temporarily fall guys, which later return to office without a scratch.
The NUP has done something commendable. They are now putting the weight and the lifting on Mpuuga himself. A man who has lectured and talked righteous. Now he has to show that he has the heart and the conscience to act correct. That is hard… especially when everything is on the line. The man can easily bury his whole career.
He has possibly destroyed his legacy and his name by taking the 500 million shillings. As he sold his soul and traded his integrity for the “service award”. He has fought on the trenches and been a vocal activist in the Activists for Change (A4C) before joining TDA/DP to become a MP. Later he crossed from DP to the NUP and got re-elected as MP.
Now he has answer for his sins. He knows he was already eating and still he used his office to gain more. As an MP and LoP he was getting a lavish lifestyle. There are reports that he hired side-dishes and other familiar faces to work around in Parliament. If this is true… there is no difference between him and the ones he supposed to fight.
Mpuuga cannot run away from the dragon he has created. That dragon can burn anything around him. This is a beast he created and now it will destroy him. It doesn’t matter how technical or wise Mpuuga is. He let greed, nepotism and misuse of power to corrupt him. That is tragic, but a fate he decided to do. Especially, when you wanted to be a difference then the ones in power. You became just like them and took advantage of opportunities in front of you.
There is nowhere Mpuuga can hide now. The cat is out the bag. Not like his the only one in the 11th Parliament doing it, but he should have known better. Because, integrity and character can be destroyed in mill i-seconds. That what happened here and he accepted it too happen.
Mpuuga can be vocal and be defiant against the will of NUP. Then he just shows that he was corrupted and wasn’t for the cause. If he steps down. He does the right thing, but what he does from here needs to reflect the message he has sent over the years.
It is time for him to reflect and adjust. He has been corrupted and destroyed himself. No matter what happens now.
Mpuuga will not be as respected or honoured as he was before. He showed what sort of man he is and what power does to him. As a person he could have turned things down and been more righteous in his way. However, he accepted the envelopes and traded whatever office he had. Peace.
