Masaka City Woman Member of Parliament, Juliet Nakabuye Kakande has admitted she is the one who appeared in a viral video while massaging a male legislator in a horny mood during plenary.
However, she puts the blame to journalists whom she says they recorded and released the video with intentions of extorting money from her.
“Regarding the video that went viral through the weekend, I would say it was a deliberate move by some journalists who sought to extort money from me & fellow MPs with whom I was in Parliament.
I received calls from certain journalists asking for money to stop video circulation, revealed Nakabuye in tweet on Thursday May 25, 2023
Nakabuye says that when the video went viral, some journalist whose name she didn’t mention, contacted her asking for money to conceal the story.
“But I assured this person that even if it needed [only] Shs10,000 and even if somebody had donated it to me to stop it, I wasn’t ready to pay,” read her second tweet.
The NUP MP instead said the Media Houses should improve on payment of their staff rather than leaving them to go begging and extorting.
“I’m sorry to say this on a media station, but I urge media stations to pay their journalists to cut on excessive desperacy for money.”
Mixed reactions
Responding to her tweet, some tweeps urged the female legislator to swallow her pride and learn behaving as a honorable person in society.
Some wondered how a national leader could massage a male colleague in a manner that portrays that she was begging for romance.
“Just apologize to the Nation and your voters who didn’t send you to Parliament to do such acts of romantic massage. Parliament is the cream of this Nation, seeing an Honorable lady massaging a man in the August house, is an act below the belt for an MP and this is not about Museveni,” reads a response from one of Nakabuye’s followers, Alex Oyo Okidi.
