A disturbing video clip is circulating on social media platforms in which renowned TV and radio host, Simon Muyanga Lutaaya furiously exchanges irritating political barbs with the former Kigulu South Legislator, Andrew Kizza Kaluya.
The duo who accused each other of betraying Ugandans with their greed for money were on Saturday February 10, 2024 hosted at the NBS FM 89.4’s political talkshow dubbled “Endabirwamu” presided over by Sir Grace Morgan Mwesigwa.
The recorded clip captured from the on-air studio indicates a serious exchange of statements between the former three-time Bulamogi county aspirant (Muyanga) and Kaluya who currently serves as the mobilizer of National Unity Platform (NUP) in Busoga during a commercial break.
Signifying that Kaluya was interfering Muyanga’s submissions on-air, he (Muyanga) grilled Kaluya for violating his party’s core values of democratic citizenry, advocating for his freedom to speak and express his objective analysis on the current affairs in Uganda.
“You have spent only two months in opposition. Please shut up, and we tell you how things move on the opposition side. Please allow me to speak on the microphone when it is my time,” fumes Muyanga in the clip recorded without their knowledge.
The controversial Kaliro man who has in the past taken Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) as the only opposition party to unseat the long-serving president Museveni, was recently unveiled as one of the publicists of the newly formed political pressure group, “Uganda Patriotic League (UPL).
UPL, now attracting several active politicians, is being undertaken and headed by the First Son and Presidential Advisor on special operations, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Admitting guilty, Muyanga informed Kaluya that he is now enjoying the money remained when Kaluya and his NRM Legislators who were allegedly bribed by the determined NRM boss, Museveni, to the amend Article 102 b of the constitution that sabotaged the age limit.
Formerly representing Kigulu South before officially joining NUP last year, in 2017, Kaluya voted “yes” in support of the removal of the age limit while Muyanga was among the Ugandan pressmen and opposition diehards who opposed the move.
“You have nothing to tell us when you already gave Museveni permission to rule us forever. Don’t blackmail us who lost jobs because of opposition,” Myunga told Kaluya, who said the little time he has spent in the opposition is enough to develop some understanding.
The vocal NUP man who supported Museveni and now opposition him could not fear to mention anyone’s name who he claimed are selling the country because of money, saying he didn’t join NUP for financial gains.
The controversial exchange of words undresses the credibility of politicians who are after financial gains from voters and the top leaders of government, especially the president.
