Former Government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo has stirred national debate after questioning who is behind the reported developments involving Daily Monitor and NTV Uganda, demanding clarity on whether the actions stem from government authority or the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) linked to Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Opondo said it is important for Ugandans to know whether such decisions reflect official government positions under President Yoweri Museveni or statements driven by other political actors, warning that confusion undermines public trust.His remarks followed controversial comments by Gen. Muhoozi that triggered widespread reactions across political and media circles, with many calling for clear communication on the matter.
In a strongly worded statement, Opondo questioned the current state of political authority, suggesting that ambiguity over who speaks for government creates uncertainty among citizens.“Was it PLU or Museveni’s government that took the action… or should we be told the president is no longer in charge?” he reportedly asked, a comment that quickly went viral online.
The statement has since fueled debate on governance, media freedom, and the growing influence of political actors in shaping national discourse, with many Ugandans calling for official clarification.As discussions intensify, attention now turns to whether government or relevant authorities will respond to the concerns raised.
