Mawokota North politician and musician Hillary Kiyaga, popularly known as Dr Hilderman, has rejected claims by former Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde that she helped him when he was struggling financially.
Hilderman said he had already built a successful career and achieved financial stability before his relationship with Kyambadde, crediting his success to his talent, hard work and determination.
While acknowledging the support he has received from different people, he rejected what he described as an attempt to rewrite his history and portray him as someone who had nothing before Kyambadde intervened.
Kyambadde recently accused Hilderman of forgetting those who supported him during difficult times and expressed disappointment over what she described as continued attacks from someone she once helped.
Hilderman, however, maintained that he respects Kyambadde as an elder but disagrees with the claim that she made him who he is today.
The exchange has added to tensions between the two former allies, who later became political rivals in Mawokota North.
Hilderman said his journey should be judged fairly, noting that many people contributed to his success but no single individual should claim responsibility for his achievements.
