A tense moment unfolded during a government meeting in Masaka City after Senior Minister for Local Government Hon. Balaam Barugahara openly confronted State Minister Hon. Justine Nameere Nsubuga over repeated interruptions while he was addressing the gathering.
The incident, captured on video and widely shared online, shows Balaam stopping his speech to firmly tell Nameere to allow him to continue.
“Let me talk. I don’t like this. Please, for once, respect this meeting,” Balaam said, drawing the attention of officials, local leaders, journalists and members of the public who were present.
Balaam stressed that the meeting had a clear programme and urged everyone to follow the agreed order, saying each participant would have an opportunity to speak at the appropriate time.
The meeting, which focused on improving local government service delivery, also discussed accountability, implementation of government programmes and concerns surrounding coffee seedlings supplied to farmers in the region.
Although the brief exchange sparked surprise among attendees and has generated widespread debate on social media, the meeting continued as planned, with leaders proceeding to discuss key issues affecting Masaka and surrounding districts(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599).
