Former Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda has revealed that he is currently staying in a neighbouring East African country, saying he is studying what he called Uganda’s “new order” amid rising political tensions.Ssemujju made the revelation while reacting to the re-arrest of People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) President Muwanga Kivumbi, who was reportedly detained shortly after being granted bail.
In a social media post, Ssemujju claimed that Uganda’s political environment had changed significantly, alleging that criticism of powerful figures was increasingly being treated as an offence.“I am also in a neighbouring country trying to learn them. I will through our lawyer Medard Sseggona send you a list of what I have recorded so far,” he wrote.
The former legislator did not reveal the country where he is staying or when he intends to return to Uganda.His decision to remain outside the country comes shortly after Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba reportedly mentioned him and Nakawa West MP Joel Ssenyonyi among opposition figures who could face arrest.
Ssemujju, however, has not directly linked his stay abroad to Muhoozi’s remarks, saying he is only observing Uganda’s changing political situation.The outspoken opposition politician has for years criticised the government over issues of governance, human rights and political freedoms, making his latest comments a subject of debate among political observers.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
