Now, many fear Mugumya’s case may end the same way as that of John Bosco Kibalama, a member of the National Unity Platform (NUP), who also disappeared without a trace.

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja once told Parliament that Kibalama was under government custody, but months later no agency has ever produced him in court. In a recent twist, UPDF spokesperson Brig.

Mugumya, a long-time associate of For...

The Entrepreneurs League should be a space that nurtures credibility, accountability, and innovation not a platform for politically connected figures to sanitize their reputations.

If the NRM is serious about rebuilding trust and championing genuine private-sector leadership, then it must distance itself from individuals whose business dealings have repeatedly undermined public institutions.

Authored By Abdul Nasser Ssekajugo In a country struggling to shake off the weight of corruption and public mistrust in leadership, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) entrepreneurs delegates must think carefully about the kind of leaders it elevates. Among those eyeing key roles on the party’s...
