NRM District Youth Leaders Accuse Tanga Collins of Diverting Motorcycles.

The NRM National Youth league Chairperson, Tanga Collins, is on spot after 12 district youth chairpersons in Eastern Uganda reportedly missed out on Bajaj motorcycles and Shs8M meant for fuel donated by President Yoweri Museveni.

The support was intended to boost grassroots mobilization and campaign outreach ahead of the upcoming general elections.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday at Courts View Hotel in Mbale City, the affected youth leaders accused Collins of diverting the motorcycles and fuel money to his campaign agents in 12 districts that allegedly did not support him during internal party elections, instead of handing them to the rightful district youth league chairpersons.

Ni**od Kakayi, the NRM Youth League Chairperson for Namisindwa District and Bugisu NRM caucus, said President Museveni donated motorcycles to all 42 district NRM youth leagues. However, Collins reportedly handed over motorcycles to only 30 chairpersons, leaving out 12 whom he allegedly accused of not supporting him.

He told Bugisu Intellectual that they have formally written to the NRM Secretary General, the National Vice Chairperson for the Eastern Region, and President Museveni, informing them of what they termed as injustice against Eastern Uganda.

Ni**od further claimed that during a meeting with the President at Mayuge State Lodge, youth leaders from the Eastern Region were denied an opportunity to present their concerns, leaving it to Collins but he only brought a basket of Thanksgivings while leaders from other regions presented their issues which were addressed by the President.

Ome Samuel Omaria, the NRM Eastern Region Youth League Vice Chairperson, said they remain loyal to the party and committed to mobilizing votes for President Museveni, but appealed for urgent intervention to ensure fairness, democracy, and unity within the party.

Ibrahim Ngobi, the NRM Youth League Chairperson for Jinja City, said that although motorcycles were distributed to most chairpersons in the Busoga region, he and Alex Kaima of Kamuli District were left out and replaced by Collins’ campaign agents.

Pius Martin Mode, the NRM Youth Chairperson for Mbale City, condemned Collins’ actions and called on President Museveni, NRM 1st vice National Chairman Moses Kigongo, and Speaker of Parliament Anita Among to intervene.

In an interview with Bugisu intellectual, Sgt. Siraji Masagazi, the Chairman NRM Veterans League for Mbale City, warned that the dispute could negatively affect youth morale and voter mobilization.

He appealed to party authorities to resolve the matter urgently and ensure all affected youth leaders receive their share before the general elections to maintain unity and support for the President.

Masaba Pledges Namatala River Desilting and Dredging, Seeks Re-election Support.

The Member of Parliament for Mbale Industrial City Division, Karim Masaba, has pledged to push government through Parliament to desilt and dredge the Namatala River to restore the channel capacity and address persistent flooding that has claimed lives and destroyed property in Doko Ward and Namatala.

He said the intervention would be a priority if he is re-elected, alongside improved service delivery across the constituency.

Masaba made the remarks on Saturday evening while addressing a large rally at Doko Railway Grounds, where supporters gathered as he continues his mobilization campaign ahead of the forthcoming elections.

He thanked the people of Doko for the support they accorded him in the previous election and for standing with him throughout his term of office.

Masaba said he appreciates being invited to community functions and programmes in the area, and appealed to residents to renew their support on January 15, 2026, noting that his campaign symbol is a radio.

The legislator said he is among the few Members of Parliament who have consistently raised issues affecting workers in Mbale Industrial Park on the floor of Parliament.

He cited concerns such as low pay, long working hours, job insecurity and unfair dismissals, which he said have been addressed following his interventions.

Masaba also highlighted his contributions to the health and education sectors, pointing to support rendered to facilities including Mbale Regional Referral Hospital and Namatala Health Centre III, as well as assistance to schools and supporting the young people in the constituency.
