Fearless MP Tells Museveni, Son Muhoozi & Wife to Stop Disturbing Ugandans’ Peace by Blocking Kololo, Nakasero Roads

Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda has told President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni, his wife and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Kataaha Museveni and first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to give Ugandans peace by desisting from blocking roads around Nakasero and Kololo in Kampala. 

Ssemujju Nganda, who is also the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Spokesperson, made the call during parliamentary plenary on May 05. The MP asked Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja to ensure that members of the First Family get a special compound for parking their vehicles instead of blocking roads.

The legislator is particularly unhappy that Museveni, his wife and son have made it a habit to block roads around Kololo and Nakasero State Lodge. Ssemujju Nganda says that blocking of roads has disrupted and inconvenienced many people and businesses in the area.

He claimed that some of the commercial banks he uses are located in Kololo but has on several occasions failed to access them and that “sometimes I go a whole week without money.”

“We have roads in Kololo but these days there are trucks that seal them when the President is having meetings. Maybe we should procure a compound for the President because if it’s not him, it’s the wife or son,” said Ssemujju Nganda.

It is not uncommon for road users to be disrupted to allow the president’s, first lady’s or even a senior military officer or cabinet member and his or her convoy to pass, even in the middle of thick Kampala traffic jam. Sometimes, roads are blocked and users diverted to other roads to allow a ‘very important person’ use a certain road or hold an event.

Recently, first son Lt Gen Kainerugaba, who doubles as the Commander of the UPDF Land Forces and President Museveni’s senior advisor on special operations, blocked some city roads to celebrate his 48th birthday at Lugogo Cricket Oval. Museveni later held a Muhoozi birthday dinner at State House Entebbe, where President Paul Kagame of Rwanda was the chief guest.

Now, Ssemujju is calling on government to secure a special compound where these VIPs and members of the first family can park their vehicles so that Ugandans are not disrupted.

Ssemujju is known not to mince his words and has previously attacked powerful individuals in the Museveni government. When Nabbanja was appointed Prime Minister in a shocking cabinet reshuffle last year, Ssemujju made it clear that as far as he was concerned, Nabbanja was not even fit to become a CEO of a garbage collecting company.
