NEWS from Masaka, Nyendo-Mukungwe Constituency Member of Parliament opposition NUP aspirant iron lady Alice Nannungi’s days are numbered!
All is set for her arrest following Monday September 9, 2024 riots she organised in Masaka against Police brutality on National Unity Platform leader Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi. Wasswa William from Bukakata who demonstrated alongside Nannungi and other NUP leaders has been arrested. Nannungi hunted!
Last week, Bobi Wine was rushed to Nsambya Hospital after he was allegedly hit by a teargas canister said to have been thrown by police to disperse his supporters who were accompanying him from Bulindo in Kira Municipality where he had gone to visit the residence of NUP counsel Musisi.
This triggered a protest in Masaka organised by Nannungi and other NUP leaders from Greater Masaka.
NANNUNGI’S ARREST THREATS
Her arrest is said to be influenced by Masaka City Mayor Florence Namayanja and a one Charles Kirumira.
The two are accused of entering into a deal with ruling NRM regime apologists to see this ‘stubborn’ NUP preacher Nannungi thrown into prison on trumped-up charges.
Unless party bosses intervene to save Nannungi from political vultures, her tormentors who look like wounded lions, have vowed to teach Nannungi and all footsoldiers who participated in the Monday demonstration, a lesson they will never forget. Never say we didn’t tell you!
We can authoritatively report that, the newly appointed Nyendo-Mukungwe Deputy RCC Teopista Mbabazi has been transferred under the influence of Namayanja accusing her of sleeping on duty giving Nannungi and NUP supporters a chance to organise a demonstration and condemned Uganda Police Force for what they referred to as bruitalising NUP leader Kyagulanyi and other party members. During the protest, Nannungi and other NUP leaders in greater Masaka demanded for an apology from the government or else they take the next step.

The demonstrators took Police and other security organs in Masaka by surprise and Nannungi’s move was saluted by Party leadership in Kampala.
Shockingly, Namayanja and her league of old people got angered, saying Nannungi and the young people who staged a demonstration didn’t consult them since they are the political kingmakers in Masaka.
Through her emissaries Namayanja warned Nannungi and all NUP leaders who participated in this demonstration without her permission that she was going to deal with each.
An outspoken Nannungi revealed to us that, “No sane fighters attacking an en(emy use a single front. You attack the enemy from all directions and leave no escape route for him. We don’t have any problem with some of the leaders who paid a visit to our president in Magere. But as fighters in a struggle to end dictatorship in Uganda, Greater Masaka people held a demonstration to ring a warning bell to those who brutalised our President that next time it won’t be business as usual. Those attacking Greater Masaka people who staged such a successful demonstration, let them tell us what’s wrong with attacking an enemy using different approaches, from different directions?”
Nannuungi’s supporters are worried, she might be arrested anytime!
WHY NUP PARTY MUST RESCUE NANNUNGI, LOYAL PARTY LEADERS AND FOOTSOLDIERS IN MASAKA
After realising that Nannungi wasn’t bothered by threats from Namayanja and Kirumira, the two are accused of influencing the removal of the newly appointed Nyendo-Mukungwe which was effected today.
In a hot meeting held yesterday, Mbabazi was grilled for sleeping on duty giving way to Nannungi and NUP leadership from greater Masaka to stage a demonstration in Masaka.
Namayanja’s group expected Deputy RCC Mbabazi to tame Nannungi and other party leaders and foil their demonstration plans which she failed to detect.
NAMAYANJA’S CHOICE OF DEPUTY RCC NAAVA REPLACES MBABAZI
Masitullaah Naava who was transferred to Isingiro in the recent RCC and RDC reshuffle, has been returned back to Nyendo-Mukungwe allegedly on the request of Namayanja and her group.
It is undeniable that Naava and Namayanja are very close. Her return is mainly to handle Nannungi and frustrate her plans of representing the people of Nyendo-Mukungwe in the 2026-2031 Parliament.
Namayanja has a candidate she is promoting for the same seat so Nannuungi is a threat.
Will DRCC Naava-Namayanja mission to fight Nannungi and footsoldiers in Masaka be a success? Will this useless fight cost Namayanja politically?
