RIO GAVIN Ferdinand OBE, one of the finest defenders in world football during 12 successful years at Manchester United and now a television pundit for BT Sport has released a statement in which he defends former team mate Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Asia!
Cristiano Ronaldo on arrival in Saudi Arabia
Ferdinand believes, the media is shameful, when Rooney, Beckham, Lampard and Gerrard went to America they said it was a great way to end their careers, to make a lot of money in a league that isn’t as competitive and they deserved. “This is all I have been reading in the media. But when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to do this, it became a shame and a disaster all because he went to Saudi Arabia…” Writes Former England defender. He continues to say, “I am glad Cristiano is finally happy. For any footballer, whatever his level, happiness and being content in the environment in which we play is one of the most important things. He hasn’t been happy for a while so I am glad he is about to find that happiness again, even if it’s at an unexpected club.” Rio Ferdinand noted that, this is an adventure for Cristiano to go to Saudi Arabia, to discover a brand new league, saying it is a highly competitive league in Asia. “I have seen people comment and some experts saying it was a sad way for him to end his career. The only sadness is how it ended at Manchester United. I think in hindsight, in a few years he will look back and feel this could have been handled differently. But this next chapter, going to Saudi Arabia, what a sad way to end your career? I don’t understand how people can say this?” Asked Ferdinand. He says this is a new adventure where Ronaldo takes his family to discover a new culture too. “All the other great players who went to a less competitive league to end their careers deserved it. And no man on the planet has earned the right to do it more than Cristiano.” Said Ferdinand.
Cristiano left Machester United after getting misunderstandings with club management. He has now settled with club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and will be the higly paid footballer on planet earth.

● Kityo Luwalira’s Term As Bishop Namirembe Diocese Ends This Year on December 8, 2023 ● Saluted For Being A Preacher of The Gospel Not Just A Mere Bishop ● Rev. Samuel Muwonge’s Mission Department Appreciated For Organising A Great Crossover Night
STORY BY: MOSES MUGALULA NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
WHEREAS preparations for Dr. Wilberforce Kityo Luwalira to leave office as Bishop Namirembe Diocese this year on December 8, have kicked off and those who are interested in this prestigious holy seat started showing interest, Archbishop Dr. Samuel Steven Kaziimba Mugalu has sent a tough message to the House Bishops in charge of electing a new Bishop. Speaking during a mega Crossover night at Namirembe Cathedral organised by Rev. Samuel Muwonge the Diocesan Mission Department Secretary, Archbishop Kaziimba said the House of Bishops must be very careful while electing Bishop Luwalira’s successor. Without mincing words Kaziimba said, “We want a good successor of Bishop Kityo Luwalira who will not just become a Bishop but the preacher of the gospel. Not just a gospel or something which looks like a gospel but the real gospel of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Master of Masters, the one who was, will, the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
Amidst applause from hundreds of people of God who filled St. Pauls Cathedral Namirembe gardens to capacity, Archibishop Kaziimba Mugalu said Namirembe Diocese needs a bishop who will fit in Luwalira’s shoes and able to carry on his legacy especially in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The supreme leader of Anglican Church in Uganda first saluted Bishop Kityo Luwalira for his serving God with one heart and said, “We thank Bishop Luwalira for giving us this opportunity. You know this is his last opportunity as the Bishop to gather us all here at the end of year as we cross to a new year.We should thank God for giving us life and for Namirembe Bishop who created this atmosphere that we all gather here to welcome new year. We can’t take it for granted. Some people may not like it but it’s good to spend time before the Lord when we are jubilating at the end of the year.” Quoting a British saying that, ‘You will never know the wealth of the well until it dries up.’ Kaziimba said you may abuse the well, despise it, you may say, what kind of water is this, but when it dries up, that is when you will know how useful the well was. “The usefulness of Bishop Luwalira in the ministry of evangelism will be known when he retires,” Said Kazimba Mugalu. He noted that, Luwalira is a true witness of God who, “Knew your end before your knew your beginning. The one who understands you better, who is there for you, although no body is there, but for him is around. Although others are against you, God is with you. He goes ahead of you, he follows you, he is above you, he goes below you, to supports you, he is around you, he is our God who has been with you in 2022. He is walking with you in 2023. This is your God our Bishop and all of us witness.” Kaziimba appreciated Rev. Samuel Muwonge the Mission cordinator for the job well done saying, he is really a hard-working man.

“I have been hearing his gospel and worship. Thank you for supporting Mission department. God will not leave you unpaid. God is not forgetful, he is not unfair that he will forget what you have done. He can’t forget your giving for the mission.” Said Archbishop. Mission Department of Namirembe Diocese has put up a magnificent Mission House and Kaziimba requested for more financial support. Reading in Numbers 23:19 where God says, ‘I am not a man that I should lie, neither a son of a man that I should repent: who has said and shall not he not do it or has he spoken and shall he not make it good,’ Kaziimba assured the congregation that God can do everything. Nothing can defeat God. “One thing God can not do, he can not worship himself. We worship him. And when you worship him, you leave him with no choice other than pouring his blessings to you. God doesn’t sprinkle his blessings, he just pours his blessing. As we enter 2023, he going to pour his blessings.” Declared Archbishop Kaziimba Mugalu.
Praying for God’s protection in 2023
In his gospel which ushered Anglican Church into New Year 2023, Archbishop told Church of Uganda that amidst all challenges they experienced in 2022, there is hope in 2023. Referring to a reading in the Book of Job 14: 7 which says, ‘For there is hope of a tree if it be cut down that it will sprout again and that the tender branch thereof will not cease’, Kaziimba said we have had a number of challenges, atleast there is Hope amidst everything, he is our God. He said the book of Job in the Bible talks about God’s greatness, God’s supremacy, and also brings Setan and his works but there is one important thing why the book of Job was written, to demonstrate God’s power and the meaning of true faith. It is demonstrated when one goes through challenges. A true believer should not expect a smooth journey.
Present was Busiro East MP Medard Lubega Ssegona and wife
He said the book of Job is here to remind us that there is power in God. Job focusses on God. “But this book raises a question, why should believers suffer! We were not called to be in a smooth life. Jesus himself was crucified but John 16:33 says, ‘rejoice because I have conquered the earth.’ Amidst challenges, rejoice in the name of lord Jesus Christ.” Kaziimba Mugalu asked Anglicans.
‘THIS YEAR, THE BLIND MUST SEE’, LUWALIRA SOUNDS POLITICAL Earlier, Namirembe Bishop Wilberforce Kityo Luwalira who some people said sounded political, said in the year 2023, Jesus should open eyes of those who dont see what is happening in the country, what Ugandans are going through. A soft speaking Luwalira who is known for his humility and incorruptible heart read in the book of Luke 18:35-48 about a blind man who was seated on the roadside begging. On hearing Jesus of Nazareth passing by, he shouted at the top of his voice, asking Jesus to have mercy upon him. “People who were with Jesus shouted at this blind man to keep quiet but he kept on shouting until Jesus asked what he wanted from him. The blind man demanded to regain his sight. Jesus directed that this man see again and his eyes opened.” Preached Bishop Luwalira.
People gathered in big number at Namirembe for prayers welcoming new year 2023
He said many people in Uganda are blind and don’t see what is transpiring, prayed that may God open their eyes in 2023. He also said others have eyes but still can’t see. May God help them to see clearly. “Brethren, there is seeing but when you are not seing clearly. What do you see in our country, do you really understand the happenings? Do you see the politics in our country, the economy, healthy standards in the country, do you see and really understand them? May God open our eyes in 2023 like that blind man.” Said Bishop Luwalira who is known for his boldness against corruption in the country, abductions and political torture. “Now if some of you say that you are not blind, you see, it’s fine. Therefore see things rightly. When you look at the way things move in the country, know that the situation is alarming! Don’t pretend that you don’t see how things are going on in our country. Be realistic. May God help you see that seasons come and go, and that may we know the seasons and what to do.” Bishop Luwalira said in parables. Analysts say, about those who barked at the blind man to keep quiet, Luwalira might have been referring to those in power, silencing Ugandans whenever they demand for service delivery. He assured Ugandans how God is ready to open their eyes in 2023 and country will not remain the same. Also Luwalira thanked Mission Secretary Rev. Muwonge for the great crossover night and how it was publicised. He explained why Church of Uganda don’t blow fireworks at the ushering in of new year saying, theirs isnt a matter of an event but time to worship and praise God, time to forward their prayer requests for new year.
‘MAKE JESUS YOUR LEGAL TENDER IN 2023’, SAYS APOSTLE VICTORUCHEBULUM Preachers led by Apostle Victor Uchebulum from lagos Nigeria who preached about making the name of Jesus a legal tender in 2023. Reading Phillipians 2:5, He said, “Jesus is our purchasing power, our bargaining power, is our legal right to obtain anything from God. To do anything on earth, we need the name Jesus. It is indeed our authority of bargain.” He led the praying and deliverance session. Other preachers were: Rev. Samuel Muwonge, Caon Abraham Lubega Kisaakye and Rev. Simon Peter Ddembelyayesu the Mission Secretary of the Province.

ALL roads on Saturday December 31st will lead to Kyambogo University Cricket Oval for the mega National Passover 2022 as Ugandans usher in new year 2023 in the presence of God! Passover is a National Born Again event that ends a year and ushers in a new year. This year’s Passover runs under the theme: ‘The Gibeon Encounter – More Than You Can Ask For’ 2nd Chronicles 1: 7-13. Normally, Passover festival takes place at Mandela National Stadium Namboole but this year, it will be held at Kyambogo University where three big play grounds which accomodates about 100, 000 people have been spared for this big annual event, thanks to the organising committee. For starters, Namboole is still under renovation courtsey of ministry of Education and Sports. It can not be used by public until work is done in June 2023. The chief convener Presiding Apostle of the Born Again Faith in Uganda Dr. Joseph Serwadda who is also the lead Pastor at Victory Christian Church – Ndeeba has spoken to The News Editor Media, a leading news website and assured people of God from all walks of the country and outside Uganda that all is set for the Passover 2022, a National event!
PREPARATIONS DONE Dr. Serwadda told us how wiring of all lights and sound testing is done. “On Friday intercessors numbering to 15,000 were taken to Kyambogo for intercession to call for God’s presence of God this place.” Said Presiding Apostle Dr. Serwadda. He notified us about how the final security meeting was also held at Kyambogo today for security teams to be briefed on who will take over which part at Kyambogo and how to detect elements of crime. We are told, all places of sanitization have been set up and inspected in respect to Ministry of Health Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) in the fight against Covid 19. On Saturday very early morning, Security will return with dogs to detect bombs. Gates will officially open for public at 8am on Saturday morning. And who ever enters will be given a seat. Program will start with intercession and later, different preachers and chiors will take over.
‘THIS IS HOW GOD WANTS TO TAKE YOU THROUGH 2023’, DR. SERWADDA TALKS ABOUT PASSOVER 2022 MESSAGE Reading in the book of 2nd Chronicles 1: 7-13, Presiding Apostle Joseph Serwadda said, “God told us that the year 2023 will be having what is referred to as ‘the Gibeon Encounter between God and King Solomon.’ Dr. Serwadda said, “The meeting at Gibea can easily be explained as in that, at Gibea, where a Temple of God in Jerusalem was built on the big mountain called Jerusalem but it has a position called Gibeon. It is where God encounted with King Solomon after giving in his Sacrifice.” Bible says, that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.” Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel. Dr. Serwadda said, such encounter between God and Solomon is not seen anywhere else. “In the new Testament Jesus said, whatsoever you ask for in my name, i will give it to you. That is commitment from heaven. That is an open cheque. What we are going for in Passover 2022 is an open cheque. Come with your player requests. God will answer all your prayers and He will add you all you have not asked for like he did to King Solomon.” Said Presiding Apostle.
Dr. Serwadda speaking at the function recently. He will lead thousands of people in an encounter as world welcomes new year 2023
Dr. Serwadda told us how, “God we serve tells his people what he will do for them. He is a God of promises. His promises make him different from other gods. When he speaks, it must come to pass.” He said what God is promising in passover 2022, will be achieved. “We have spent 20 years and each passover, each year had a special message. And people have been following. But all we said, came to pass. Also this will pass in this encounter”. Said Serwadda inviting people of God not to miss this encounter with God at the Passover 2022 at Kyambogo University.

BY ASIA NAKAMYA NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
UGANDA’s opposition political party Justice Forum (JEEMA), has started serious strategies towards 2026 power hunt. At the beginning of this week, a group of youthful leaders from JEEMA visited Kenya on the invitation of yet to be identified official in the newsly sworn-in President William Samoi Ruto’s Kenya’s ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA). JEEMA’s delegation included; Mr. Ssentongo Abdulnoor Kyamundu (Party Spokesman), Naswiif Luswata (Vice president Buganda region), Habiib Asega (VP Nothern), Muhindi Kennedy (Vp western region), Namakajjo Derrick (Secretary legal affairs), (Mukasa Abdullatif (head of tertiary institutions) and Mr Omar Kalinge Nnyago (former Secretary general). According to a post in one of the party WhatsApp groups, the JEEMA delegation was received by UDA Secretary General, Veronica Maina and other directors at the ruling party secretariat. We have learnt that Our reliable sources say, JEEMA and UDA officials discussed a lot of issues among others; was training of JEEMA leaders in resource mobilization, human resource development, and elections management ahead of 2026 General elections.
JEEMA Spokesman Ssentongo Kyamundu
When contacted for comment, the party spokesperson, Mr. Ssentongo Kyamundu confirmed the meeting and told this investugative news website how JEEMA has started getting more serious with power hunt. “It’s true JEEMA officials were in Kenya to interact with UDA officials and our meeting was a success.” Said Mr. Ssentongo Kyamundu. Asked to brief us about their meeting, Ssentongo who never wanted to give us the detail, said, “Our engagement with UDA was to benchmark on how an opposition party can win power in an African suffocated political environment.” He revealed how JEEMA Party is hoping to have many more visits to other political parties in Africa before fronting a presidential candidate in the next elections. It will be remembered that JEEMA last fielded a presidential candidate in 2001 when Muhammad Mayanja vied for a second time after 1996 polls. Ssentongo Kyamundu noted that, “We can’t commit the same mistakes during elections when we can benchmark from our brothers who have had success stories. Now we have set off and JEEMA is unstoppable.” What remains to be known, is who JEEMA plans to front for the presidency in the next elections. By JEEMA cultivating relations with Ruto’s UDA when Uganda’s opposition had traditionally been close to Raila Odinga’s political camp is deemed to be a hard-nosed approach to power hunt and might rub fellow opposition parties the wrong way, a suggestion Kyamundu dismissed as preposterous.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
BUGANDA Land Board (BLB) an organisation set up by Kabaka to manage Kingdom land, in partnership with Guoji group (Mirembe-Ssentema project partners) have given out Christmas gifts to the residents of Ssentema as a way of giving back to society.

The BLB team was led by Ms. Namaganda Olivia whereas the Guoji group was led by Ms. Wendy Shen. The practice of giving gifts during Christmas season, according to Christian tradition, is symbolic of the presentation of the gifts by the Three Wise Men to the infant Jesus. Gift giving is an ancient tradition, likely to be as old as humanity itself. It was probably a common practice in prehistory, helping to maintain friendly relations between different groups of people by building bonds of trust between them.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
STUDENTS from neighbouring South Sudan have begged President Yoweri Museveni to accept and become the Patron of the East African Students saying their vote is attributed to the fatherly style of leadership President Museveni exhibits all the time. Speaking during the Uganda National Students Association (UNSA) conference at Hotel Africana in Kampala today, South Sudanese students led by a one Gum Beni Machar said no one apart from Uganda’s Head of State qualifies to be the Patron East African Students Association. “The fatherly style of leadership HE President Museveni has exhibited all the time is unique. We vote Jjajja Museveni Patron of the entire umbrella of East African Students, “ Said Gum Beni Machar, a South Sudanese student during a students conference in Kampala. The conference attracted students from other countries outside East Africa like Somali, Nigeria, Mali, as well wishers of the East African integration. Last week, President Museveni fulfilled his pledge of UGX 170M to facilitate East African Students conference in Kampala hosted by UNSA. The money was delivered through Ms. Hadijah Uzeiye Namyalo the Senior Presidential advisor, Personal Assistant Office of the National Chairman NRM and also National coordinator Bazzukulu. Responding to a request made by the South Sudan Students, a soft speaking Hadijah said, “Thank you very much for that vote. I will deliver the message to our beloved Jjajja Museveni that his Bazzukulu in all East African schools vote him their patron. Your vote of Confidence shouldn’t be taken lightly.” A jovial Hajjat Hadijah pledged to put Jajja Museveni on notice saying she will give feed back through UNSA leadership.

Hadijah was approached by UNSA leaders to reach out to their Patron H.E Gen.YKM who is also the National Chairperson of the NRM.She presented hope to the UNSA when she told them Jajja Museveni had always been and will continue to support the UNSA in all their activities. Ms Hadijah noted that the integration of East Africa is rooted in Pan Africanism as a core principle of NRM. “The regional trade as a precursor to the shared destiny and African interdependence, harbours a humanized custom’s union whose main objective is furthering the liberalisation of intra-regional trade in goods, promoting production efficiency in community, enhancing domestic, cross-border and foreign investment without forgetting promoting economic development plus industrial diversification for the youth.” Ms. Hadijah told the attentively listening students. She cautioned the youth not to be diverted because youth are the yesterday, the today, and the future. As the Office of National Chairman, Hadijah said it welcomes the opportunity to work with UNSA as part of the dynamic team in protecting the peace and security as NRM greatest commitment that has always never stayed back when Uganda’s neighbours lacked peace. “We are together with other African countries as we put our boots on the ground to maintain peace and security”, said Ms. Hadijah Uzeiye.

● Kasule has saluted Gen. Salim Saleh, Chairman Toyota and all Team MK Chairman saying,they are doing a recommendable job for Gen. Muhoozi
STORY BY MARY NAKASSI NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
TWO times Kampala Lord mayoral contestant, City businessman and one of the ruling NRM’s big shots Al-haji Muhammed Kasule Nampaji , commonly known as ‘Big boy’, who 10 years ago was the first NRM leader to come out in public and preached about Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s presidential bid, has struck again, revealing the game plan and how the mission will be fulfilled, come rainfall or sunshine! For starters, Kasule is the man who went bare knuckles with Gen. David Sejusa in 2013 for fighting Muhoozi Project. Right now, he is camped in different countries like Turkey and Qatar on official duties, mainly to deflate opposition NUP groups in those countries and mobilize for Team MK Chairman. Because of his firm belief in Gen. Muhoozi’s potential, he has been spreading his gospel in different parts of the world. He has gone to several European capitals and interacted with several people of substance. “We have tremendous progress but certain things are better left unsaid at the moment.” Said Kasule who likes calling himself Ambassador Diaspora, Team MK Chairman. News Editor, a fastest growing Online Newspaper contacted Mr. Kasule to tell us on what transpired him to go for Muhoozi project and how he feels now that a campaign he single handedly launched 10 years ago when people feared to talk about it, has picked and million of Ugandans are seeing the light he made. Kasule said, “Well, any average student of Uganda’s history and observer of political trends world over could see ten years ago that General Muhoozi was uniquely suited to succeed Gen. Museveni. He was 39 years then but his dedication and commitment to the stability and progress of our country was clear for all to see. Surprisingly due his humble nature he never bragged about his accomplishments.” Asked whether him and Muhoozi had met before and asked him to blow trumpet for his presidential bid, Muhammed Kasule denied this saying when he looked at the challenges facing Uganda and the prospects for the future, he was convinced that Gen. Muhoozi held the perfect skills’ kit to consolidate the achievements of Gen. Museveni and that the First son can take the country to the next level.
WHEN KASULE LAUNCHED MK PRESIDENTIAL BID 10 YEARS AGO In a shocker interview in September 2013 with senior political journalist Moses Mugalula, then working with The Pepper Publications, Muhammed Kasule without mincing words said detractors of the Muhoozi Project led by Gen. David Munungu Sejusa should go hang because all was set for the First son to carry on the mantle after his dad, as the President Republic of Uganda. This was the time when Gen. Sejusa, then Cordinator for Security Organs in Uganda released a dossier against Muhoozi Project which later caused problems to this Four Star – General. Meddie Kasule shockingly went bare knuckles with Gen. Sejusa advising him to be calm or go hang because Muhoozi project was unstoppable. In an interview published by Red Pepper in September 2013, City tycoon Kasule who had contested for Kampala Lord mayor in 2011 and narrowly lost, vowed to pioneer move of seeing President Museveni’s son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba take over power after dad to consolidate Peace, Security and development brought by the NRM government. In fact, Kasule who owns Blue Diamond Ltd, a company that deals in buying and selling of Diamond from Democratic Republic of Congo to the world market told Red pepper how Muhoozi perfectly matched dad for president. “Our beloved President has served this country selflessly and we will always salute him for that. After Gen. Museveni, it’s true we will front his son Gen. Muhoozi for President for he perfectly qualifies, has credentials and merit to win our country’s top office.” Meddie Kasule revealed this to Red pepper, 10 years ago. In this interview, Kasule told Red pepper that Gen. Muhoozi is highly a trained and competent soldier, graduate of Sandhurst a leading military school in the world, a graduate of Fort leaven, North Kansas in United States and has army skills. “Gen. Muhoozi has put his country’s interests before himself. He was deployed to Garamba forests to hunt for Lord’s Resistance Army rebel chief Joseph Kony, sent to Somalia to weed out Alshabab elements who once bombed our city an attack where we lost our sisters and brothers. With such a background, Muhoozi can be trusted with the highest office of the land.” Meddie Kasule, a well travelled businessman said in a published interview 10 years ago. Asked whether that was enough to entrust Muhoozi with our country, Kasule replied, “Assuming there is a highly British or American trained Ugandan heart surgeon, would you deny him the right to operate patients in Mulago Hospital? Brig. Muhoozi is this class. He has a clean record, never committed any crime in courts of law and is fond of defending our country.” Kasule told media that Muhoozi who is now in 40s is a member of the Dot.com generation and a global village. Assuming his elected in as president of Uganda, he will be solving a situation that Muzeeyi (Museveni) has been dealing with. Among them is youth unemployment caused mainly due to Museveni’s introduction of UPE and USE, that has generated educated un employment in Uganda. Kasule believes Muhoozi has built a network of global business elites who he can rely on to work out unemployment in Uganda. When Kasule was asked about the challenges Muhoozi may face, he told Redpepper how such challenges are inevitable. He cited leaders World over, the likes of former Presidents Barrack Obama of USA, UK’s David Cameron, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Joseph Kabira of DRC and others, who have managed the challenges especially of their age. “In fact, countries are going for youthful presidents because they have ability and charisma to face off the challenges.” Said Kasule in an interview.
WHO IS MEDDIE KASULE Born in Ndeeba ghettos, Lubaga division, Kampala, like we said earlier, Kasule is a well travelled and connected businessman. He is a super pro- Museveni. He has been so instrumental in mobilizing youth in Kampala for NRM activities. Blue Diamond, a company he owns has attracted many investors to Uganda for Aggro processing industry, meat industry, Tile industry and these individuals confirm that the business environment is very condusive. In 2011, Kasule was un opposed in the NRM primaries for Lord mayor but days to picking nomination forms at the National Electoral commission, Amama himself rang Kasule and ditected him out of the race in favour of Peter Ssematimba who had not contested in the primaries. By his powers as the then Secretary General, Mbabazi promised to refund all Kasule’s money he had spent which was over UGX 300M, something he never fulfilled.

“We held discussions with senior party leaders led by then NRM SG John Patrick Amama Mbabazi who were impressed by my manifesto and vision for Kampala. I was however advised to step aside for someone more experienced, in the intrest of my part i complied. It is unfortunate that Peter Ssematimba lost!” Kasule noted. Kasule had no other alternative but stepping aside for Mbabazi’s Peter Ssematimba. This annoyed many party members including Alhaj Moses Kigongo, Prof. Gilbert Baalibaseka Bukenya, Amelia Kyambadde and some sections of the first family. Insiders say, State house hand in his bid for Lord mayor. We are told, Kasule and a certain member of the First family (names withheld) have been business partners for years and so, shares a lot politically. It is believed, this first family member introduced Kasule to Gen. Muhoozi. It was because of Mbabazi’s blunders that Capt. Edward Francis Babu an NRM staunch declared his intenstion to stand for the same post haulting Amama Mbabazi for not honouring Party primaries which were won by Kasule. For those remembering , Capt. Babu on one of his rallies he said, “Atleast Lukwago will win but not Mbabazi’s Ssematimba was used a shortcut to win party ticket.”
