Ugandan MP Mpuuga Calls for Honest Dialogue and Unity Among Opposition Forces

Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba, the Member of Parliament representing Nyendo-Mukungwe, has urged change-seeking forces in Uganda to engage in honest dialogue to facilitate a peaceful transition of power in the country. Speaking at a thanksgiving mass at Kitovu Sports Arena in Masaka City on Friday, Mpuuga emphasized the need for leaders to prioritize peaceful transition over bitter confrontations.

Mpuuga expressed his commitment to building cohesion among opposition political parties, noting that Uganda has been independent for over 60 years, yet political players still regard each other as enemies. He emphasized the need to define and unite against their differences for the country’s progress.

Mpuuga cautioned against pride, selfishness, and confrontations, which he believes hinder efforts towards political transition. He also stressed the importance of reconciling and building mutual respect within the NUP and reflecting on the opinions of all concerned stakeholders to collectively define the country’s future.

The MP has been at odds with his party’s leadership after he received a “service award” of 500 million shillings while serving as Leader of Opposition. He faces ridicule, hatred, and betrayal, but remains committed to championing good governance principles.

Busiro East MP, Medard Lubega Ssegona, urged the NUP leadership to reconcile and enforce discipline among its members, expressing optimism that the party can recover and regain public confidence.

Monsignor John Baptist Ssebayigga, representing Kampala Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere, emphasized the importance of unity and fairness among leaders for the country’s well-being.

Mpuuga’s call for unity and honest dialogue resonates as a crucial step towards a peaceful transition of power in Uganda, where political tensions and conflicts have long been a hindrance to progress. By putting aside differences and working together, opposition forces can create a stronger, more united front to drive positive change in the country.
