Man at the center of Semujju Nganda-NUP war speaks out on his right to b'me new Kira MP

MULENGERA NEWS INTERVIEW WITH COUNSEL GEORGE MUSISI:
Barely 40, George Musisi is a leading lawyer for the National Unity Platform. And he has been at it, standing up to defend Bobi Wine and other political prisoners and victims of political persecution for some good years.
And recently he was catapulted into controversy of some sort when sections of NUP leaders in Mukono considered him to be the most suitable person to take over from long serving Betty Nambooze and become the new MP for Mukono Municipality.
As that was being debated, Bobi Wine concluded that Semujju Nganda had stayed on too long as Kira Municipality MP and fronted George Musisi to be the man to take on Nganda for 2026 in Kira. Quite predictably, this has created lots of controversy and contradictions for the opposition.
And many have likened it to Bobi Wine burning, as opposed to building, bridges which he requires to build to broaden the anti-Museveni coalition going into 2026 if the NUP Principal is to ever grow his electoral strength from the 3.5m votes he scored in 2021 to something bigger in 2026.
This Monday morning we are previledged to have Counsel George Musisi to address the elephant in the room by talking about all this and much more in this attached KZbin video interview:
During the interview, Counsel George Musisi eloquently responded to the following questions and much more:
There has been a lot of speculation that you lawyer George Musisi will be standing for the job of MP in 2026. Will it be Munoko or Kira Municipality?
How comfortable are you, as a person, having your name repeatedly referred to in relation to the controversy or contradictions that your party's desire to oust Semujju Nganda has created?
Aren't you concerned about the extent to which your party's desire to oust Semujju Nganda could potentially complicate efforts to build, strengthen and enlarge the broader opposition coalition as the country counts down to 2026?
In 2021, your Party President got 3.5m votes which he must grow and enlarge by broadening the political coalition around his bid for Presidency. Now by insisting on antagonising Semujju Nganda in Kira, don't you think you are burning as opposed to building bridges?
You have already been contributing to the cause for a better-governed country. Why do you now think or believe that you have to be an MP in order to make a contribution? In other words,what difference does being MP make? What's that contribution can not be made unless you get to occupy the office of MP?
What exactly are people saying in Kira? What are some of the concerns that are being raised about Nganda's continued occupation of that office of area MP?
You belong to NUP and you are one of the key decision-makers in the party. Why is it that your party doesn't want to hold competitive elections as a way of establishing party structures and determining flag bearers for MP and other elective positions?
Let's also talk a bit about the Mpuuga faction issue. Since his ousting from the office of LoP, Parliamentary Commission and LoP, lots of chaos has resulted and thereby creating bad publicity for the party? Do you agree with those who say that Mathias Mpuuga's capacity to cause trouble for NUP party had been underestimated? Is there anything that his group has said or done that has taken you by surprise?
Let's briefly discuss current LoP Joel Senyonyi. Are you proud of his performance so far?
Then we have the issue of Mr Dean Lubowa Sava. That action that your law firm had filed against him on behalf of Mr. Joel Senyonyi. How far did that go? Is it true you people became nervous and back off the case?
Then very briefly...over the weekend reports emerged that the NUP treasurer general Mr. Benjamin Katana, who also happens to be your business partner, had defected and rejoined NRM. How true is that?
PROFILE:
Now as we move towards the end; let's focus on George Musisi the man. What type of home did you grow up in and where was this?
Where did you go to school? And with whom? What's your status currently? Are you a parent? A spouse or not as yet?
For how long have you been part of the anti-Museveni struggle? Are you one of those who were inspired by Robert Kyagulanyi or you had been there prior in the trenches?
Also talking about politics abit once again. There are people who have suggested that the opposition NUP should consider deploying its high quality human resources like George Musisi for vacant constituencies like Kampala Central as opposed to antagonising like-minded comrades like Semujju Nganda in Kira. What do you say to such people?

Time Will Tell ❤

[@MosesKawooya-w7j]

Something is wrong with the opposition. Why do you field someone against one of your good cadres in the parliament? Hon Ssemujju is a shadow minister in the coalition government in the current parliament. It means you don't trust him and that's why you brought George Musisi. Uganda politics is dead and rotten. Instead of adding numbers of good cadres. You're removing. Omusajja akyatufuga nnyo. Opposition doesn't know M7

[@kderrick1000]

Ssemuju refused to sign the censure motion against Mpuuga. To us that was so revealing. Those group, the Ssemujus, Mpuuga, Ssegona, etc. there time has finally come. For they’ve played opposition for so long to enrich themselves and that’s it. Their integrity is in tatters!

[@ismamuwonge7816]

What has Semujju done so far? Talking about M7?

[@Landez721]

intermittent musisi to replace proven ssemujju! NUP is indeed someone’s project

[@SsimbwaUmar-f2y]

So who should replace ssemiju he/she is not someone’s project

[@KatwesigeAmbrose]

Good luck bro, we trust you, Ambrose from DD

[@lubowabenon7741]

You are only after money bt you don't by any standards match the caliber of ssemujju.If you think that standing on nup ticket will do you wonders.u are day dreaming.Even nup's support in buganda is declining.But ssemujju is likely to teach a lesson u will never forget.Good luck

[@UncleJamesOpoks]

Fact , no one can replace semujju uganda imagine I love this kits mp from northern uganda,the like of semujju is better than all the mp in the house combine

[@thisenthat]

What is this Lawyer talking about? If Katana en Lewis are not Mols, why is Katana coming for MP on NRM card? The truth will set you free brother. Don’t just talk bse you want the party card.

[@kabuyeyasin1300]

Who told u katana is coming on nrm ticket, ur fighting hard to put nup with propaganda but mwelimba

[@margaretmpanja3734]

Still for Hon Semujju all the way. Don’t waste your money

[@KWMEDIAUG]

NUP only has 2 MPs out of 139 from Eastern Region but busy fighting for the already conquered Constituencie. M7 is using NUP to fighting all the experienced Politicians in Buganda. Which foot soldier is talking about Katana today like they do to Hon.Mpuuga? We're not a 21:28 ll fools.

[@kaserukyaminyawandi3600]

BUT shall they be there forever, let others also go and serve. Ssemujju is a shadow min of this term not the next term of svc

Ua playing with fire 🔥, Hon Ssemuju is already proven he is real not like most of ur MPs who are just money hangry. so don't waste ur time and resources, go to Ruhama county we have even never seen that woman in parliament, but she is never fired like the rules of parliament States

[@amurikiyemba264]

Some Ugandans are dense! You mean Semujju is the only person who went to school and he's supposed to be there for good.

[@RamaDominic]

@@amurikiyemba264 u who want to chase away a woman who have bared children and bring a non fertile one, who is denser?? What has musis ever done and u convince people?

Retirement has got age limit and also MP terms are not limited in any Country worldwide. Not even in USA or England.

I think it's good move

[@BalabyekiFarouk]

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY BRO, SSEMUJU is a provision solution for Ugandan politics, get another place to play politces.

[@jimmykats7615]

Yes i agree, but if you're on the verge of winning a trophy, you can't replace a tested and talented player with one you ain't sure of. Besides, Kiira is a secured zone, why contest in a secured zone with a good team player? Why don't you go to NRM areas to secure those areas as well? It proves one point you aint after taking power. You're after improving your standards of living.( mulwanyisa yalla). Anyway Biden a akikiridde essaza lye Dalaware from 1972 upto lwafuuse president. Era abadde neba mwesimbako nabawangula, kati namwe mugende muwangulwe, mpaka lwe munafuna bye musobola okola ebirala.

Go on Mr musisi

[@user-kw8sb2gu1s]

The truth is you can't manage a seasoned person like Ssemuju.

[@SsimbwaUmar-f2y]

True but what former Vp ssekandi, ameria kyambadde, rosemary ssenninde were managed how about hon ssemuju

I believe you would stand a chance if you stood against namboze but against Semuju, you're headed for disaster

[@frankssenfuma2451]

Nup knows what is wrong and right because when it comes to remove an educated member they bring educated,but in other places they bring comedians stupid.

[@RoyNassuna]

Why don’t you stand against a nrm candidate though still in central?

[@margaretmpanja3734]

Look for NRM candidates to oust mutuleke

[@serudseru7615]

Semuju has been in that place for donkey years, why doesn't the consistency get someone fresh,he has even become arrogant, he is not working for the people anymore geenda geenda
