MP Twaha Kagabo divides NRM MPs

Kagabo’s Crossing From NUP to NRM

Buganda South Member of Parliament, Twaha Kagabo, has sparked debate among legislators from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party after he met with President Museveni.

Kagabo, who is a member of the NUP, defended his meeting with the President, describing it as a privilege for any MP or politician to meet the President. He explained that he has not crossed from opposition to NRM.

However, Kagabo’s decision has gathered mixed reactions from NRM MPs like Dokolo South MP Felix Okot Ogong, who warned that the crossing of opposition MPs to NRM spells doom for Uganda’s democracy as it works against multiparty democracy motives.

“I don’t like people who betray their own system. You have to be straight because you are in a multiparty dispensation. You have to serve the nation. When in opposition, you have to come out with a clear policy statement to do what Ugandans will benefit,” Ogong said.

Arua Central MP, Mr. Jackson Atima, said Kagabo’s move is a testimony that NUP is losing popularity and phasing out.
