I don’t have any enemies in politics, I only have opponents- Mpuuga

Published

The Parliamentary Commissioner Mathias Mpuuga has dismissed claims of having enemies in politics, emphasising that his differences with opponents are purely ideological rather than personal.

“I don’t have any enemies in politics, I only have opponents,” Mpuuga stated. “Enmity is the language of dictators.”

His remarks come amid ongoing tensions with the National Unity Platform (NUP), the party under which he was elected to Parliament.

Mpuuga also revealed that during the recent attempts to censure him from his parliamentary position, some of his colleagues privately admitted that the move was not about wrongdoing but rather political survival.

“When there were attempts to censure me in Parliament, some friends of mine came to tell me that they knew I didn’t do any wrong, but ‘the man’ told them that it’s their only chance at a ticket,” he said.

Mpuuga has been at the center of a fallout with NUP leadership, following allegations of financial impropriety linked to a service award he received while serving as Leader of the Opposition. The controversy led to a push within the party to remove him from his role as a Parliamentary Commissioner, a motion that ultimately failed.

Despite the rift, Mpuuga remains defiant, arguing that his conscience is clear and that political disagreements should not translate into personal hostility. His latest remarks appear to be a direct response to those within NUP who have publicly criticized him, as tensions continue to shape the party’s internal dynamics.
