A verbal bitter war has erupted between Mubende District Members of Parliament, Bashir Lubega Ssempa of Mubende Municipality and David Kabanda of Kasambya County who are currently not seeing eye to eye, sending bitter messages to each other via radio, WhatsApp, and other media channels.
The source told Mubende Post that, the Ssempa and Kabanda camps are apart at the moment despite their bond that seemed unblockable during the 2021 General elections under an alliance that they had dubbed “BAMUDA” (Bashir, Muhereza, David).
The source says that the bitter war was prompted by Ssempa’s disagreement to side with Kabanda as the ‘forehead’ of all National Resistance Movement (NRM) carders in Mubende District.
The fight has long reached supporters of both camps. MP David Kabanda’s supporters claimed that the reason for honorable Bashir’s accusations against his colleague may be to keep himself in the news because he owes many promises he made to the people of Mubende Municipality that he did not fulfill.
However, according to voice notes on the Mubende Post newsdesk, Bashir Ssempa insists that it’s over his dead body to allow anyone to tell him what to do in his constituency.
“Kabanda can’t tell me what to do and there’s no one who will tell me what to do in my constituency,” MP Bashir partly said.
This bitter fight that seems to be out of the hands of the two MPs was lately intervened by Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa trying to rebond the NRM MPs but he was flogging a dead horse.
