Buddo—The political landscape in Busiro East has taken a sharp turn as Hajji Abdul Kiyimba launched a fresh wave of criticism against incumbent MP Medard Lubega Ssegona during a rally in Buddo, accusing him of underperformance over the last 15 years.
Kiyimba, addressing a crowd in Kyengera, claimed that Ssegona had failed to deliver meaningful change to the area despite his time in office. Using a Luganda proverb, he remarked, “Eyabaaba yeyanziba,” roughly translated as “the one who stole from you is the one who stole from ”me”—suggesting that voters should reconsider their loyalty to the long-serving legislator.
The remarks have drawn a swift response from civil society activist and media entrepreneur Nyanzi Martin Luther, who is backing Ssegona’s campaign. Nyanzi accused rival camps of exploiting Ssegona’s own public statements to weaken his credibility. “These people are now using Ssegona’s quotes to fight him. That means they can’t be there without him,” Nyanzi said.

He urged voters to assess candidates based on current capability rather than emotional rhetoric. “People, please vote wisely. You can’t dismiss a legislator who has served three terms as if he’s been in office for 100 years,” he argued. “If Kiyimba is elected, he’ll still need time and resources to settle. Meanwhile, Ssegona already has experience and the means to deliver immediately.”
The exchange marks a growing intensity in the lead-up to the 2026 elections, where local development, infrastructure, and accountability have become central issues for voters in Busiro East. While Kiyimba promises a new direction, critics argue that he offers no immediate plan beyond political critique.
Observers suggest that the race is evolving into a broader referendum on performance versus promises. With influential figures like Nyanzi now entering the conversation, the constituency is witnessing not just a battle of manifestos but a clash of political narratives.
