Due to politics, Walukagga who lost some of his die-hard supporters to the National Unity Platform a political party headed by Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu aka Bobi Wine.

A section of Walukagga's supporters who had attened the funeral questioned why the two - Big Eye and Kusasira - had been allowed to attend yet they defected to NUP.

The incident happened at Walukagga’s ancestral grounds in Kinyerere, Masaka where his dad was buried.

Chasing of the two public figures has, however, been condemned by different people as having been mean and primitive given that they had attended to condole the bereaved.
