Bugweri County MP Abdul Katuntu on Monday handed over COSASE chairperson office to Kawempe South MP Mubarak Munyagwa.

Katuntu’s tenure was supposed to end on January 13 but was extended to February.

The pair met on Monday and held a closed-door meeting before briefing the press where Katuntu to Munyagwa for handing over office late.

Last year, Munyangwa told reporters in Kampala that they will see a 'difference and will always follow matters to their logical conclusion, not this business of exciting the public'.
