Kazibwe Bashir speaks out on Ssegirinya, Ssewanyana

In a social media (Twitter) post today Tuesday 17 January, Kazibwe said the jailed MPs received money from State House with instructions to expose whites who were giving the then National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi money for cmapaigns.

The Kawempe South MP further revealed that instead, the MPs used the money to buy ambulances and lied that they got the money from well-wishers.

“Remember that time Ssegirinya went to the US? They were looking for him. They wanted him to give accountability of the money they received,” he said.

Kazibwe added: “Many NGOs lost licenses because that is how Kyagulanyi was receiving money from whites who fund them. Most of their bank accounts were blocked by the Financial Intelligence Authority. That is why both Ssewanyana and Ssegirinya are in jail. No judge can give them bail because they ate State House money and did nothing.”

He hinted at the fact that both MPs suspiciously spent a lot of money during their campaigns yet their family backgrounds are known as not being that good.

 “Campaigns are very expensive. We both know Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana are from humble backgrounds ask yourself where they got money to splash. If you are sure you want to serve your people why should you be bribed? Where did they get money to play around with,” he questioned in his social media post.
