The mayor of Nsangi Town Council, Mathias Walukaga has dismissed allegations that the National Unity Platform which he subscribes to sells cards to flag bearers. For some time, the Bobi Wine led party has faced allegations of fraud and corruption.
Rumors have claimed how the party’s selection of flag bearers is undemocratic as the tickets are given to the highest bidders or those close to Bobi Wine. However, Walukaga who is the national coordinator in the arts sector for the party dismissed the claims.
He challenged all those singing these claims to produce evidence of there’s any. Additionally the Kadongo Kamu singer said that these accusations are just propaganda painted around by the NRM just to entrench their stay in power.
“Let me make this categorically clear, NUP does not sell cards to anyone. If there is, I challenge them to come out and bring proof. As a political science student, this is propaganda spread by the NRM to assert their stay in power,” said the Tulepuke singer.
