Senior Presidential Advisor Yiga Kisakyamukama addressing the media during a press conference

By Nasser Kayanja

Senior Presidential Advisor Yiga Kisakyamukama has called on the Inspectorate of Government (IG) to investigate the wealth of NRM Treasurer Babrah Nekesa Owundo, demanding that she explain how she allegedly accumulated assets worth Shs54 billion within three years of assuming office at the party secretariat.

Kisakyamukama made the remarks during a press conference at his office in Lubaga, Kampala, following criticism on social media accusing him of pursuing a personal vendetta against Nekesa.

He dismissed the allegations, insisting that his campaign was not driven by personal differences but was part of his mandate to fight corruption and promote accountability, as directed by President Yoweri Museveni.

Kisakyamukama questioned how Nekesa had allegedly acquired property valued at more than Shs50 billion in just three years and challenged the Inspectorate of Government to establish the sources of her wealth.

He maintained that his actions were not a personal battle but a matter of national interest, arguing that accountability should begin within the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) before extending to other political institutions.

Kisakyamukama also indicated that he intends to turn his attention to Leader of the Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi, whom he challenged to account for his sources of income.

He further identified the Uganda Police Force as another institution that should come under scrutiny in the fight against corruption, suggesting that investigations should extend beyond individual political figures.

However, the allegations against Nekesa remain claims raised by Kisakyamukama and would require independent verification by the relevant accountability institutions.
