SEMBABULE .The Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) presidential flag-bearer Maj. Gen. (rtd) Mugisha Muntu has warned active and retired security operatives against involving themselves in vote rigging .
Campaigning in Ntuusi Town, Lwemiyaga county in Sembabule district on Tuesday . said much as he was still verifying the authenticity of the reports Muntu said that he had chanced on a video on social media in which Rtd Brig . Emmanuel Rwashande , the ruling National Resistance Movement flag bearer for Lwemiyaga County parliamentary seat appeared to impute that they would rig Opposition presidential candidates.
“I don’t know how true that is. But if Gen. Rwashande declared so, if there are any of his friends, tell him to stay away from my votes,” Muntu, who is also a former army commander, said
Adding that before Rwashande crosses that line, he needs to engage in soul searching.
“He should try to call Hon. Chris Rwakasisi, spare time, maybe 30 minutes and sit with him over tea. Hon. Chris Rwakasisi is now Born Again, I know he speaks the truth,” Gen Muntu said.
“He might offer him some advice, which, if he listens to, he will change his ways, and if he doesn’t, he shall get a problem before he leaves this world,” he added.
Fast forward, he expressed regret that victims of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) government, some of whom serve in the current Government, are repeating similar mistakes.
While such would be avoided through self-correction, unfortunately, he said the ruling party abhors honest and sober leaders.
Citing the example of incumbent Lwemiyaga County MP Theodore Ssekikubo.
It should be noted that Ssekikubo, who has represented Lwemiyaga County for 25 years, recently lost the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party flag to Rwanshande in a heated internal primary election.
Rwanshande garnered 16,358 votes against Ssekikubo’s 8,702 votes.
