The Leader of Opposition (LOP) in Parliament, Mathias Mpuuga while speaking to journalists on Thursday, July 13, 2023, said that the two National Unity Platform (NUP) Members of Parliament (MPs) who crossed to MK Project are not okay and will need counselling.

According to Mpuuga, opposition is not about individuals, whether young, short or experienced, but it is about people. In opposition, what is most critical is that the people who elected those two MPs are still there and have not had aspirations or frustrations addressed.

“People move by their stomachs,and appetites, the demand and key needs of the people that voted them remain, at anyone time presented those people will make a move which represents their aspirations,” said Mpuuga.

He further said that there is need to understand that in the current times, it has not been all lost, it has just been the nature of the politics unfortunately, so at any given chance politicians find reason to be as confused as those two colleagues, and look we can never justify that confusion.

“Like one was referring to ideology, maybe he wanted the definition, I doubt he has got any deeper understanding of that word,” Mpuuga said.

Mpuuga, queried the Journalists to articulate what the MK project is all about, he wondered whether it is about rice, Pilao, he asked the Journalists to tell the country what it is all about.

He pitted the MPs and others who follow MK project as it is illegal in it’s dealings.

He warned leaders to desist from using platforms offered to them for person benefits, and called it a very dangerous precedent and advised the public to mind the caliber of leaders they vote.

The two MPs who joined MK project are Twaha Kagabo MP Bukoto South and Jimmy Lwanga, MP Njeru Municipality, both say they joined MK because they believe in his political ideology.
