The recent exchange of words between singer Catherine Kusasira and FDC’s Hon. Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda has taken an intriguing turn. It all began when Hon. Ssemujju publicly questioned the monthly salary received by Kusasira and her fellow artists for their work, denouncing it as a waste of taxpayers’ money.
Kusasira swiftly fired back, accusing Ssemujju of frequently jumping onto various issues without much thought. She even issued a warning, hinting at a looming political showdown in parliament.
In response, the Kiira Municipality MP clarified the roles played by Kusasira and her cohorts, emphasizing that they are not Presidential advisors, as they have claimed. Instead, they hold the title of ‘Special Presidential Assistants,’ a distinction he urged them to acknowledge when communicating with the public.
Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda elaborated on the circumstances of their appointments, revealing that President Buchaman enlisted them during the campaign period to bolster his chances against Bobi Wine. However, he made it clear that they were not part of the official list of presidential advisors.
Furthermore, Ssemujju raised questions about whether Kusasira and her colleagues had undergone any interviews to validate their positions. He called upon the minister responsible for appointing government officials to provide clarity on their roles.
This verbal exchange has added a new layer of intrigue to the ongoing debate over the roles and titles of public figures, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in government appointments. The back-and-forth between Kusasira and Ssemujju Nganda promises to keep us engaged in the unfolding political drama.
