The Kiira Municipality Member of Parliament, Semujju Nganda, has mastered the art of hypocrisy and deception using his oratory skill and eloquence.
He disguises himself as a pro-change activist but does a lot of dirty work behind the curtains.
Many Ugandans have failed to understand why he is the only member of Parliament who relentlessly attacks the first family in his plenary speeches, but the speaker has never denied him a microphone.
Semujju is a wolf in a goat’s skin who was recently exposed during the Parliament exhibition as the most traveled legislator earning hefty allowances.
It was discovered that he was actually paid for the trips he did not make, and he never returned the money.
He disguises himself as a freedom fighter, but in the actual sense he is part of the corrupt opposition members of parliament who connive with the leaders of parliament to steal taxpayers’ money.
During the signing of the censure motion to impeach the corrupt parliamentary commissioners, Semujju declined to append his signature based on the fact that Mathias Mpuuga was his longtime friend, something that left Ugandans wondering if Semujju acted based on values and principle or just individualism and emotional attachment.
Semujju uses his oratory skills and eloquence to play on the minds of the opposition and his voters; he spends all his time in parliament abusing President Museveni and his family, and he hardly leaves parliament without mentioning their names.
He doesn’t even remember to mention the challenges faced by the Kira municipality people.
As a merchant of chaos who has caused sharp divisions in the Forum for Democratic Change alongside Kiza Besigye, Semujju has been riding on his journalistic skills to portray himself as a performer in parliament. However, he has recently been exposed as one of the legislators hiding behind eloquence to do all sorts of evils.
His hypocrisy that has made him play to the gallery for long is likely to be short-lived come the 2026 elections.
Signs already show Ugandans and other politicians have since understood his tricks, and he will get serious opponents as well as a vote of no confidence from the voters who are already disappointed.
