NUP’s James Mubiru Has Run To Nabanjja For Financial Help Saying Bobi Wine Is A Disappointment

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news December 30, 2021

The National Unity Platform (NUP) councilor James Mubiru has run to PM Nabanjja for financial help expressing disappointment with Bobi Wine’s leadership.

He sent a letter to the Prime Minister’s office to intervene and help with a financial incentive to enable him to travel abroad for treatment.

“Greetings from the bottom of my heart and let me take this opportunity to thank you for the good work of serving our nation directed towards securing the future of Ugandans. I hereby request your esteemed office for financial support towards my travel abroad for further medication,” Mubiru wrote.

At the peak of the previous general campaigns in 2021, military authorities arrested and detained him.

This is was under the jurisdiction of the army court for donning a red beret. According to prosecution, this is a monopoly of the armed forces.

This therefore is an act which is contrary to section 164(i) of the UPDF Act 2005. He was later granted bail in August after 6 months.

Mubiru’s health, however, had not been the same since then. He has been in and out of hospital. He says doctors at Rubaga hospital diagnosed him with complications to his liver, advising him to seek further medical attention.

James Mubiru says he has tried reaching out to Bobi Wine plus all other leaders of NUP. However, their slow reaction has disappointed him.

He says he doesn’t have the luxury of time because the doctors say the condition may worsen to cancer if they don’t treat it so fast.

“I have tried to look for funds from my party leaders including the party president Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the leader of the opposition, Members of Parliament, Mayors, the diaspora community, etc but what I can say is that I am disappointed by their slow response yet my situation is worsening,” Mubiru says.
