As the head of government business and economy, Nabbanja is always at the forefront of the country’s economic wheel.
Amidst the rising prices of basic commodities especially soap, a quote from New Vision shared on social media appeared to say that Nabbanja had told people to substitute soap with Pawpaw leaves.
“Last time I was watching the news and I saw people complaining about shops having different prices. What should the government do now? And those saying soap is high, I remember when I was growing up, we used to use pawpaw tree leaves to wash. They can resort to that if soap is expensive,” the quote read.
This spread like wildfire amongst the public and some started calling for her sacking. These said that she’s now eaten big in her office and has started bragging and forgetting where she came from.
This saw Nabbanja call into the offices of NBS TV during the Frontline program to clarify the issue. She said that she has never said such a statement and it’s meant to tarnish her name.
Meanwhile New Vision’s CEO Don Wanyama also said that the quote was fake and was never published by the newspaper.
However, despite all this, prices of basic needs have sporadically escalated beyond a common man’s pocket. Some have even decided to ditch some items in order to cope with what their pockets can afford.
