The veteran journalist has always aired his views on his Twitter account, a thing that has got him clashing with the majority of his followers.
NUP supporters always feel offended by his comments which they feel are targeted against them. They feel that he is mocking their recent loss in the presidential elections of January.
This time, however, Kasumba seems to have met his match in Masaka Municipality MP, Hon Mathias Mpuuga.
With his wit and flair, Kasumba set out to pose his questions to the legislator who listened carefully before he could answer back.
“How do you go about the business of finding a leader of the opposition; (a) when you claim to have won an election…” part of Kasumba’s questions read.
Mathias who calmly listened to the questions started by thanking Samson for hosting him before tearing Samson apart.
“To start with your uncharitable question, I do not know whether you’re trying to set me up. I have just been sworn in as an MP and I do not expect a journalist of your status and age to ask me such a question. I think it’s very unfortunate and uncharitable.’ Mpuuga replied.
The MP tasked Samson to verify his claims that NUP lost before adding that the elections were rigged.
Social media users were amused by Mpuuga’s reply a thing that has made Samson the most trending topic in Uganda right now.
However, others disagreed with the legislator’s reply. They cited that age and status are things someone like Mpuuga should not be mentioning in his arguments.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
