From the look of things, newly elected legislature Muhammad Ssegirinya might never step in parliament if he truly lacks academic credentials.
Ssegirinya aka Mr. Update’s dream of earning millions of cash as he represents the people of Kawempe North in the August House hangs by a thread after his competitor Suleiman Kidandala found out that he apparently forged his academic documents.
It turned out that while getting nominated as a candidate for the said political post, Mr. Update submitted in forged academic documents.
“We have checked in our records and our findings are as follows; Candidate U005/054(2007) is Nampiima Sarah who sat at Mengo secondary school, not Ssegirinya Richard. Candidate U0053/754(2009) IS Nabadda Maureen who sat at Mengo Secondary School, not Ssegirinya Richard…” UNEB’s Peter Anywar noted In a letter dated March 17, 2021.
Now as Mr. Update is still sweating plasma as he ponders for the next move, apparently Wamala Dalausi, the Headmaster of PIMBAS, a school where he claims to have studied has also denied him.
“When is saw Ssegirinya’s academic story trending in news I was forced to check through the records to see whether I could see his name but it wasn’t there. Yes he studied at our school but he didn’t sit from here as he claims and our index number is U1549 not U00 as it’s indicated on his documents, we don’t issue out documents which don’t have U1549 index number to students”, Wamala explained in an interview with a local tabloid media outlet.
Meanwhile Ssegirinya insists he has all the required academic documents but he will only release them when the time is right. Last week on Friday he took to twiiter and bragged how he is fully equipped with his academic documents via his Twitter account.
“I am very clever, I have my papers and would have put them out already, but I know those accusing me have no evidence so I am waiting for them to show their evidence, then I will also reveal mine,” he said.
Ssegirinya fussed that those accusing him of lacking the proper academic documents are only trapping him to reveal his real documents but he will not fall for it.
“They want me to put out my papers then they use them against me. I am very alert, and will not fall for their game. They have done so many things but have failed because I am not easily cowed,” he added.
