Member of parliament representing Makindye West, Hon. Allan Ssewanyana has put Bobi Wine and National Unity Platform on notice to organize the house or else he will leave.
Ssewanyana defected from Democratic Party to NUP as the battle to defend his MP seat took center stage in 2020. But now after comfortably beating his competitors hands down with help of the ‘Bobi Wine Effect’ , the self-proclaimed Omusajja wa’bwinno is threatening to make a U-turn.
In an interview with Nile Post, the Youthful MP claimed that he is not happy and disappointed with the way the party is led.
The legislature says he doesn’t know why he was sidelined and not given any party responsibility yet other members are occupying 2 positions.
“I don’t know why it is like that ,other members have got two responsibilities just in a single term but of course I don’t know why, maybe this question would go to whoever appoints; the leader of opposition and the party executive. I don’t know why .Maybe I am looked at as someone who can’t perform but I don’t think I am like that, I am a performer”, he said.
Asked if he regrets switching to NUP, Ssewanyana said he didn’t make any mistake because its a perty of his generation.
“No, I didn’t make any mistake, it is a party of my generation. If we join our heads, we can develop the party further, If we don’t engage into small internal wrangles as party members .We need to focus on fighting dictatorship and get strategies that can help us develop this party further. So I didn’t make a mistake to join it, it was time to start a new life as a person”, he told Nile Post before dropping a bombshell.
“About going back to DP, it will depend on how I feel in my current party and if DP has changed especially the leadership and its perception against leaders, I could go back and that will depend on how I am perceived while in the National Unity Platform. It is the environment that makes you stay or leave, so if that environment allows, we shall be there, if it doesn’t of course you quit and that is politics”.
