Police in Sembabule led by the District Police Commander blocked Nina Kankunda, a musician known by stage name as ‘Nina Roz’ from addressing a family gathering organized at her father’s home.
Kankunda had planned to take advantage of the family gathering to officially inform relatives of her political ambitions.
However, to the community’s surprise, the DPC appeared with two patrols full of armed police officers and ordered closure of the meeting.
He noted that the family had not sought permission from the police to gather in big numbers.
Kankunda’s political ambitions are gaining recognition everyday not only within friends, followers and netizens, but also attracting more attention from residents at Sembabule district.
She previously identified herself with the National Unity Platform (NUP) and actively committed to the party activities.
“If you indeed came to see your relatives, why are you putting on a red beret, and clothes branded with Kyagulanyi pictures, are they part of your family attires.” The DPC asked before instructing Kankunda to ‘greet’ a few family members inside the house and go back to Kampala.
The NUP Secretary General, David Lewis Rubongoya, wonders why police have dedicated much energy against Kankunda yet other people, specifically those associating with the regime are allowed to freely organize big gatherings.
“A regime in panic, while our comrades are and leaders are being hounded everywhere, politicians associated with the criminal regime are moving around doing their activities.” Rubongoya posted on ‘X’.
The DPC succeeded in foiling the gathering but his actions have instead ignited abhorrence against not only the current woman MP, Mary Begumisa but also other legislators subscribing to the ruling party.
Simon Rweremba, a resident at Sembabule suspects that the DPC’s actions were facilitated by Kankunda’s political rivals.
“The political atmosphere in our district is always chaotic, now Nina Roz is the biggest threat to the current MP, foiling her meetings is not a surprise to us. But this ignites us to consider ‘protest vote’ in the forthcoming general elections.” Rweremba noted.
