Politicians and electorates have been called upon to desist from being bought by selfish Mafias in the forthcoming election.

Richard Byaruhanga Katerane, the aspirant for Mayor
Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality in an exclusive with www.mknewslink.com , revealed that some politicians are funded by Mafias to contest on certain positions such that when they get through they do them favors.

The former LCIII chairman central division Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality noted that the act results into poor service delivery since leaders are serving interests of individuals instead of communities.

Byaruhanga adds that this has denied people a chance to vote visionary leaders because of voting after money hence calling upon all Bushenyi residents and Ugandans at large to shun that vice.

On scientific campaigns, Byaruhanga said that he is ready to follow guidelines of using radio, TV and other social media as required by the Electoral Commission.

Others in competition include; Mwebembezi Francis, Martin Rushegyera and others in NRM primaries for the flag bearer and incumbent Jackson Kamugasha on independent ticket.
