Ruhinda north Member of Parliament Tycoon Thomas Tayebwa has been accused by his opponent of turning voters into beggars instead of teaching them how to get out of poverty.

Nelson Nkwene 31 years old an FDC candidate has noted that instead of teaching Ruhinda north people how to fish, MP Thomas is giving them fish.

FDC’s Nkwene said this yesterday in an exclusive interview with www.mknewslink.com managing editor at the company headquarters in Bushenyi town.

“Thomas is paying fees, buying scholastic materials, turning parents and children into beggars,” Nkwene noted.

He added that death is a must wondering where these children and parents would go if Thomas died.

Thomas Tayebwa who was formerly from FDC stood for Western Youth MP in 2006 and lost to Kashaija of NRM but after the South Sudan war, Kahinda Otafire linked Thomas to powerful business soldiers of Sudan.

He joined NRM around 2014 and he was recruited by Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafire who later supported him to win Ruhinda North MP elections.
