GREATER BUSHENYI ABOVE 80 YEARS PROFESSORS KAMUNTU, KABWEGYERE AND MUSEVENI STILL WANT TO BE VOTED INTO POLITICAL OFFICES

BY WILBER MUHWEZI KASIBANTE [MK]

IN GREATER BUSHENYI

The two professors Kamuntu, Kabwegyere and president Yoweri Museveni seriously still have appetite for power despite being 80 years and above.

Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu is moving around day and night to be elected MP FOR Sheema south in Sheema district. He lost the seat in 2021 to a fellow professor, Dickens Mushemeza.

On the same note, Prof. Mushemeza told www.mknewslink.com managing director that if he is to hand over the seat he cant hand it over to prof. Kamuntu an 80 year old but those young than him.

The youths in Sheema south equally dismiss the message of the very aged prof. Kamuntu. They want reasonably young people to lead them as MP.
