Former Bubulo East MP and Uganda’s Special Envoy to Somalia, Simon Mulongo, has announced his intention to contest for the Bubulo East Parliamentary seat.
Mulongo revealed that many constituents had approached him, expressing dissatisfaction with their current representation. He emphasized the need to restore the district’s reputation by electing capable leaders and urged the public to pray for the upcoming elections.
Speaking during a church mass at Galilaya Healing Church in Bumbo on Sunday, 22nd September, 2024 where he fulfilled a Shs500,000 pledge made during last month’s fundraising, Mulongo criticized the current leadership.
He argued that many leaders have neglected their duties, prioritizing trivialities that tarnish the district’s image. He called for trustworthy leadership, adding that those incapable should channel their energy elsewhere.
Mulongo will face off against Amos Masibo, Sakwa George, and the incumbent, John Musila, in the upcoming elections.
