The LC5 chairperson of Nakaseke district, Ignatius Koomu has described Uganda’s minister of Finance, Hajjiti Syda Bbumba as a blocked drinking straw.
Minister Syda Bbumba
This comes after Bbumba has declared to finance Koomu’s political rival, Edward Nsamba to unseat him. Bbumba was the first person to call Koomu a blocked straw who could no longer bring development in Nakaseke and therefore needed replacement.
Koomu says it is Bbumba who is a blocked straw and not him. Bbumba wants to replace Koomu with Nsamba, who is a primary two teacher from Bamunanika, Luweero district.
Koomu is a member of NRM but Bbumba also wants Nsamba to contest on the same party ticket.
Bbumba who has been MP for Nakaseke for three terms says Nsamba is a better replacement for Koomu. She alleges that Nakaseke performs poorly in PLE, O-Level and A-level exams because of Koomu. But Koomu is not the schools headmaster or a worker at Uganda National Examination Board.
