Former Rubaga Deputy RCC Burora  Forms Pressure Group – Vows to Expose Rot In NRM And At Parliament Including Anita Among

Anderson Burora, the former Deputy Resident City Commissioner for Rubaga Division, unveiled a new pressure group on Thursday to fight corruption in the ruling NRM government.

The new faction, National Resistance Movement in Resistance (NRM-IR), is a splinter group from the mainstream National Resistance Movement (NRM). During a Kampala press conference, Burora expressed concerns about corruption, which he believes the current leadership inadequately addresses.He emphasized that NRM traditionally opposes corruption, yet graft and abuse of power persist under its governance.

“Our children can’t fail to attend school due to lack of infrastructure when leaders share money meant for their education,” he said.

“We can’t lack proper infrastructure because leaders invest in their hospitals and schools while public facilities are redundant. Today, we say no to corruption because the NRM has become synonymous with corruption, but not everyone in the party is corrupt. Only a handful of leaders in key positions tarnish the party’s name.”

Burora has been at odds with Parliament’s leadership under Speaker Anita Among, which faced fierce corruption accusations weeks ago. After attacking the speaker, Burora was summoned by the Office of the President for questioning and later interdicted pending further inquiries. He quit the RCC’s office altogether.

The NRM-IR leader called on NRM members and the public to join his movement against corruption. He appealed to the youth, or ‘Bazzukulu’, to support this cause, asserting a need to challenge the status quo and restore leadership integrity.Burora also called for the resignation of Inspector General of Government Betty Kamya, accusing her of failing to effectively tackle corruption.

He questioned her persistent complaints without taking substantial action.Similarly, he raised concerns about the auditor general’s silence and possible complicity in corruption scandals, questioning the effectiveness of governmental audits and accountability mechanisms.

Burora criticized Parliament for its lack of self-audit and accountability, pointing out the irony in expecting the legislative body to oversee other departments effectively. He argued that such practices undermine governmental oversight integrity and contribute to a culture of impunity.

Addressing protest methods, Burora declared that NRM-IR’s actions would not disrupt public streets but focus on personal demonstrations at locations closely associated with corrupt leaders, including their homes, churches, and even funerals.
