“Wama, Even Your Road Is Very Bad & No One Cares” Museveni Responds As Rubaga Crowd Branded Their NUP MP ‘Useless’

During a recent visit to Rubaga South, President Yoweri Museveni encountered an unexpected moment when local residents openly criticized their area Member of Parliament, calling him “useless.” The outburst, which quickly gained traction on social media, revealed deep-rooted dissatisfaction with local leadership and service delivery.

As Museveni addressed the gathering and asked who their MP was, many in the crowd responded with jeers, claiming they either didn’t know him or that he had done nothing for their constituency. Some even demanded his removal from office. The MP in question is Aloysius Mukasa TG, a National Unity Platform (NUP) representative and known advocate of the People Power movement. He currently serves in the 2021–2026 Parliament.

Rather than responding with anger, President Museveni chuckled and made a pointed remark:
“Wama, even your road is very bad and no one says anything.”
His sarcastic comment drew laughter and cheers from the crowd but also underscored a serious issue—deteriorating infrastructure and a widening gap between elected officials and the citizens they serve.

The exchange was captured and posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Nelson Bwire Kapo, a former State House editor at Daily Monitor and now an online editor for State House. The video has since sparked widespread debate, with many Ugandans saying it reflects their own frustrations in various parts of the country—leaders who make lofty promises but fail to deliver meaningful results.

While Museveni’s remark was laced with humor, it brought attention to a deeper concern: a growing sense of neglect among communities and the perceived failure of some MPs to fulfill their mandates. The incident has fueled broader discussions about accountability, representation, and the real impact of political leadership in Uganda.

With the 2026 general elections on the horizon, such public expressions of discontent are likely to increase, as citizens push for better services and more effective governance.
