Africa-Press – Uganda. Nakaseke South Member of Parliament Paulson Luttamaguzi Ssemakula has urged Ugandans and state security agencies to embrace a new era of political accountability and citizen empowerment as the country heads towards the 2026 general presidential and parliamentary elections.
Speaking during Sanyuka One on One on Thursday, Luttamaguzi, a staunch member of the National Unity Platform (NUP), praised party leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu popularly known as Bobi Wine for reshaping Uganda’s political landscape and awakening civic consciousness across the country.
“Kyagulanyi has introduced a kind of politics that is not ordinary. People have now realised that politics, especially in Parliament, has become a business — many join just to make money. But Kyagulanyi has awakened the citizens,” Luttamaguzi said.
Luttamaguzi further argued that Uganda has reached a critical turning point, where power is increasingly maintained through force rather than democratic engagement.
“Every regime reaches a point where survival depends on coercion,” he said.
In his message to Uganda’s security forces, the outspoken legislator urged restraint and independence, insisting that political change is inevitable and must not be resisted through intimidation or violence.
“To our officers in uniform do not allow yourselves to be used. All these things happening will eventually come to an end.”
Calling for a peaceful and transparent campaign environment ahead of upcoming electoral activities, Luttamaguzi emphasised that Ugandans are ready for meaningful change, not mere political gestures.
“The situation we are in today calls for a political shift. If the government truly decides to let campaigns happen peacefully, they can because Ugandans are tired of the current state of affairs.”
“Are Ugandans prepared for the message, or just for handouts? What real gains are we safeguarding?,” he questioned, challenging voters to prioritise leading reforms over short-term personal gain.
