The Kabale LCV Chairperson Nelson
Nshangabasheija is on the spot for disrespecting Flavia Nyinakiiza Kanagyizi, the District Speaker.
During the climax of the 2024 Kabale Diocese’s Bishop Annual
Appeal Fund (BAFF) function, which was held on January 11, at Our Lady of
Good Shepherd Rushoroza Cathedral Parish in Kabale municipality,
Nshangabasheija took to the podium and condemned Kanagyizi for failing him.
Nshangabasheija angrily told Christians and clergy that Kanagyizi was the one
suffocating the approval of the District Service Commission members. He asked Henry Ariganyira Musasizi, the
Minister of State for Finance, Planning and Economic Development (General
Duties), and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi, the Minister of Information, Communications
Technology, and National Guidance, who were present at the function, to help
him report his feud with Kanagyizi to President Yoweri Museveni.
//Cue in: “Ijweriho mbeire nyine...
Cue out: ...mumeisho nabatuma.”
However, Nshangabasheija’s utterances have left a section of
voters questioning his motives. Aggrey Kamugisha, a 62-year-old voter from
Rwanyakakyende village in Kahondo parish, Maziba sub-county, says that
Nshangabasheija made a grave mistake by uttering such statements about
Kanagyizi while at the altar because it instils division based on religion.
According to Kamugisha, as a leader, Nshangabasheija should always use church
space to unite people, as the church preaches love and unity, not conflict.
//Cue in: “Chairman nkomwebembezi...
Cue out: ...mu kerezia.”
Andrew Niwandiinda, a voter from Katookyi village in Rubira
parish, Kyanamira sub-county, says that Nshangabasheija’s utterances against
Kanagyizi are unfortunate because he exposed the feud in the wrong place.
//Cue in: “Chairman akaba Nashwa...
Cue out: ...kuba atariho.”
Pakarasio Amanige, a voter from Kanyankwanzi village,
Bukoora parish, Kitumba sub-county, and George Tekateka, Kitumba sub-county
speaker, say that it is inappropriate for Nshangabasheija to expose his feud
with Kanagyizi. They add that
such utterances, while in church, create religious conflict. They want
Nshangabasheija to apologize to Kanagyizi.
//Cue in: “Nobu ndaabe ndagambira...
Cue out: ...twabeire tugyendereire.”
Junior Ayebare and Bernard Kamwebaze Ssalongo, other voters
from Kabale municipality, say that Nshangabasheija should apologize to
Kanagyizi for using cheap popularity to tarnish her reputation. They say that
it is the role of Nshangabasheija, as the chairman, to promote unity in the
district.
//Cue in: “Ndahurira kitanshemeza munonga...
Cue out: ...kubamukyirize kuteisa.”
Kanagyizi says that she will
hold a press conference and talk about the matter in detail.
The council session held on December 19, 2024, ended
prematurely after Nshangabasheija almost slapped Kanagyizi. This incident
occurred after Nshangabasheija presented Bernard Tumukunde as the Chairman of
the District Service Commission, along with Jaqueline Njuyarwo and Rev. Peace
Ndyamuhaki, as well as copies of their credentials for approval.
However,
Kanagyizi stated that the approval should be halted until councillors could
first scrutinize the credentials of the members.
