In January 2021, NUP’s Nsubuga Paul contested on the National Unity Platform ticket defeated Dennis Galabuzi Ssozi (NRM) in the parliamentary elections.

Nsubuga was one of the many politicians who benefited in the NUP political wave and come May, he is expected to swear in as Busiro North Member of Parliament.

However, the latest news on our desk indicates that the MP-elect could be in hot soup for reportedly stealing a ‘Kabiriti’ phone from a mobile money agent loaded with UGX 4.5 Million.

According to the Kampala Metropolitan deputy Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, they are hunting for Nsubuga to answer charges against him. Oweyesigyire confirmed the incident adding that a complaint has been filed at the police station. “He (Nsubuga) was captured on the CCTV camera stealing a phone loaded with mobile money worth Shs 4.5 million which was later withdrawn. If you happen to see the evidence, you can get convinced that he is the one,” he confirmed.

The victim claims to have reported the matter to the police but nothing has been done to date. “As I was serving him, the man (Nsubuga) entered the shop pretending to be one of our customers, holding a Nokia phone, he sat in that chair as we work upon him. We later deposited the money in his Mobile account, after he stood up and place a newspaper on the Mobile Money phone that was on the table here,” the agent said. “As I was working upon another customer, I turned around only to realize that the Mobile Money phone has been taken,” He added.

When we reached out to Nsubuga, he trashed the allegations and claimed that he was in that area because he also owns a shop along the same street where that particular mobile money agent is located. “I have never seen those ladies and I would like to meet them because many people have used all sorts of tactics to spoil my name. I have paid Shs 10 million in such claims,” He told the reporter.

Bobi Wine and other NUP officials are yet to have a say about the incident.
