Dr Muganga, with respect, your response is doing too much of the wrong work and not enough of the right work.
The facts on record are these. You openly hold Ugandan and Canadian citizenship. You acknowledged this yourself, both in writing and to the press. Documents going around show you only registered for Ugandan citizenship on November 8, 2024, and received your Ugandan passport on February 26, 2026, a few weeks before your nomination.
A formal petition was filed by lawyer Deric Namakajo on May 28th, citing public record. Parliamentโs committee verified the citizenship issue with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found you had not completed renunciation of your Canadian citizenship in time.
The other nominees who had similar issues completed the renunciation process before vetting. You did not. That is the actual reason for the rejection, and it is documented.
So why are you playing the Banyarwanda card so much here?
If the rejection was about your tribe, fellow Banyarwanda nominees like Hon. Aisha Ssekindi and Hon. Dianah Mutasingwa would not have been approved in this same parliament. They were. They are Banyarwanda and Ugandans. Your story keeps shifting from procedural ineligibility to ethnic victimhood, and it is becoming difficult to take the second framing seriously when the first is so clearly documented.
The other question worth asking, and one you have not addressed publicly, is the timing. How does a man who was naturalised onto the Ugandan passport in February 2026 end up nominated three months later to head the very ministry that oversees citizenship, immigration, and national identification?
You should understand why this is a legitimate question for any sensitive docket. Stop obsessing about Banyarwanda persecution when the substance of the case has nothing to do with your tribe and everything to do with whether you completed the renunciation process the law requires. Address that. The rest is a distraction, and a dangerous one. You donโt want to continue on that road as it puts other Banyarwanda at risk. You should know this, surely.
@KagutaMuseveni We would like to know why you keep appointing people who have severally been implicated in corruption scandals yet you claim to be fighting corruption. Someone steals iron sheets meant for poor people in karamoja to roof a pig sty but still you appoint him as your minister!!!!!
.@BalaamBarugahar : โThere are workers who have served in public office for 20 years in the same district. There should be a rotation of such officials, just as it is done for ministers, so that we can break the chain of corruption in local government.โ
