Ssemujju Nganda started his consultation by meeting with voters from the communities surrounding his Bukesa home. The voters poured into Ssemujju’s compound donning the red ribbon a symbol for the opposition against the lifting of the presidential age limit while one group drove a red colored car. They hailed their representative in the Parliament for successfully commanding fellow legislators in the failed attempt to block a private member’s motion that was meant to officially kick-start the debate on lifting the age limit.

They offered him several gifts. “For us, as voters of Kira Municipality, we appreciate what he did.” “It is very necessary because they are very few in the Parliament, that’s what they were supposed to do and these that’s the language they hear.” “We are going to use anything red that symbolizes our struggle of TOGIKWATAKO whether it is a red cap, a red knicker, a red petticoat, red lipstick, anything red that someone can afford.” This was the first time Ssemujju Nganda made a public interface with his voters following a Parliamentary scuffle that left legislators injured. The legislator vowed not to pick the 20 million shillings earmarked to each legislator to consult the electorate on the controversial Constitutional amendment. “We have said so and we will not take this money because we don’t want to be bribed. He can continue bribing those individual NRM individuals. Do they mean that I have never consulted and now they have to give me some special package for me to go and consult? They are looking for a way of packaging what ordinarily should be a bribe. Museveni is bribing MPs but he is looking for ways of sanitizing a bribe and we can’t be part of that experiment.” Said, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda – MP, Kira Municipality (FDC).

Ssemujju also met a team of youths who have launched a manhunt for Abdallah Kitata and other members of Boda-boda 2010 group accused of assaulting the Opposition supporters. “For us in Kira, we are more than ready to treat them in the way which we can afford. If they come in such a way, we are ready to battle with them.”
