National Unity Platform SG, David Lewis Rubongoya, vehemently discredits a circulating document on social media, addressing various allegations related to party affairs, including Bobi Wine’s wife as a signatory, monthly payments to Bobi Wine, rent payments, and ownership of party headquarters land. In response, Rubongoya clarifies that Mrs. Barbie Kyagulanyi isn’t a signatory to any NUP account, Bobi Wine doesn’t earn Shs100m monthly, Chairman Nyanzi receives facilitation for his role, no rent is paid for Kamwokya premises, and accountability reports are regularly filed.
He emphasizes the transparent transfer of titles for the party’s offices at Kavule, refuting claims of ownership by individuals. The Mpuuga issue’s ongoing complexity adds unpredictable twists to the party’s narrative. Stay tuned for unfolding developments.
Robert Kyagulanyi, commonly known as Bobi Wine, is a Ugandan politician, singer, and activist. Born on February 12, 1982, in Kampala, Uganda, he rose to prominence as a musician, gaining popularity for his socially conscious lyrics.

As a political figure, Bobi Wine has been a vocal critic of the Ugandan government and its long-serving president, Yoweri Museveni. He has advocated for political change, youth empowerment, and social justice. His political journey gained momentum, leading him to announce his presidential candidacy in the 2021 Ugandan general elections.
Bobi Wine’s political aspirations faced challenges, including arrests and allegations of government persecution. Despite these obstacles, he has remained a prominent figure in Ugandan politics, inspiring a significant following. His bid for the presidency marked a significant moment in Ugandan politics, reflecting the desire for change among the younger generation.
