Namisindwa — Allegations of corruption have rocked the National Resistance Movement (NRM) structures in Namisindwa District after a local party official accused two senior NRM figures of accepting a multi-million-shilling bribe and then failing to deliver on a promised appointment.
In an open letter dated 27 July 2026 addressed to the ONC District Coordinator, Namisindwa, Mabuka Ivan, the ONC Secretary for Bukhabusi Sub-County, claims that District NRM Registrar Mr Kikuyi Richard and Acting Administrator Mr Wepukhulu Zebuteki convinced Mr Wanasolo Kevin of Bukhabusi Sub-County to pay them 3,500,000 shillings (Three million five hundred thousand shillings).
According to the letter, the two officials allegedly promised Wanasolo the position of Sub-County Registrar for Bukhabusi. After receiving the money, they “went silent” and did not deliver the job.
Additional details accompanying the complaint state that the officials also provided a forged stamp through a third party (described as “a boy”) in an apparent attempt to convince Wanasolo that the process was legitimate, before ultimately refusing to appoint him.
Mabuka’s letter appeals to the District ONC Coordinator to intervene and help the complainant recover the money. He frames the request as consistent with President Museveni’s stated policy of “Kisano no sleep” and zero tolerance for corruption.
The letter was copied to several offices, including:
NRM Chairperson, Namisindwa District
DISO, Namisindwa District
National ONC Coordinator, Kampala
The NRM Secretariat, Kampala
OC, Bukhabusi Police Post
GISO, Bukhabusi Sub-County
At the time of writing, neither Mr Kikuyi Richard nor Mr Wepukhulu Zebuteki had publicly responded to the allegations. The NRM Secretariat and police in Bukhabusi had also not issued any official statement.
The complaint has intensified calls for the party’s internal integrity mechanisms and the police to investigate the claims thoroughly, recover any funds found to have been illegally obtained, and take appropriate disciplinary or legal action if the allegations are substantiated.
The full text of the open letter is reproduced below for the public record.
