Museveni Actor in ‘27 Guns’ Falls on Hard Times, Seeks Financial Aid

The young man who played the role of General Yoweri Museveni in the movie 27 Guns says he wants to meet the President to ask for financial help.

The 35 year Arnold Mubangizi, a resident of Kireka in Wakiso district made the revelation while appearing on a local News Bulletin in Kampala, he said his situation needs urgent attention since he doesn’t have a job to sustain himself while also take care of ailing mother.

“Life has become incredibly difficult since I appeared in 27 Guns. I received just 10 million shillings, which I used to purchase land that I later sold to cover my mother’s medical expenses. I’ve endured considerable discrimination and struggle to find work because people assume I either have a lot of money, am a spy, or the president’s child from outside,” he expressed.

He confessed to having contemplated suicide due to the overwhelming pressure he experienced.

Mubangizi also recalled an incident at a football pitch in Kireka where two men assaulted him, attempting to strangle him.

He was beaten and left with head injuries, all allegedly due to his involvement in the film. This event caused his mother to suffer a stroke, and she is now bedridden with no assistance.

The actor noted that he has sought regular employment, but whenever he is recognized, the discrimination begins, forcing him to quit.

This story seems to have captured the attention of The Chief of Defense Forces,

Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba expressed concern over how this young man could be enduring such severe poverty.

Muhoozi stated that before he steps away from X for an extended period, he intended to address this matter.

“Before I turn off the tap for a long time, I must help one last person. The young man who portrayed my father in 27 Guns. I read somewhere that he is suffering. How can that be? I hereby instruct my office to assist him immediately!” The General’s tweet/post stated
