Mpuuga, Sseggona and Basalirwa Show Solidarity with Detained MP

Hon. Mathias Mpuuga, Hon. Medard Lubega Sseggona and Hon. Asuman Basalirwa visited Butambala County MP, Mohammed Muwanga Kivumbi, at Kitalya Prison today, where he is being held on charges of terrorism. The visit was confirmed by the Democrat Front Party, which shared the update along with a photo from the prison.

The leaders’ visit has drawn public attention, especially among supporters of the opposition. Many people see it as a strong sign of unity and support for Kivumbi during a difficult time. Being in prison while facing serious charges is not easy, and such visits often give emotional strength to those detained.

Hon. Mathias Mpuuga, who has been a vocal political figure, appeared calm and firm during the visit. His presence, together with Sseggona and Basalirwa, sent a message that Kivumbi is not alone. The three leaders are known for standing up on legal and political matters, which makes their visit even more meaningful.

Hon. Medard Lubega Sseggona, a lawyer by profession, is widely respected for his legal knowledge. His involvement in the visit suggests concern about the legal process Kivumbi is going through. Supporters believe he may also be following the case closely from a legal point of view.

Hon. Asuman Basalirwa, who is also known for his legal and parliamentary work, joined the visit in what many describe as a gesture of solidarity. His presence highlighted the seriousness of the situation and the need, according to some observers, for fairness and justice.

Kivumbi’s detention on terrorism charges has sparked debate in political circles. Some people believe the law should take its course, while others feel that political leaders are sometimes targeted because of their views. This has made the case a topic of discussion both in Parliament and among the public.

During such visits, leaders usually check on the health and well-being of the person in custody. Though details of their conversation were not shared, it is likely they encouraged Kivumbi to stay strong as his case continues in court.

Kitalya Prison has in recent years held several high-profile suspects, making it a known place in Uganda’s justice system. Visits from fellow leaders often attract attention and raise questions about the broader political environment.

The Democrat Front Party sharing the information publicly shows they want people to know about the visit. It also helps keep Kivumbi’s situation in the public eye, which can influence how the public understands the case.

As the legal process moves forward, many will be watching closely. The visit by Mpuuga, Sseggona, and Basalirwa may not change the charges, but it clearly shows political support and concern. For now, Kivumbi remains in custody as the courts handle the matter, while his colleagues continue to stand by him.
