A fresh political storm has erupted within the National Resistance Movement (NRM) after Kasambya County Member of Parliament Daudi Kabanda launched another strong attack against presidential adviser Odrek Rwabwogo, who is also President Yoweri Museveni’s son-in-law.
Kabanda has vowed not to withdraw his criticism of Rwabwogo, saying that nothing can stop him from speaking out except death.
The outspoken legislator made the remarks while responding to claims that Rwabwogo had sought President Museveni’s intervention over his continued criticism and social media posts.
Kabanda alleged that Rwabwogo presented some of his statements to President Museveni and asked the President to publicly distance himself from him by describing him negatively.
According to Kabanda, the move was aimed at damaging his reputation among voters and weakening his political influence.
He, however, dismissed the alleged efforts, saying he would not be intimidated or silenced because of his criticism of powerful individuals.
“What can actually stop me from talking about the thieves like him is DEATH nothing else,” Kabanda said in a statement.
The MP also defended his political record, arguing that despite criticism from some individuals, he has contributed to the success of the NRM in his area.
He claimed that he helped the party secure strong support in Mubende during elections despite having limited resources.
Kabanda challenged President Museveni to focus on allegations he has raised against Rwabwogo instead of responding to political disagreements between the two leaders.
He accused Rwabwogo of issues including corruption and land-related controversies, although such allegations remain disputed.
The exchange between the two NRM figures has attracted attention because both are connected to the ruling party and have previously held influential positions within political circles.
The disagreement reportedly began after Kabanda started making public comments targeting Rwabwogo through social media and other platforms.
Kabanda previously described Rwabwogo as a major opponent of certain political interests within the NRM and questioned some of his actions.
He also raised concerns about Rwabwogo’s involvement in different political matters, including his engagement with other public figures.
Rwabwogo has not directly responded to Kabanda’s accusations but has continued making public statements about issues affecting the country.
In his recent speeches, Rwabwogo has emphasized the need to fight corruption, address election challenges, and improve leadership standards.
He has also called for unity within the NRM, warning that internal conflicts and dishonesty could weaken the party’s future.
The dispute has reportedly attracted the attention of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is said to have advised Kabanda against continuing attacks on Rwabwogo.
Rwabwogo’s close relationship with the First Family has added more attention to the disagreement, with political observers closely watching developments.
Kabanda, however, insists that he will continue speaking out on issues he believes are important, regardless of the individuals involved.
He has maintained that fear will not prevent him from expressing his views and holding leaders accountable.
The public exchange has opened wider discussions about disagreements within the NRM and the freedom of political figures to criticize each other.
As the debate continues, both sides remain under public scrutiny, with many waiting to see whether the dispute will calm down or develop into a bigger political confrontation.
