The hard talking media practitioner Charles James Senkubuge has shook the political walls of Kampala city after he revealed interests to run for city’s top seat in the 2021 election.
Senkubuge famously known as Siasa expressed his interests on Monday in the ewe morning hours on his social media platform.
The highly gifted Senkubuge said his special call is to clean up the mess and make Kampalans wear a smile.
“My special call to Kampala city has always been to make you people smile trying to make you forget the suffering around us while educating you and arming you the best future,” he said.
The former presidential candidate is optimistic that Kampala needs a new face with new ideas to improve livelihoods.
“In a same way of changing lives for the best, I’m offering myself for Lord Mayorship as my final attempt to bring you real happiness and joy which I hope to attain by cleaning the mess around us.” Read excerpts of the statement.
He pledges to create a self sustaining and well physically planned city which will accommodate all persons.
“…where all plans will be devised to make possible for all to work in the city without being chased like criminals,” pledges sympathetic Senkubuge. He added; “this is our city let’s enjoy it.”
Senkubuge is fronted by Uganda’s oldest Democratic Party – DP and is to be nominated today at Ntinda Electoral Commission offices at 2PM.
DP says he is a different brand that cannot be defeated by anyone.
