Serious divisions are emerging from the ongoing battles for power and money between wealthy forces in the MK movement turned Patriotic League Of Uganda (PLU) , a political pressure group formed to drum up support for the First Son, who is also the president’s top adviser on special operations. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba if he becomes the next president.
According to insider sources, the MK Army under the command of renowned organizer Balaam Bagaruhara Atenyi and the chairman of the group led by General Muhoozi’s uncle, Michael Nuwagira alias Toyota, are engaged in a bitter battle for his attention, the top leader.
According to sources, Baraza organized by Balaam and other supporters of the MK movement in Western Uganda at Bwizibwera in Kashari in January this year , Mbarara was the turning point in the conflict between the two parties.The Balaam team approached several artists to perform at the event but Patrick Mulwana aka Alien Skin, Moses Ssali aka Bebe Cool, Sister Charity and Raster Charz were the first choice.
They even used them in commercials aired on Mbarara radio stations. Event organizers were surprised that the only people providing entertainment were Sister Charity and Raster Charz. Sources within the MK movement confirmed to this website that the president of Team Camp had prevented Alien Skin from attending the Balaam performance, promising the money he was paid for not appearing at the performance , to double.
“Balaam’s team gave Alien Skin 15 million for the performance.Surprisingly, the other faction doubled the money and gave him 30 million for not acting. When the money was sent to Alien Skin, he stopped in Masaka, switched off his phone and returned to Kampala. He later returned the 15 million to Balaam,” an MK movement source told the Grapevine.
According to sources, Skin initially rejected the offer but accepted it after receiving double the offer. After receiving the money, he left Masaka and stopped talking to anyone in Kashari.According to sources, after Balaam attended a football match between MK Movement supporters from Ankole and Tooro, a group of angry supporters, incited by some miscreants sent to wreak havoc, tried to point their firearms at him and threatened to kill him kill. They argued because they believed that they would receive some gifts after the game.
However, they were informed that it was only a small competition and that what had just taken place was a semi-final. In addition, they were informed that prizes would be awarded to the teams that participate and win the final. Sources close to Balaam’s camp claim that Toyata’s supporters are trying to ruin them financially in order to undermine their grassroots political mobilization in favor of the general.Muhoozi.
According to sources, Balaam decided to use his own resources to continue the nationwide mobilization operation after being identified and tasked by General Muhoozi. According to the source, Muhoozi was recently informed that some of his group members were damaging their reputations by asking others for money.
This is the reason MK Movement spokesperson Andrew Mwenda warned the public in a statement not to provide money to anyone pretending to be carrying out orders from Gen. Muhoozi.Although Balaam was unfazed by the accusations, sources claimed that several members of his entourage are being looked into by the Movement’s disciplinary committee, which is led by Michael Mawanda Maranga.
The Kampala Voice was further informed by Movement sources that there is a covert effort underway to persuade Gen. Muhoozi to remove Mwenda, whom they accuse of being pro-homosexual to the point where he was one of the individuals who petitioned the Constitutional Court to declare the law that was passed by parliament and signed by President Museveni to be unconstitutional.
Members of the MK Movement also fight because of the competition for attractive, curvaceous women. From its inception, MK Movement has had a reputation of attracting some of the most beautiful, bummy girls. This has led to fights among men on how the women should be shared. This has in turn fueled divisions and fights.
