Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze Bakireke is set to be airlifted to the US where she will receive further medical treatment.

Nambooze was hospitalized after she slid and fell on the stairs at her home, sustaining injuries. She is admitted to Rubaga Hospital.

However, the MP has been nursing back and chest pains for a while. In 2018, she went to India for treatment, and since then she has been walking on crutches.

According to the New Vision, the Clerk to Parliament, Adolf Mwesige, confirmed that Nambooze will be flown to the USA for specialized treatment.

“We have finalized arrangements to airlift her to the US for treatment. She is our member, entitled (to special medical treatment) and she is sick,” said Mwesigye.

However, the public has expressed mixed views about airlifting Nambooze.

Below are some of the reactions;

Was @Nambooze_B_B the one that stopped @GovUganda from building Lubowa hospital.

Hon. @Nambooze_B_B has always stood with the people and voiced excesses about the regime.
She authored the minority report on the Lubowa project.
She deserves this and more from a regime that maimed her. https://t.co/Wzu1NsxoRh

@NUP_Ug , People Power & well-wishers were of the view that why @JacobOulanyah is receiving treatment in the US yet he & his @NRMOnline Govt have failed to build a sensible healthcare system in Ug

Unless you want to tell me that @Nambooze_B_B joined the ruling Govt this morning! https://t.co/4fWiUuZaEW

The problem is not airlifting Nambooze for further medication but the problem is the poor Uganda Health sector

— Kigozi Mac Carter (@MacCarter256) June 12, 2022

Nambooze is entitled to any allowances like anyother serving MP but Ugandans should understand this,Her point was if a billion spent on one individual was used to put medicine, equipments in hospitals,no Ugandan would be Ugandans must learn to reason to understand her.

@Nambooze_B_B has never been part of the rotten system that embezzles hospital funds.
So let her go to for treatment in peace,we will pray for her ,we won't demonstrate and i promise she will come back a live and this she will be appointment commissioner of parliament

— The clan chief?? (@rukjim1) June 12, 2022

Hon Nambooze criticizes regime to improve healthcare system in Uganda while Olaunya was praising Gen m7 for doing well and improving health care. You should differentiate between the two.

However, it's sad that a lawyer like Mao u didn't get why pple demonstrated in USA!

— Edward Mayega (@EdwardMayega) June 13, 2022

How things change so fast. When the late speaker was flown to the US it was almost an abomination, when it's Hon. Nambooze, it's hush, naye abantu bawano bazibu?
