Nabilah Naggayi Sempala, a former Kampala Capital City Woman Member of Parliament, and Award-Winning Novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija had a heated exchange of words after Nabilah claimed that the opposition is full of leaders who dine with the ruling regime.
Through his known Twitter handle, Nabilah, who was for years accused of being a spy in Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) said,
“Citizens have unknowingly created and facilitated a powerful political cartel.” “It’s influential, rich, highly connected, and operates across party lines; it has media, militias, and international handlers/lobbyists—they enjoy their empire due to Uganda’s degraded civic consciousness!”
In response, Kakwenza accused Nabilah of belonging to the “powerful political cartel” hence the reason she ran away from FDC.
“You were part of it while hiding in FDC. Then you were known, and ran to NUP and got rejected. The accumulated debts and fleeing to Canada is a comeuppance of being useless to the rich cartel because you had been undressed and everyone knew your spying role in opposition,” said Kakwenza in a tweet.
Nabilah was moved by his response, and she went bare-knuckled as she accused Kakwenza of abusing women.
“So you’re still using and abusing women like you used to!” I know fathering children and abandoning them with their mothers is a favorite pastime of yours! “As a refugee in Germany, your sexism and misogyny taint your profile as a human rights activist!” Nabilah said.
Kakwenza was involved in an outrageous sex scandal last year. Another self-exiled government critic and Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) member, Stella Nyanzi, satirically posted on Facebook about her married friend’s unprotected sex affairs with other women who are not his wife. Stella’s post was the catalyst for the horrifying revelation of Kakwenza’s sexual affairs.
Later, Anne Whitehead, a UK-based communication expert, revealed that she had obtained confessions from numerous victims of Kakwenza’s sexual abuse and exploitation.
