Walukaga Claps Back at Critics Questioning His English

Musician-turned-politician Mathias Walukaga is making waves in Ugandan politics.

He currently serves as the mayor of Kyengera Town Council under the National Unity Platform and has now been chosen to run for the parliamentary seat in Busiro East.

The race has drawn a lot of attention, with his main rival being Hon. Medard Lubega Sseggona.

Many are watching closely to see how the contest unfolds ahead of the 2026 elections.

Some critics have questioned Walukaga’s English skills, suggesting they could be a challenge in Parliament.

But in a recent interview with Sanyuka Uncut, he reassured the public that he fully understands the language used in Parliament and is ready to represent his constituents effectively.

Walukaga has promised to put the people of Busiro East first.

He said he will work hard to address their needs and ensure their voices are heard.

Many people say I do not know English just because I sing in Luganda. But that does not mean I cannot speak English. I fully understand the language used in Parliament. The NUP card was given to me because of my popularity and my ability to connect with the people. I promise that once I win this election, I will faithfully serve the people of Busiro East, just as I have always pledged.
