Former MP John Ssimbwa: Rwabwogo Must Answer Gen Muhoozi’s Questions, Not Hide Behind Religion or Poor Parentage
Former Makindye East MP John Ssimbwa has called on Odrek Rwabwogo to directly address the serious questions raised by Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, rather than deflecting into emotional arguments about religion or his humble upbringing.
Speaking on BBS Terefayina’s popular talk show Zimba Ensi Yo, Ssimbwa argued that the allegations against Rwabwogo—who chairs the Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development (PACEID)—require substantive answers, not appeals to faith or background.
“Rwabwogo should answer the questions raised by Gen Muhoozi,” Ssimbwa demanded, criticizing attempts to “hide behind emotional issues like religion and poor parentage.” The former legislator stressed that public accountability cannot be sidestepped using personal narratives.
Ssimbwa highlighted key issues involving State House operations, parliamentary inquiries, business dealings linked to South Sudan, and the necessity of respecting court processes. He urged that allegations surrounding PACEID’s legal standing, alleged corruption, and disputed financial claims be met head-on.
His remarks follow a sharp escalation in the public feud between Gen Muhoozi and his brother-in-law. Gen Muhoozi recently declared PACEID an illegal entity, threatened to arrest its officials, confirmed the detention of Rwabwogo’s aide Matthew Bagonza, and moved to block related government payments.
Rwabwogo has consistently denied the corruption allegations, dismissing them as malicious distractions. He maintains that PACEID was legally established by President Yoweri Museveni—the only authority empowered to disband it—while frequently citing his Christian faith and modest upbringing as a peasant’s son to defend his integrity.
Ssimbwa’s intervention on the Buganda Kingdom-owned television station shifts the focus back to factual accountability amid the escalating high-profile standoff.
