Mpuuga Vows To Drag Bobi Wine, MP Ssewanyana To Court Over Masaka Machete Murders

Nyendo-Mukungwe Member of Parliament Mathias Mpuuga has issued a stern warning to National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, and fellow legislator Allan Ssewanyana, over allegations linking him to the 2021 arrest of two MPs in connection with the Masaka killings.

Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, Bobi Wine claimed that the late MP Muhammad Ssegirinya had confided in him that Mpuuga played a role in orchestrating their arrest. He then turned to Ssewanyana, who appeared to support the claim.

Ssewanyana and Ssegirinya were arrested in 2021 over a string of gruesome murders in the Greater Masaka region. The arrest marked the beginning of Ssegirinya’s health decline, which eventually led to his death earlier this year.

In a sharp rebuttal issued the following day, Mpuuga dismissed the allegations as baseless and defamatory. He accused his accusers of attempting to distort the painful past that many of them endured.

“These statements are not just false they are defamatory. If no apology and retraction are made, I will be left with no option but to take legal action,” Mpuuga declared.

He also criticized individuals he claims only showed superficial support during Ssegirinya’s illness. “While his family stood by him, others simply visited to collect allowances or to pose for photos. It’s a sad reality we must confront,” he added.

The controversy emerges as Bobi Wine’s bodyguard, Edward Ssebufu (also known as Eddie Mutwe), faces legal proceedings in Masaka over charges including aggravated robbery and malicious property damage. This is the same court where Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana were initially charged in relation to the Masaka massacre.
