NEWS: Hon. David Kabanda, the General Secretary of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), faces intense criticism from within the organization, with supporters accusing him of being unfit for the top office.

Mobilizers allege that he has mismanaged his position and lacks the necessary capabilities to lead effectively.

Kabanda, a frequent television panelist, has been criticized for presenting views that lack depth and reasoning.

Moses Gumisiriza, a strong supporter of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, a PLU mobilizer in Western Uganda, and Deputy President of UB40, told our reporter that Kabanda has embarrassed PLU on TV and other platforms due to his ideological shortcomings.

Gumisiriza has called for a televised debate to confront and expose Kabanda’s deficiencies.

Isaac Tibemanya, another PLU mobilizer in Western Uganda, questioned Kabanda’s qualifications, citing them as a reason for the current issues.

“It’s perplexing and embarrassing that a senior six leaver, lacking the capacity to articulate complex ideas, leads individuals with advanced degrees, including Masters and PhDs. This undermines the value of education within our PLU organization and our country, Uganda.”

Tibemanya demands Kabanda’s immediate removal, emphasizing the need for education and intellectual rigor within the organization.

“Hon. Kabanda should pursue higher education before assuming any governance roles within PLU.” Tibemanya said.

Julius Nsaba, a PLU mobilizer in Kisoro District, raised concerns about the criteria for selecting regional coordinators.

“Hon. Kabanda has consistently appointed individuals unknown to the PLU family, overlooking dedicated mobilizers who have been with PLU for a long time.”

Despite efforts to reach him, Kabanda remained unavailable for comment.

As a Member of Parliament for Kasambya County in Mubende District, Kabanda’s limited education – completing only A’ level has raised concerns about his suitability for leadership roles.
