Ft. Captain Michael Mukula has launched his campaign for National Vice Chairman of the National Resistance Movement for the Eastern Region and cautioned his party leaders against engaging in monetary politics during the campaigns.
Speaking to the media from his Mutungo offices in Kampala yesterday, Capt. Mukula urged NRM leaders to steer clear of monetizing politics.
He emphasized that a monetized political system poses a significant threat to any nation, undermining the democratic principles.
He warned that if politics becomes monetized, the NRM risks transforming into a party dominated by those with financial influence, where individuals negotiate their way to power by buying votes and ballot papers. Mr. Mukula stated that the position of NRM Vice Chairperson requires seasoned and experienced leaders due to its sensitive nature and the critical role it plays in the party’s central executive committee.
