The Mukono Municipality Mayor George Fred Kagimu who is also in the race for the Mukono Municipality Member of Parliament (MP) seat has refuted assassination claims against him by his opponent the incumbent MP Betty Nambooze Bakireke.
Nambooze posted on her social media platform pinning her strongest competitor Kagimu and the Mukono Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Fred Bamwiine for masterminding her assassination.
“We have survived death when we landed into an ambush by a killer masterminded by RDC Bamwiine and mayor Kagimu and one Wamala Joseph” Nambooze posted on her Facebook page
“The goons were ferried into the constituency and deployed at my remote village in Bukerere ward with stones, clubs and pangas with instructions to end my life”. She added
When Elite news contacted Kagimu on the matter, he rubbished the claims against him saying “I have no issues with Hon Nambooze and I cannot be part of the group. The claims are total lies”
When we contacted Mukono RDC Fred Bamwiine to comment on the said assassination plan against the law maker‚ he said that he denied to comment.
Kagimu revealed that this is not the first time Nambooze is telling lies against him and other people with intentions to get sympathy vote from the electorate.
“I cannot reach to that extent of killing somone because i want to became a member of parliament”. Said Kagimu.
“It is always in order for people to report assassination plans against them to the police, however, Nambooze has since then not done so”.

Luke also said that the only case at Mukono police is of a man who was badly beaten up by Nambooze’s supporters at Bukerere village in Goma division
