A verbal war has erupted between lawyer and politician Hon Asuman and Kiyinji and the Chairman of the MUBS council, Prof Venansius Baryamureeba over MUBS leadership.
In his facebook post, Hon. Asuman Kiyingi accused a former Presidential aspirant of a “Classic Sectarianism.”
This is a classic of sectarianism.The president wants professor Balunywa re-appointed as MUBS principal but a scheming Baryamureeba exploiting his and religious networks is fighting to grab the job.Balunywa’s stellar performance record seems a secondary matter.He suffers the double tragedy of being a Musoga and a Muslim at the same time in a system that looks down upon both. I have recently been a victim of similar ethnic and religious forces though in my Cass it was compounded by Busoga’s PhD politics. I hope this time round the President prevails over these sectarian forces holding him hostage.
Prof. Baryamureeba couldn’t let this rant go unnoticed and launched a scarthing attack labeling Hon Kiyinji “stupid”. Below is his Facebook post;
Ashman Kiyingi. You have not disputed the fact that in writing on March 5, 2018 I recommended Prof. Balunywa for reappointment and this letter was copied to him(Prof.Balunywa). I did this well knowing that for all Public CEO positions like for Principal MUBS there is a requirement that they should be Publically advertised so that there is transparency and fairness and all eligible Ugandans should be accorded an opportunity to apply and then allowed fair competition. But still recommended him for reapportionment any way as long as he met the Eligibility criteria . Mind you I did this without calling a MUBS Council meeting I.e I did it on behalf of MUBS Council. So who are your credible sources? Prof.Balunywa fanatics, tribesmates or supporters? If you were not Muslim I would have asked you what alcohol you had taken that influenced your writeup.
Some of us are beyond stupid lobbying that involves character assassination of innocent Ugandans. Hon.Asuman Kiyingi, your submission after my submission puts you under stupid Ugandans. Let me now assure you that as long as I live, I shall never be stupid or support the breaking of the law of Uganda I love so dearly. Either the law is on side or it’s not. So go on with your stupidity until we cross our path again. Lastly don’t expect any other public response from me, but remember going forward I shall execute my duties as a chairperson of MUBS Council without fear or favor. For God and my Country.
Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba PhD. Chairperson MUBS Council.
We await to see if this cyber war will take a turn of events. We shall keep you posted.
