Uganda’s political stage is never short of drama, and the latest tea is sizzling hot. After Rebecca Kadaga’s unexpected defeat in the NRM CEC race, Minister Balaam Barugahara has stirred conversation by suggesting that the former Speaker should ditch politics, embrace the Parish Development Model, and invest in piggery.
The comment has quickly gone viral, with many Ugandans debating whether Balaam was dishing out genuine advice or throwing subtle shade at one of the country’s most respected female politicians. For a woman who has presided over Parliament and remained a symbol of resilience in Uganda’s politics, the suggestion feels like an underhanded jab, while others see it as a reminder that even leaders can benefit from embracing grassroots economic empowerment.
Balaam, known for his bold tongue, insists that piggery is a booming venture under PDM one that has lifted families from poverty to prosperity. But for Kadaga, whose name has been tied to decades of political power, the advice has split opinion. Some supporters argue she deserves more respect, while critics say it’s time for her to reinvent herself outside the political battlefield.
Whether shade, strategy, or a mix of both, one thing is certain. Uganda’s political drama has a new chapter, and the spotlight is firmly back on Kadaga.
In Africa, politics isn’t just power; it’s reinvention, resilience, and sometimes, a little piggy gossip. 🐷🔥
