Kafuda Boaz Vows Comeback, Blasts Incumbent Over Failed Services in Busongora South

Moments after being officially nominated at the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Electoral Commission offices in Kampala, former Member of Parliament for Busongora County South, Hon. Kafuda Boaz, declared his renewed bid to return to Parliament, vowing to reclaim the development agenda he believes has stalled under the current leadership.

In an impassioned address, Kafuda, who previously represented the South Kasese constituency, expressed deep frustration over what he described as a total failure by the incumbent to advance critical infrastructure projects that had been initiated during his tenure. “I left key projects in the pipeline. Unfortunately, the current MP has completely failed to follow through,” he said, pointing specifically to the persistent lack of clean water in the constituency. “We had worked hard to secure water for our people, but there has been no effort to lobby or finalize that initiative,” he added, his voice tinged with both disappointment and resolve.

Electricity coverage, another major concern, was also at the heart of Kafuda’s criticism. He recounted efforts made in 2016 to lobby for rural electrification, which resulted in the installation of power poles across several areas. However, he claimed that many of these poles remain standing without power lines or transformers, leaving entire communities still in the dark nearly a decade later. “Some areas were supposed to be connected, but even now, they remain untouched. The energy project I initiated has been left to waste,” he lamented.

Turning to education, the former legislator outlined his earlier ambition to establish six secondary schools—one for each sub-county within the constituency. That vision, he claimed, has seen no meaningful progress. “We are still struggling with education in Busongora South,” he said. “The current leadership has done nothing to follow up on the groundwork I laid. It’s not just disappointing—it’s unacceptable.”

Kafuda emphasized that his comeback is driven not by political ambition but by a sense of duty to restore momentum to Busongora South’s development. “I’ve returned to push hard, to extend services closer to the people, and to bridge the gap in service delivery,” he asserted. “Our people deserve better—better roads, better schools, reliable water, and consistent electricity. That’s what I intend to deliver.”

His remarks resonated with supporters gathered outside the nomination center, many of whom echoed his sentiments about stalled progress in the region. As the campaign season intensifies, Kafuda’s message is expected to strike a chord with voters who feel left behind and eager for tangible change.
