Bukomansimbi District Woman MP, Veronica Nanyondo, has turned a signature into a sideshow. The motion for the removal of Commissioners and the subsequent withdrawal of her signature have left many scratching their heads, wondering if they’ve stumbled into a theater play rather than a serious parliamentary affair.
Several opposition MPs wasted no time in roasting Nanyondo over the fire of her own making. They accused her of trying to pull a fast one by claiming she was duped into scribbling her name on a censure motion, when in reality, she thought it was just a mundane attendance sheet for yet another opposition gathering.
Joel Ssenyonyi, the Leader of Opposition, couldn’t resist taking a jab at Nanyondo’s incredible tale. He pointed out the sheer absurdity of her claim, reminding everyone that she’s not even a member of the Shadow Cabinet, where supposedly this attendance list belonged. And seriously, who records attendance on a random piece of paper in this day and age? It’s more likely they’d scribble it down in some ancient book gathering dust in a corner.
Nanyondo, in a move that surprised absolutely no one at this point, penned a letter to the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, pleading for mercy and begging to retract her signature faster than a thief fleeing a market stall. It seems she’s had a sudden change of heart, or perhaps a sudden realization of the consequences of her actions. Her fellow MPs are probably eyeing her like a fox eyes a chicken coop, wondering if she can even read what she’s signing.
Meanwhile, Theodore Ssekikubo, the Lwemiyaga County legislator, couldn’t resist throwing some shade at his Bukomansimbi District colleague. He called out Nanyondo for her apparent inability to tell the difference between a censure motion and a grocery list, much to the delight of political pundits and armchair critics alike.
Her own constituents in Bukomansimb, like an unforgiving audience are also lashing out at their representative, questioning her ability to read simple documents and are already sharpening their memories for the next election.
It’s clear that Nanyondo’s blunder has become the talk of the town and come the 2026 general elections, the people of Bukomansimbi will have a name to remember, for better or for worse.
