MP Kato Lubwama storms Bukedde over academic qualifications

Must read

Lubaga South Member of Parliament Kato Lubwama is under fire over is academic qualifications. The National Examinations body, UNEB, says the legislator miserably failed his O’levels.

Bukedde was one of the media houses that broke the story and going by his reaction, this is the last thing the comedian-turned-politician would want the public to know.

The embattled legislator yesterday stormed Vision Group offices where Bukedde TV studios and paper are found, and guess what?  He was demanding for the author of the stories about his academic qualifications.

One such person he knew personally was Bukedde reporter Josephat Sseguya, and on seeing him the legislator reportedly went into overdrive, throwing all kinds of insults at Sseguya.

“Now, why would Hon Kato Lubwama come to office (Vision Group offices) to insult me that I am a fool? I am still puzzled because it is not me that took him to court. All that I included in my report was what is before court. Let me post ma academic qualifications here tomorrow to see if I got nothing from Nyenga seminary and MUK…..,” Sseguya responded.

Paulo Kato Lubwama, the Lubaga South MP, could lose his seat after a political activist Habib Buwembo took him to court claiming he lacks the minimum academic qualifications to be a legislator.

According to Buwembo, Lubwama failed his O-level exams and was not awarded a UNEB certificate. Further, he argues, the diploma in Music, Dance and Drama certificate that Lubwama obtained from Makerere University and which he used as a basis for nomination as a parliamentary candidate, is null and void.

The case kicks off on October 31 at the High court, Kampala. On October 7, Uneb in a letter to Buwembo confirming that the grades Lubwama obtained at O-level were not sufficient for him to be awarded a certificate.

Lubwama sat his O-levels at Old Kampala Secondary School in 1988. According to his O-level results, Lubwama, failed (got F9 in) English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. He got passes in History, Commerce and credits in Political Education, Geography, and Christian Religious Education.
