Rukungiri Municipality MP Roland Mugume Kaginda has hailed former Uganda Cranes captain Godfrey Massa as a hero, demanding a statement from Government explaining the circumstances surrounding the shooting fracas in which the star was involved in last week.
Taking to the floor of Parliament this afternoon, Mugume who spoke on behalf of Leader of Opposition Winfred Kiiza, expressed disgust over Government’s failure to come up with a statement on what transpired for the shooting to occur.
“Massa is an important man in this country; he is role a model, we were told he was involved in a shooting, we are just reading newspapers. We need a statement from Government,” Mugume said, sending the House into laughter.
Ruth Nankabirwa, the Government Chief Whip fired back at Mugume saying the matter is being investigated by Police and there was no need for a statement, before investigations are finalized.
“Regarding Massa being role model, I know he role models for you, but the case of Massa is already with police,” Nankabirwa said.
It should be recalled that last week, Massa was involved in a cat and mouse game with Police when they allegedly found him with a female friend in a car at 2am in Bweyogerere.
On seeing Police, Massa is said to have driven off fast, which prompted Police to shoot at his car, aiming at deflating the car tyres but the bullets instead hit the lady.
