Politician and musician Geoffrey Lutaaya has come under intense scrutiny after a viral video featured a 17-year-old girl, identified only as Nambatya, claiming to be his biological daughter and accusing him of neglect. Nambatya alleged that Lutaaya failed to pay her tuition fees, causing poor academic performance, and that both she and her mother have been cut off from contact with the politician.
The video rapidly spread, prompting public debate on Lutaaya’s suitability for political office. Critics questioned his personal responsibility, while some targeted his wife, musician Irene Namatovu, accusing her of a lack of sympathy. The controversy questions the balance between public duties and private family responsibilities of prominent figures.
