Kampala, Uganda – The Member of Parliament for Kawempe South, Hon. Bashir Kazibwe, is reportedly battling a strange illness, with unconfirmed sources suggesting that he may have been poisoned. Reports indicate that the MP has been experiencing severe abdominal pain, fueling speculation about the cause of his sudden illness.
According to sources close to the MP, Kazibwe’s health took a drastic turn, with persistent pain becoming unbearable throughout the day. One anonymous source disclosed:
“He is unwell, and the symptoms strongly suggest poisoning. He has been complaining of constant pain throughout the day; he must have been poisoned.”
Although no official medical report has been released confirming poisoning, concerns remain high within his political circles. Allegations have surfaced suggesting that the MP may have been targeted by political rivals within Kawempe South, though no tangible evidence has been presented to support this claim.
Hon. Kazibwe Bashir was an outspoken critic of President Yoweri Museveni during the 2021 elections. However, since assuming office, he has remained relatively silent and has not been as actively involved in opposition politics. His low-profile stance has led to speculation about his future in the National Unity Platform (NUP), the party under which he was elected.
Reports indicate that he has not visited the NUP headquarters in a long time, raising questions about whether he will receive the party’s endorsement for re-election in 2026. This has fueled further speculation that internal political conflicts may be at play.
At the time of writing, no official statement has been issued by the MP, his family, or his medical team regarding the cause of his illness. The National Unity Platform has also remained silent on the matter.
Authorities and Kazibwe’s close associates are monitoring the situation closely as the MP undergoes medical examination and treatment. Until confirmed details emerge, concerns and speculation surrounding his condition continue to grow.
