Obongi: MP Fungaroo under siege

Constituency to watch: Obongi (Moyo District)

Current MP: Hassan Kaps Fungaroo (FDC)
Contestants: Pataki Amasi, Gregory Drale, Stephen Dima (all NRM)

President Museveni, during a meeting with legislators from West Nile region on September 11, last year also raised questions about MP Fungaroo’s perceived suspicious closer link with the Khartoum government. Mr Museveni reportedly asked Mr Fungaroo: “Where did you know those Arabs from?”
Whatever the ominous import, the lawmaker is self-assured he will win the next ballot unless it is rigged. “The government officials think that the pillar of opposition in Moyo, Yumbe and Adjumani Districts is me; that why they are scared and sabotaging my development initiatives and plotting my arrest,” said Mr Fungaroo, “The people of Obongi need me and I need them and I am here for them.”
