Dr. Philemon Mateke a former Minister of State for Regional Affairs and Kisoro district NRM Chairman has said he is ready to tackle the Bufumbira North Member of Parliament, Hon. Kamara John Nizeyimana.
Hon Kamara has declared intentions to contest for the Kisoro district NRM Party chairperson in the upcoming elections planning to un seat Dr Philemon Mateke.
Dr Mateke today said “I am ready for Kamara, I will try”. He said in a telephone interview.
The Bufumbira North Member of Parliament, Hon. Kamara John Nizeyimana, has declared his intentions to contest for the Kisoro district NRM Party chairperson in the upcoming elections.
Nizeyimana made the remarks recently while addressing journalists from the Kisoro United Journalists Association (KUJA) at his business center in Nyakinama sub-county, Kisoro district.
During the address, Nizeyimana emphasized that the National Resistance Movement (NRM) was founded by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to provide peace, stability, unity, and development in the country.
He expressed his determination to lead the party in the district, stating that he will serve as both a legislator for Bufumbira North and potentially the NRM chairman for Kisoro district.
In addition to discussing his political aspirations, Nizeyimana encouraged Kisoro-based journalists to engage in income-generating activities to enhance their financial stability and independence.
He advised them to invest part of their monthly salaries into small businesses and suggested that they consider growing their own food, such as vegetables and bananas, to reduce their reliance on market purchases.
Speaking on behalf of the Kisoro United Journalists Association (KUJA), Simon Mugumya, the association’s vice chairperson, applauded Nizeyimana for his efforts to recognize the work done by journalists and his support for the association.
Mugumya emphasized the importance of cooperation among journalists in reporting accurate news that brings a positive impact to society.
During the discussion, journalists endorsed Nizeyimana to be their patron, citing unmet expectations from their former patron, Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, the Bufumbira East legislator.
Dr Mateke has been Kisoro NRM boss for some good time and he still feels fit to lead in that office.
He recently lost his daughter Sarah Mateke who was a security state minister and Woman MP for Kisoro district.
