Kampala aspirant woman member of parliament NUP’s Agnes Namaganda is desperate due to persistence increase of threatening by her husband NRM’s Dick Twinomujuni accusing her for supporting “National unity platform (NUP) instead NRM which he also supports.
The embattled Agnes Namaganda who is currently depressed says before she joined politics, she was in peace with her husband Dick Twinomujuni who is currently working with ministry of Agriculture, fisheries and animal industries, but ever since she joined politics on opposition side, the situation turned into calamity.
“My husband is holding a gun legally and lawfully, but my life is in danger due to pressure he mounts onto me for not supporting NRM, and he is always threatening to kill me, she added.
Agnes says that, she has spent 10 years in marriage with her husband Dick Twinomujuni, and is currently a mother of four children all belonging to Dick Twinomujuni despite challenges she is encountered with currently due to political differences.
According to Agnes, they are currently residing at Nalumunye but she left home and resolved to distance herself from Dick Twinomujuni as a measure to save her life until the situation returns normal adding that, this is not the first time for this to happen.
“Am now not living with my husband because he always threatening to kill me because i support NUP, while he supports NRM,” she added.
According to Agnes, she alarmed police over this matter at Nalumunye police station on reference number SD/Ref 11/11/09/2020, under O/C Torreb Namanya who later invited both parties to settle the matter despite Agnes Namaganda decided to divorce over the failure to reach on consensus with Mr Dick Twinomujuni.
Asked why she decided to join politics under NUP, Agnes said that, its now only NUP that can bring change, however she disclosed her areas of concern if she goes through elections and becomes legislator saying her first priority is to fight against domestic violence through parliament, development partners, supporting women in development among others because what she is currently going through is not admirable.
She also pointed out other key issues to prioritise such as improving health sector in Kampala specifically to reduce on mortality rate, education sector for all to get access to including the poor, infrastructures through lobbying among others.
“I call upon my fellow Ugandans to join me and NUP to fight for democracy, freedom and change so that we all share national cake equally without discrimination,” she said.
