Kayunga businessman Moses Karangwa has found it hard to personally sell his message to delegates coming to Kololo to elect new leaders of NRM inside CEC this coming Wednesday. His problems are mainly because he has been reluctant to explain his agenda and what he intends to do with the position in case he gets elected the new NRM chairman in the central region.
He has been to many parts of the country and wherever he goes, Karangwa mainly offers big envelopes for lunch, accommodation and transport refund-and then promises a big bull for every district that he wins in. This has been angering and turning off many delegates in many places who immediately criticize him after picking his envelope.
Having realized he isn’t getting much value out of such town hall meetings, Karangwa is now counting on incumbent MPs who are delegates too. He believes these have a lot of influence on delegates groups from their constituencies and they are the ones who are going to be facilitated with a lot of money on the final day to make the final push for him.
He has also been trying to win over the new NRM flag bearers who he thinks can sway delegates from their districts to vote for him. Once given facilitation, such flag bearers and MPs can do well explaining Karangwa’s manifesto to delegates even better than the candidate himself.
This arrangement by Moses Karangwa, a rich man for whom money has never been a problem, has made delegates to look at incumbent MPs and new flag bearers at Kololo as ATMs people who are supposed to have a lot of money to share with them as CEC elections begin on Wednesday.
