A recent article from eagle.co.ug has circulated serious but entirely fabricated claims against Dr. Chris Mukiza, the Executive Director of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS). The piece alleges that Dr. Mukiza tried to shoot Rubanda West MP Moses Kamuntu during a supposed altercation at a hotel in Kololo. These claims are completely untrue and seem designed to harm Dr. Mukiza’s reputation and the credibility of UBOS.
This defamatory narrative, now being shared on social media platforms like Facebook and Phoenix, appears to be based on sensationalism and irresponsible journalism, likely driven by motives of extortion.
Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, has firmly stated that no such incident has been reported to any police station.
It is also important to clarify that Dr. Mukiza does not drive himself when using an official government vehicle. He is always accompanied by an official driver, and his security is managed by a professional security team that handles any potential threats.
The false accusation that Dr. Mukiza was driving under the influence and tried to draw a weapon on MP Kamuntu is an attack on his moral character and professional integrity. Dr. Mukiza is well-respected for his ethical leadership, clear judgment, and unwavering commitment to his role.
The public is urged to reject these baseless allegations and to be cautious of unverified stories that aim to damage reputations based on rumors and personal vendettas.
