A small town in the Kyotera District of Uganda has been thrown in a state of political unrest following a daughter who is trying to rub shoulders with the father over the appointment as chairperson in their district.
Mr. Godfrey Kimera, the chairperson of Kasaali Town Council is the father to Ms. Reginah Nakiweewa who plans on unseating her father in next years upcoming election.
Mr Godfrey Kimera regards her daughters decision as an act of disrespect toward him.
Mr Kimera said “I have on several occasions asked her [Nakiweewa] to step down, but she has refused. I can’t tolerate such a daughter who shows no respect for elders. Let her look for another father,”
Ms Nakiweewa spoke in an interview on Wednesday that, “When I was still a child, my father used to tell us that we were the future leaders. I’m now mature and I am ready to take on the mantle from him, He [Kimera] is also the one who always says that Mr Museveni has ruled for long. Does he also want to take the same direction?”
“I have no personal vendetta against Mr Kimera. He will always be my father. My plan is to unseat that person who has failed to fulfill his promise,” she added.
