Broken Promises: Ugandan Public's Distrust in Aspiring MPs Grows

Ugandan Public Distrusts Aspiring MPs: Broken Promises Fuel Concerns Uganda is facing growing public skepticism towards aspiring Members of Parliament (MPs). Many citizens feel that candidates make promises they fail to keep once elected. This sentiment was highlighted on a recent Sanyuka TV broadcast featuring Alfonso Bajjo, who expressed concern about the lack of accountability among politicians. "Nowadays, most people who aspire to become MPs are viewed as dishonest," Bajjo stated, emphasizing the widespread perception of broken promises. He noted several examples of candidates who made grand pledges during campaigns but failed to deliver on them after assuming office. This distrust is eroding public faith in the political process. The video underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability from politicians to restore public confidence. The issue raises questions about electoral reform and the importance of holding elected officials responsible for their commitments.
