Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development Principal Secretary Susan Auma Mang’eni has launched a scathing attack on key government-linked figures, accusing them of behaving like internal saboteurs and acting against President William Ruto’s administration.
Speaking following chaotic scenes at a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) sensitization event in Budalangi, Busia County, PS Mang’eni directly pointed fingers at Kenya’s Ambassador to Uganda, Ababu Namwamba, alleging he sponsored rowdy youths to disrupt the official government function.
“I know for sure that Ababu Namwamba is not for the President because if he was, he would not be scattering a meeting that is meant to amplify what the President is doing on the ground. He cannot be sponsoring goons,” Mang’eni stated, accusing figures within the government fold of undermining the ruling party’s programs.
The incident escalated rapidly when a group of youths stormed the venue prior to the event, preventing organizers from setting up tents and public address systems. Police were forced to lob tear gas to restore order, while security detail quickly whisked PS Mang’eni back to her vehicle as crowd members threw stones.
Despite the disruption, Mang’eni vowed to remain steadfast in advancing the government’s grassroots development initiatives regardless of internal opposition.
“You are unable to restore dignity, but let me tell you, I will spread President William Ruto’s message even if it means me dying today,” she affirmed.
The Principal Secretary confirmed that her team had officially notified local law enforcement ahead of the meeting and demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for instigating the violence.
