Video: "I am the new Ghetto President," says Buchaman

The recently appointed presidential envoy in charge of Ghetto affairs, Mark Bugembe commonly known as Buchaman has said Bobi Wine's time as "Ghetto President" is over.

Buchaman advised his former boss to focus on the parliamentary duties and leave the issues concerning the people living in Ghetto to him.

“My issues are not political in anyway. If Bobi Wine is working hard to remove leaders who have overstayed in power, it’s the time for him to leave the position of Ghetto President,"he said.

Speaking out for the first time since he was appointed, Buchaman told NBSTV Uncut that he will work towards improving  the lives of people living in ghetto.

He said he will traverse all the ghettos in Uganda to see that he change lives of the people.

Buchaman applauded President Museveni for entrusting him with such a great responsibility.

“I thank the president for trusting me with this kind of responsibility. I would like to assure the president that we shall continue with our duties as we have been doing and we shall not disappoint you,"he said.

He cited some of challenges faced by the youths living in Ghetto which include being seen as thugs, organisers of strikes among others.

" I will use this chance to advocate for economic prosperity and development among the ghetto people and I know many people will ask why President Museveni gave me this great responsibility on the matter concerning the people living in ghetto,"he said.

He applauded the president for taking his time to check on welfare of the people living in ghetto saying that it's the right time for the people living in ghetto to think about their future.

“We shall help all the people, our main focus is to develop and improve the lives of people living in the ghetto and I am sure with the help of the president we will fulfil our objectives,"he said.
