Former Minister Nsaba Buturo Bounces Back Godfrey Tugume Former Ethics Minister James Nsaba Buturo The People of Bufumbira East constituency in Kisoro district are now set for a heated 2016, after Former Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo trumpeted interest to vie again for the area parliamentary seat. The seat slipped through his fingers in 2011 when he lost in the NRM party primaries to current MP Eddie Kwizera Wagahungu. The 63 year old former minister also tried to stand on an independent ticket without success. He now asserts that all the developmental projects he started in the constituency have stalled in his absence. Electricity distribution, he claimed, has remained the same since he was voted out and that there existed no active agriculture promotion in the constituency due to poor leadership. During his tenure as Ethics and integrity minister, Buturo famed greatly for his contribution in the formulation of the Anti gay law, which on the other hand earned him disrepute from majorly foreign and local rights campaigners. He claims that the previous election had a lot of rigging, which got him losing badly to Kwizera, but now he is determined to reclaim the seat. My people have been orphaned in the past four years; their representative abandoned them and now the constituency needs a representative who listens to people, without provocations and resorting to anger With Nsaba-buturo indicating his intent to contest come 2016, it now brings the declared candidates to 3 after another Engineer Nzabanita, who is currently doing under-ground mobilization in the constituency, made similar pronouncement.
