THE Bushenyi district Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) chairman has said Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu’s defection to the movement was a great loss to the party.
Eliab Kateeba recently said the Sheema South MP was a great mobiliser who helped the party to retain power in 1980 after it lost it 1971.
Kateeba said the MP is intelligent and would be needed during the transition from the movement to multiparty politics.
Kamantu defected to the Movement during a thanks-giving ceremony for his achievements in his constituency.
Kateeba said Kamantu was a performer whose enthusiasm would be missed by the UPC.
He, however, said Kamuntu had become passive in the party’s presidential policy commission where he was a member.
Kamuntu said he joined the Movement because he was involved in its start in 1980 with President Yoweri Museveni but separated because of power wrangles.
