"My son Bayiga is innocent and it's politics that brings all this, but it is sponsored by Buikwe current Member of Parliament David Mutebi and the state minister for water Ronald Kibuule because he (Lulume) is a freedom fighter for the residents of Kigaya-golomolo land in Najja sub county Buikwe district which Kibule wants to evict"
