Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu, the elder brother to National Unity Platform (NUP) Principal Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine) has shocked the party leadership and grassroot mobilizers after buying a Shs500m house in Kawempe South.
According to highly placed sources in NUP, Nyanzi bought the house from a businessman in Mukalazi Zone Kawempe Two in Kawempe Division Kampala city.
“The businessman was urgently in need of money to save his other businesses and he decided to sell off his house which he has just rebuilt after demolishing the old one for not matching with his status. Nyanzi was the only available person who could get him the money he wanted,” a source said.
After buying the house, Nyanzi boasted to his supporters that he has silenced his critics who have been moving around telling people not vote him accusing him of being an alien in their area because he was did not have a home there even though he owns a number of businesses and offices in Kawempe South where he wants to contest as Member of Parliament in the coming parliamentary elections.

Sources said that the house is big and Nyanzi told them that he is going to use part of it as his official offices while vying for the office of the area legislator.
He boasted that he is very sure he will secure the party ticket.
Asked, where Nyanzi is getting all that money because he has just finished putting up his multibillion home in Kyebando Central in Kawempe North also in Kawempe Division, the source revealed that Nyanzi received some money from people he appointed to lead the new party grassroot mobilisation structures before his brother Bobi Wine fired him and elected him as the party’s head of international affairs.
Nyanzi also runs a number of businesses in the city especially rentals and he collects good money monthly even though his critics claim that he is also receiving money from his comrades in president Museveni’s government.
When contacted, Nyanzi declined to comment on the matter. He promised to get back to this reporter upon finishing the meeting he was attending.
