KTN News Anchor Gets The Nod For Moderating Uganda’s Presidential Debate Where One Hopeful Behaved Like Kenya’s Abduba Dida In 2013
The neighboring Uganda held its maiden presidential debate over the past weekend and it was KTN news anchor Nancy Kacungira who was moderating.
Back in 2013, a certain Mohammed Abduba Dida ‘outshone’ other candidates during Presidential debate and many thought he could actually carry the day.
Dida brought total humor to a place where the atmosphere was filled with seriousness as one of the hopefuls would be Kenya’s fourth president.
Uganda too has its own Abduba Dida by the name Joseph Mabirizzi; this was evident on Saturday night during presidential debate.
KTN’s Nancy Kacungira alongside Alan Kasujja were the moderators. A total of seven presidential candidates showed up at Serena hotel with the exception of the incumbent President.
They included; Besigye, Abed Bwanika Maj. Gen. Benon Biraaro, Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba, Eng. Joseph Mabirizi and Faith Maureen Kyalya Walube.
Joseph Mabirizzi kept the audience laughing with how he responded to questions Nancy asked. His insanely ridiculous rhetoric other than pragmatic solutions was a reminiscent of Kenya’s Abduba Dida.
Anyway Kacungira did a great job moderating and she received lots of accolades for a job well done. She’s supposed to be back on KTN by now since her 3-month stint at BBC expired.
