A story published by eagle.co.ug has made allegations suggesting that Dr. Chris Mukiza, the Executive Director of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), was involved in a supposed attempted shooting incident during an altercation at a hotel in Kololo involving Rubanda West MP Moses Kamuntu. These claims are unverified and lack any credible supporting evidence.
The report has since been widely circulated on social media platforms such as Facebook and Phoenix, drawing attention despite concerns about its accuracy and sensational framing.
Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire has confirmed that no such attempted shooting incident has been reported or recorded at any police station, further questioning the validity of the allegations.
It is also clarified that Dr. Mukiza does not drive himself while on official duty. He is always accompanied by an official driver, and his security is handled by a trained protection team responsible for his safety.
The claims that he was intoxicated and attempted to use a firearm against MP Kamuntu are firmly denied and do not align with his established professional conduct and public service record.
The public is encouraged to rely on verified and official sources of information and to treat unconfirmed reports with caution to prevent the spread of misinformation.
