Nina Roz Speaks Out on Ssembabule Election Ordeal
When Nina Roz took the stage at the Uganda Law Society’s New Law Year event, the audience expected a reflection on civic participation. What followed instead was a raw account of fear, violence, and disillusionment that has since reverberated far beyond the legal fraternity.
Ms. Kankunda, popularly known as Nina Roz, recounted her experience contesting for the Ssembabule District Woman Member of Parliament seat, describing an environment she said resembled conflict rather than a democratic exercise. She spoke of intimidation, arrests of her supporters, and scenes that left her emotionally scarred.
Her remarks have sparked a national debate about the cost of political participation, particularly for public figures who enter politics with visibility but without institutional protection. Coming from a celebrity whose career was built in entertainment, her testimony carried a weight that many activists and politicians have struggled to achieve.
