Northburge Nadunga has written to Gender Minister Hon Betty Amongi over the misconduct of her junior minister Hon Dominic Gidudu Mafwabi whom she describes as “my husband.”
Gidudu is the State Minister for Elderly Affairs in the Gender Ministry.
In a letter dated February 21, 2023, Ms Nadunga seeks the intervention of Minister Amongi “because of the inability acts of my husband.”
The duo have two children together, a girl aged 12 and a 10 year old boy.
“The dishonest acts include, torturing my life through groups of bad people, deserting a family home with no reasonable show- cause, threatening to evict the family from rental house, falsehood document purporting to be Memorandum of Understanding to acquire a family home and start business equity venture, among others,” the letter reads in part.
Nadunga further attached a list of 6 individuals whom she separately accuses of unleashing torture against her as they purportedly worked on behalf of the minister.
The 6 include: Victor Wanyoto, Ronald Wangisha, Moses Wafula, Cold (rtd) Ampulu, Eliam Godfrey Kilawa and the landlord. She included their phones.
She requested Minister Amongi to investigate these individuals.
Whereas Ms Nadunga addresses Minister Gidudu as “my husband” the latter completely denies the marital status maintaining that she is “just a woman I had two children with.”
Expounding on the matter in a phone interview with this website, the ageing minister said, “Now she is not my wife, she is a lady I had two kids with. I have never been to her parents and everybody knows it. She has other children from other men. 3 children. And these children I was good enough, I paid fees for one in Kyambogo for a post graduate diploma in education- 5m. She has another daughter I helped to do business. I have gone beyond what an ordinary man would do.”
On abandoning his family, Mr Gidudu refuted the allegations saying, “I feed my children, put them in a respectable place. She has no reason to complain.”
He said he rents a house in Namugongo for the children and their mother at shs 1 million a month. Gidudu also said he has several supermarket receipts as evidence that he buys food for his family.
“I do shopping of shs 500,000 sometimes. I have receipts in my file,” he added.
He refers to Nadunga as a drunkard who uses drugs, reason he can’t give her money to buy food because she will waste it on alcohol.
He also acknowledged that she wrote to his superior (Minister Amongi) about his conduct.
“She went to my minister and I don’t report to my minister if you know the protocol. I am a minister of state, that minister doesn’t administer me. These affairs are not for her, so she rang me and got my explanation and after advised this lady that you are lucky this is not your husband,” Gidudu said.
