Norbert Mao responds to Anita Among over “NRM bedroom
The clash stems from comments made by Among during the NRM retreat in Kyankwanzi, where she warned critics against “trespassing into the NRM’s bedroom politics” — a phrase widely interpreted as telling outsiders to keep off internal party affairs.
Mao, a senior opposition figure, pushed back, arguing that in Uganda’s political culture, leaders engaging with the public must be open to scrutiny. He invoked the idea that “guests are highly respected in our society,” suggesting political spaces should not be closed off from dialogue and differing views.
