Bobi Wine’s NUP Snubs Paying Hotel Room Fee, In Mbale Manager In Panic

As preparations gather momentum to welcome the National Unity Platform (NUP) flag bearer to the city, a lingering accommodation dispute has surfaced, casting a shadow over the celebratory mood.According to management at Sky View Guest House in Maluku, NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, and members of his team allegedly left the facility without settling their accommodation bill following an appearance on Bugisu FM. The team had reportedly booked rooms during the visit, but sources at the guest house claim checked out without clearing the fees.The guest house management says several reminders have since been directed to NUP leadership, but no response has been received. “We have made repeated attempts to follow up through the proper channels, but there has been no positive feedback,” a source familiar with the matter told this publication.The issue comes at a time when NUP supporters are mobilizing to welcome their party leader, with organizers urging unity and smooth coordination ahead of the visit. Observers say addressing outstanding concerns, including claims from local service providers, would help maintain goodwill and avoid unnecessary controversy.By press time, NUP leadership had not publicly commented on the allegations. Efforts to obtain an official response were unsuccessful.As the city readies itself for the high-profile arrival, stakeholders are calling for clarity and resolution, hoping the matter can be settled amicably and without detracting from the political engagement planned for the region.
