Few days ago videos showing the friendship and camaraderie of Bobi Wine and Ashburg Kato were trending on social media. Once a trusted ally and social media guru for Bobi Wine, Kato betrayed him for money and now he has been betrayed by the regime. Kato’s stunning defection from the People Power movement to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) in 2020 left many stunned.
However not even 5 years after his defection, he has come out to claim that he was used and dumped. Kato claims he was manipulated by President Museveni’s operatives with promises of wealth and power. But in a shocking reversal, Kato has been releasing heart-wrenching videos exposing the regime’s empty promises and his own deep regret.
Kato’s story serves as a stark warning to those tempted by the lure of power and wealth. His betrayal and subsequent regret offer a glimpse into the ruthless world of Ugandan politics, where allegiances are bought and sold like commodities.
Kato’s fall from grace has left him a broken man, haunted by the consequences of his actions. His story raises disturbing questions about the lengths to which the regime will go to silence opposition voices and maintain its grip on power. However, Bobi Wine warned about this in advance.
