Ashburg Katto, once hailed as a darling in the Kyagulanyi household and the broader National Unity Platform (NUP), has found himself at the center of controversy after defecting to the yellow bus camp, leaving many questioning his allegiances and motivations.
Katto’s defection from Bobi Wine’s NUP to the ruling party came as a shock to many, as he had previously been seen as a staunch supporter and vocal advocate for the opposition cause. However, promises of grandeur and opportunity from the government enticed him to make the switch, a decision that has since sparked heated debates and raised eyebrows among political observers.
In a recent revelation, Katto admitted that while the government delivered on a few of its promises, his appetite for more remains insatiable. Despite his reservations, he has found solace in a surprising new venture – farming.
“I am actively into farming, and it’s paying my bills,” Katto revealed in an interview with a local television station. “I quit blogging and chose to go for the informal sector. I grow crops and rear animals, including cows, goats, and exotic dogs for sale.”
Katto’s transition from political punditry to agricultural entrepreneurship highlights the unpredictable nature of Ugandan politics and the resilience of individuals in adapting to changing circumstances. While some may view his decision to abandon the limelight for the tranquility of farm life as a retreat, Katto remains unapologetic, asserting that he has found fulfillment and financial stability in his new vocation.
As Katto continues to carve out a niche for himself in the agricultural sector, his journey serves as a reminder of the diverse paths individuals may take in pursuit of their ambitions, even in the volatile realm of Ugandan politics. Whether his newfound endeavors will lead to lasting success or further controversy remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Ashburg Katto’s story is far from over.
