The Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Samuel Shekwolo, has said some of his recent remarks that sparked public backlash were “taken out of context,” insisting that they did not reflect his intentions or the official position of his administration.

Shekwolo had come under criticism after he threatened to send away anyone who refuses to vote for the All Progressives Congress in the upcoming elections, prompting backlash from members of the public.

The chairman made the clarification during a press conference while responding to reactions to the controversial remarks.

“In public governance, clarity, truth and transparency are essential. In recent days, certain statements made were taken out of context and leading to a distorted narrative that do not reflect my true intents or core values or the official position of this administration,” he said.
