NBS television news anchor, Samson Kasumba, has once again captured public attention with a bold plea on social media. In a tweet posted on his X/Twitter account, Kasumba announced his upcoming 50th birthday and openly expressed his desire for a unique gift: a motorcycle worth milions.
Kasumba, celebrated for his eloquence and unwavering passion for motorbikes, extended an invitation to the Ugandan public and well-wishers to contribute to his milestone celebration by fulfilling his wish for a bike. Embracing transparency, he emphasized that this time, his appeal was public, aiming to dispel any previous accusations of clandestine solicitation.
The news anchor's tweet, laden with a touch of humor, read, "My good friends on this app. I have been unfairly accused of begging for paint before. Let me be forthright that on 12 May is my 50th birthday. I am begging for this as my birthday present. This time let it be clear am begging publicly and I am serious no jokes. You have time."
Kasumba's return to social media, following the deletion of his previous heavily followed account, has reignited discussions online. Despite his new handle yet to reach the milestone of 10k followers, his past influence with over 300k followers reflects his enduring impact.
Known for his controversial opinions, Kasumba has not shied away from polarizing stances, drawing criticism, particularly from supporters of the NUP, who allege bias in his reporting.
