Renown Ugandan TikTok content creator Ken Mukalakasa turned himself in to State Minister Balaam Barugahara after the footage spread online showing him chewing someone’s Nyash until things got bitter.
According to Blizz Uganda reporys, Ken he initially denied the allegations but admitted them when confronted with potential forensic evidence.
The minister urged investigators to handle the case with utmost seriousness and transparency, while directing security to release Mukalakasa on bond if he cooperates, as he now faces questioning by the Criminal Investigations Department.
Public anger has focused on why the matter went to a ministerial office first instead of directly to police, amid Uganda’s strict laws against minor sexual abuse that carry life imprisonment penalties.
Balaam has taken to his socials to post a video showing Ken Apologizing and captioned it;
“I would like to inform the general public that the man seen in the TikTok video, allegedly violating and abusing a young boy to the extent of causing him to vomit during the incident, has surrendered himself to our offices. He is currently under questioning and investigation by CID regarding these serious allegations involving a minor.
It is believed that the suspect may have drugged the young victim prior to carrying out these abusive actions. I therefore appeal to the investigators to handle this matter with the utmost seriousness, diligence, and transparency to ensure justice is served. Let us all respect the laws of the land and uphold the dignity and rights of others. Abuse in any form is unacceptable and must be condemned by all.”
