National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has weighed in on the departure of Mariam Wangadya from the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC), arguing that her situation reflects what he described as a long-standing pattern within government.

In a strongly worded statement, the opposition leader said public officials who sacrifice justice and the rights of citizens in order to serve political interests often discover too late that the system they defended offers little protection once they fall out of favour.

"The regime uses people and dumps them when they are no longer useful," Bobi Wine said.

According to Kyagulanyi, many individuals who have occupied influential positions in government institutions eventually find themselves isolated after years of loyal service.

He argued that some officials become instruments of political survival only to realize later that loyalty within politics can be temporary and transactional.

"Many trade their integrity for power, privilege or protection, only to discover that the system they served has no loyalty to them whatsoever," he stated.

The NUP leader said Wangadya's reported departure should serve as a lesson to public servants currently occupying positions of authority.

He urged officials to consider how history will judge their actions long after they leave office.

"Power expires, titles disappear and official protection ends. What remains is your name, your conscience and the legacy of the choices you made while you had authority," Kyagulanyi added.

Wangadya's tenure at the Uganda Human Rights Commission attracted both praise and criticism from different sections of society.
