Listen to Miriam Matembe's leaked phone call recordings. Ex Museveni minister wanted to meet Bobi Wine. Listen

According to sources close to the matter, Matembe was allegedly involved in spreading information that was ultimately dismissed as false. In a surprising twist, her claims were reportedly rejected outright by none other than Mzee—a figure widely respected in Uganda’s political hierarchy.

The rejection, described by insiders as both swift and stern, is said to have stunned Matembe to such an extent that she fainted and had to be urgently hospitalized.

Following this unexpected dismissal, Matembe allegedly reached out to MP Joel Ssenyonyi in what appears to have been a last-ditch effort to keep her narrative alive. In the now-viral audio clip, Matembe is heard urging Ssenyonyi to help amplify her message.

While the full context of the conversation remains unclear, the tone and urgency in her voice have raised eyebrows and left many wondering about the nature of her claims—and why she was so desperate to have them heard.

“This is not just political drama—it’s a moment of reckoning about the consequences of misinformation and the high stakes of political storytelling,” one analyst commented. “Matembe miscalculated, and now the public is witnessing the fallout in real time.”

Indeed, the incident has ignited a larger conversation about how misinformation—whether deliberate or unintentional—can rapidly spiral out of control, especially in today’s hyperconnected digital age. Social media platforms lit up as the audio clip circulated, with Ugandans from all walks of life sharing their thoughts, memes, and hot takes on the developing saga.

Political observers say the fallout could have lasting implications not just for Matembe, but also for MP Ssenyonyi, who now finds himself pulled into a controversy that he may not have anticipated. Although his role in the conversation appears to be more passive than active, his involvement alone has thrust him into the spotlight.

As more information continues to surface, the public remains gripped by the unfolding drama. The leaked phone call has offered a rare and unfiltered glimpse into the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that often shapes Uganda’s political discourse. And with questions still lingering about the origin, content, and purpose of Matembe’s claims, this story is far from over.

For now, one thing is clear: this incident has thrown open a window into the complex, high-stakes world of political messaging—and reminded the public that not all strategies go according to plan.
