Cedric Babu Ndilima has expressed interest in the Kampala Central Parliamentary seat. Cedric who is ready to vie for the seat come 2021 is the son of veteran politician Captain Francis Babu.
The seat is currently being occupied by Muhammad Nsereko.
During an interview with Matooke Republic news website, Cedric said that infrastructure in Kampala needs to have a facelift, and he will act as a vessel through which people can have access to resources they can use to uplift themselves.
The current president of Uganda Tennis Association and entertainment guru also explained the need to invest in activities like sports and entertainment in which young people have the most interest, and then improve their standard of living.
“There needs to be education in Parliament about the business of sport. Sport is a $700 billion industry. How do we tap into it to improve Kampala? Entertainment is contributing Shs143 billion to the economy, but what have we invested to generate that sort of return?” Babu said.
Cedric believes that as an MP, he can influence policies that can see these sectors well-managed so the players can fully benefit from them and lead a meaningful life.
