Once you've been rejected by the people, no amount of last minute generosity can save you from your imminent defeat at the polls. From his actions, one can easily figure out that he had no good intentions for the people.

Same fate awaits Buhari and his gang of thieves come 2019. If you like build skyscrappers overnight, if you like, increase minimum wage to N100,000. We will still vote you out. Buhari will be given the "Uganda treatment" come 2019. Insha Allah.

So he paid them and then order the banks to reverse all the payments again after 2 days right? That's absurd and incredible for anyone to believe, except for zombies though.

Patrick Okumu-Ringa, who lost in the recently-concluded Nebbi Municipality Parliamentary election in Uganda, has dismantled all the boreholes he had sunk that have been supplying water to residents for the past twenty years.

Okumu-Ringa, who is said to own huge chunks of land in the municipality, had about 10 boreholes drilled in different wards.

The former public service state minister accused the area residents of abusing his generosity by not supporting his bid for MP. The process of dismantling the boreholes started on Monday and was concluded on Wednesday, three days after the election results were announced.

For close to 10 years, Okumu-Ringa was Padyere County MP, but lost the seat to UPC’s late David Ringecan in 2006. Since then, he has tried to make a come-back in other elections in vain. During the NRM primaries, Okumu-Ringa lost to the new entrant, Suleiman Hashim. He, however, chose to run as independent, claiming his defeat during the primaries was as result of rigging.

In the recent election, Okumu-Ringa came third after securing 1,270 votes out the 9,940 total votes cast. He lost to Hashim, who scored 4,283 votes, with FDC’s Robert Onega coming second with 4,159 votes in the highly-billed election.

Okumu-Ringa confirmed to Sunday Vision that he had indeed dismantled the boreholes, adding that he had no regrets for his action. He, however, said at an appropriate time, he would reconcile with residents and assemble the boreholes. ; “I am hurt, but I will reconcile with them. However, for now, let them look for water elsewhere. Our people are not appreciative. All I wanted from them was votes. I have educated so many children, but all they tell me is I have done nothing,” he said.

Asked whether he was hurting the Government he once served, Okumu-Ringa said the Government should instead pay him for supplying free water to citizens. “I don’t think the Government should be offended. I used my money to sink the boreholes, and in any case, even National Water and Sewerage Corporation doesn’t supply free water.

Africans are so selfish. The man need to be held accountable for what he did. And moreover, it's not even his money to lay claim on. I'm afraid of what might happen in Nigeria if certain individual looses election.

He said he built it with his personal money and He also said even the government don't supply free water.
And he built them like Ten years ago which means it wasn't a recent infrastructure.
The people that gave him over 1000 votes deserves the boreholes even though they weren't enough to give him victory.
This by force public service African leaders display...... Say I don't want you to lead today doesn't mean I might not consider you tomorrow.. Unless your name is Atiku Abubakar.

he built it with his money and gave it to the public. So that makes it public property undecided.well thats why we have insane societies in this continent as a whole undecided.

If we are to dig on his source of wealth it will still trace back to public funds.You and I know someone as self centered like this will never use his personal money to help other people.

you built ten boreholes and you call that achievement? I can easily afford to sink all them even though I have never ran for public office

You can but somehow you haven't.

Same way the Nigerian government can boast of delivering good governance but unfortunately, they haven't.

That shows that his intentions are not for the interest of his people

He drilled the borehole to gain favour from his people and has to distroy it because he was not favoured in the election

That means he is not a good person
