During a community dialogue commonly known as Baraza organized by the Rujumbura County area Member of Parliament and the Minister for Security Hon Jim Muhwezi in Nyabugando, Kikarara Parish Bwambara Sub County, residents accused Ninsiima of demanding for bribes from individuals seeking to benefit from Parish Development Model program.
