In a video clip from the Masaka event, Kusasira said: "I appreciate you because you've supported us. But I've something that's paining me, as an individual, [being a] presidential advisor that can't access you."

As she was still speaking, President Museveni interrupted to tell her that she will be able to meet him in June.

Museveni said: "Okay, they'll bring you."

As she tried to speak again, Museveni told her: "They'll bring you around mid-June... Okay, Catherine. Okay."

The president wanted her to stop so other people could speak. He said for her she is rich.

"That rich girl," he said, "leave her."

Some reports indicate that she had borrowed the money in 2017, but the Covid lockdown made it hard to service it.

Reports indicate that Catherine Kusasira borrowed Shs100 million in 2017, but she wasn't able to service it fully. She was only able to refund Shs80 million.
