Tamale Mirundi Junior is a traffic offender. Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, Patrick Onyango, said Mirundi Junior was intercepted for not clearing two traffic tickets.
Onyango said cops had stopped him to inquire about the payment but he came showing off his permit.
According to the police spokesman, Junior might have recently acquired the permit.
“Traffic officers stopped him. On stopping him, he dashed out of the car to shout at the cops. He came showing off his permit,” said Patrick Onyango.
“It seems he has just acquired the permit. I think he was used to being stopped for not having a permit.”
He said: “They told him that we are not here for a permit. We are here to arrest those who haven’t paid for tickets. Then he started quarreling with them.
“There are two tickets he hasn’t cleared.”
Tamale Mirundi Junior told the cops that he had borrowed a car from a senior government official whom they should call to clear the tickets.
The government official talked to the cops and they let him go.
Junior like his father, Joseph Tamale Mirundi, does commentary on wide-ranging issues.
Riding on the shoulders of his well-known dad, who is a former presidential press secretary and media advisor, Mirundi Junior has amassed a huge social media following (TikTok and Facebook) through which he churns out attacking those he doesn’t like and glorifies those he doesn’t.
Born on November 28, 1995, Tamale Mirundi Junior holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from Makerere University.
Part of his fame came from dating the socialite Don Zella in 2021 whom he later accused of exploiting him.
