NBS TV Uncut presenter and former co-host of Zahara Toto, Annet Nambooze alias Anna Talia Oze has joined politics.

Launching her bid for the Rubaga North Lord Woman councillor slot this week, Nambooze said she wants to tackle poverty and youth unemployment if elected as councillor in the forthcoming elections.

“The struggle to afford basic necessities by many of you was and is still my struggle. The fear to slip into poverty, the raging issue of youth unemployment are still my fears,”said Nambooze.

“I know what it means to be born and raised in this constituency in every sense including the challenges of my people. I grew up in a very modest home that struggled and depended on hard work to survive,” she added.

Nambooze said she decided to be independent because all of the people she would affiliate herself with have a niche.

“I want to be your voice and I hope, working with you, will help all of us bring the change,” she said.
