Kampala Woman Member of Parliament Shamim Malende has dismissed rumours linking her romantically to comedian Reign, saying the two have never been in a relationship.
Speaking during an interview with a local television station, Malende denied the speculation, insisting she has no reason to keep her personal life private if she were in a relationship.
"The truth is out. I have no reason to hide my relationships. I have never been in a relationship with Reign," she said.
Malende also revealed that she is currently not in a relationship, explaining that her focus remains on serving the people who elected her.
"I am focusing on serving my people at the moment. I am not thinking about relationships. I have put relationships on hold to serve my people," she added.
Her remarks put to rest long-running speculation about her alleged relationship with Reign, as the legislator maintains that public service remains her top priority.
