Activists for Change announce more protests against government

Activists for change have launched a series of new campaigns to follow the walk to work, walk to pray campaign which was launched earlier geared at informing the government of the issues affecting Ugandans.

Speaking at a press conference today in Kampala, the national coordinator of A4C, Mathius Mpuga says they are starting with prayers on Friday to pray for Dr. Kizza Besigye and the nation.

He says starting Monday next week, they are appealing to all drivers and riders across the country to hoot for five minutes at 5pm as a symbol of dissatisfaction with the prevailing situation.

Mpuga also says that they are planning a call for funds that will be used to pay for medical services of all those laying in hospitals as a result of the walk to work protests as well as meet the legal bills of those who were arrested and languishing in jail.

Meanwhile, the defense secretary in FDC, Maj. John Kazoora is blaming the government for harassing officers who execute their duties professionally and raising those unlawfully executing duties to higher ranks.

Kazoora makes the comments in reference to Thursday last week unprofessional conduct of the army which mercilessly beat up Besigye supporters who had gone to welcome him from Nairobi along Entebbe road.

The activists want police to exhume the dead bodies who were shot at last Thursday and give them to their respective relatives for a decent burial.
