Uganda opposition pressure government on economic crisis

Leading opposition party FDC is advising the government to tremendously slash its expenditure and invest more in production if the country is to get out of the current economic crisis.

According to the information minister in the shadow cabinet who doubles as the party spokes person, Philip Wafula Ogutu, the government should think of investing more agriculture, education and production and stop blaming the opposition for triggering the current crisis with the walk to work protests.

Ogutu alleges that the current crisis was partly caused by the government stealing money from public coffers to finance the party during the February 2011 elections.

He also the opposition is planning to organize massive resistance to compel the government to immediately come up with a solution to the current economic crisis.

Ugandans are currently experienced the worst inflation in over 25 years, and the worst performance of the Uganda shilling against the dollar and major currencies which has seen a huge increase in prices of goods and services in the country.
