The donors according to sources in FDC wanted to discuss with Besigye the effects of walk to work protests on the economy, government and the country in general.

The representatives of donors according to sources included those from Norway, USA, Canada, England, and Germany among other super power countries.

Besigye told the donors that he is not the one leading the strikes. He told them that the strike are being ran by a pressure group called Activists for Change and that all people who are suffering under the NRM regime are freely participating in them.

Besigye further said that the constitution of Uganda provides that citizens are free to peacefully demonstrate as long as they don’t harm people who are not participating.

Besigye narrated to the donors all the harassment the NRM government has been reportedly inflicting on opposition supporters around the country. The donors who arrived at Besigye’s home at around 5:00pm left at around 8pm.
