A source on FDC National Executive Committee has told us that UMEME has disconnected them over a debt of 600,000 Uganda shillings while NWSC cut off the service over a debt of only 200,000 shillings.

We are told that FDC officials abused the UMEME and NWSC staffs of being used by the government to disconnect them because the workers of these different companies arrived at the same time.

However we have heard that the FDC leaders have resolved to clear all their water and electricity arrears by tomorrow because today their accountant was out of office.

The Kampala FDC offices are located on City House building in Kampala. The managers of the building, ‘Crane management’ have already notified FDC about the move to close their offices and have their property thrown out over failure to pay rent for the last six months. It would be the third time landlords to close FDC offices in a period of less than four months.

 The first FDC office to be closed was that of Entebbe and last week the FDC office in Iganga was closed after the party failed to clear a debt of 2.4 million shillings which had accumulated as rent arrears. However one of the FDC chiefs in charge of Buganda region, Ibrahim Kasozi says that all the problems facing FDC Kampala offices would be solved soon.

He assured us that the offices would not be closed as the whole situation is under control. We hear that all the money meant to pay rent for FDC offices were used in last year’s general elections. By James Okello

Kidandala has been occupying a fully fledged residential house in Kawempe and failed to pay the land lord his rent amounting to 1,500,000 million shillings.

We hear the house which Kidandala has been renting belongs to Bashir Kalimu, a business tycoon in Kampala .

Pursuant to section 3 of the distress for rent act and chief magistrate’s court at Nabweru authorised the bailiffs to attach the lord mayor’s property.

The properties attached included a fridge, carpet, sofas, dinning tables and side boards among others. By the time the bailiffs invaded the mayor’s home, he was not around.

However, we hear that when he was informed about the development, he came immediately and cleared the debt and the costs of the bailiffs.
