The battle for the soul of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) leaders, Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu and Budadiri west MP Nandala Mafabi has now reached final stages.

Both party stalwarts are generals in the political liberation struggle of Uganda and fight to restore civil liberties, norms and virtues. In Mugisha Muntu, FDC has a military general who risked everything including his life in fighting the Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) government that had reportedly stolen the 1980 elections.

Equally in MP Nandala-Mafabi, FDC and Uganda has a general who risked everything including his own life in putting up his very own body as a human shield to defend and fight selflessly and corruption to ensure the will of voters in Eastern Uganda is not stolen at all cost in his own constituency in Feb 2011 elections.
Both Mugisha Muntu and Nandala Mafabi are indeed living with painful wounds inflicted onto them by live bullets from the late Milton Obote and president Museveni’s regimes of reported anarchy and terror.

These two brave and patriotic politicians are struggling to be entrusted with the FDC Presidency and ultimately Ugandan Presidency come 2016. In your opinion whom should we support?

The MP for PWDs Hajjat Sofia Nalule says that when the government empowers people they are in essence putting them in a position where they can identify and prioritize their needs and lobby the Government and civil society for support in addressing their needs.

The MP Sofia Nalule also decried the Government’s failure to make its buildings and services accessible to all people including the disabled persons.

She pointed out the Ministry of Education headquarters, hospitals, and roads punctuated by numerous potholes. She added that many people also can’t access ATMs , taxis and buses.

Nalule urged concerned people to demonstrate the need to have all public places accessible by refusing to attend meetings organised in inaccessible places or going to places that are inaccessible.

Nalule also called on persons with physical disability to emulate the deaf and the blind who celebrate their national days that attract influential people who advance their causes. Several stakeholders including PWDs, MPs, and representatives of the ministries of Education and Gender, among others attended the conference in Kampala where Nalule reveled his heart.
