Lukyamuzi, who is also the MP for Lubaga South, adds that Museveni abused state funds through Corruption, nepotism, extravagancy, buying teargas and Fighter jets.

He says that Museveni’s ministers have defrauded the state. Some ministers in Museveni’s government such as Amama Mbabazi, Sam Kuteesa, Khiddu Makubuya and Syda Bbumba were recently asked to resign over corruption. And indeed some of the ministers have resigned.

The leaders of opposition parties are through with the list of candidates they want to represent them in EALA. The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has chosen its iron lady Salaam Musumba, and former MP Augustine Ruzindana to be its candidate for EALA. The Uganda Peoples Congress has sent Cecilia Nyakait, Okello Okello and Dr. Olara Otunnu.

Justice Forum has picked Asuman Basalirwa; Conservative Party (CP) picked Suzan Nakawuki while the Democratic Party is planning to pick Norbert Mao and former legislator, John Kawanga. Others still in the race on DP side are Mukasa Fred Mbidde, Kenneth Paul Kakande, Deo Kijjambu, John Mary Sebuwufu, and DP deputy Secretary General, Vincent Mayanja.

The parliament of Uganda will seat in April to vet the opposition party representatives. After the vetting exercise the MPs will vote two people from the opposition shades to represent the opposition opinion in EALA.

We have heard from very many supporters of A4C in different parts of the country requesting the A4C leaders including Col. Kiiza Besigye (FDC), Masaka Municipality MP Mathias Mpuuga and MP Betty Nambooze (DP) among others to register A4C as a political party in Uganda.

This is because A4C has managed to bring together members of different political shades like FDC, Justice Forum, DP, Conservative Party and SDP among others.

Ugandans who believe in activities of A4C argue that it is only A4C which can unite all political forces in Uganda a thing which the now defunct Inter-party Cooperation (IPC) failed to do. So when in 2016 you see A4C as one of the registered political parties/organisations in Uganda don’t raise your eye brows and developed high blood pressure!!!

Propaganda is spreading in some political parties inUganda, especially in the Democratic Party (DP), Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC), Conservative Party (CP) and Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) that there will be no general elections in 2016 because president Museveni’s government would be topped in 201.

FDC president Col. Kiiza Besigye has told his supporters in Najjanankumbi (Kampala) today that all political scenes indicate that Museveni’s reign will end in 2013. President Museveni’s fourth term of office as President of Uganda ends on May 12^th 2016.

Presidential Secretary Tamale Mirundi has reffered to the romours in political parties as ‘nosence’ saying it is meant to mislead the public. The rumour has it that Ugandans would compel parties to choose between Besigye or Norbert Mao of DP or any other opposition politician to ruleUganda.

Mirundi further advises leaders of political parties to circulate developmental and real ideas that will promoteUganda’s image andAfricain general.

 The secretary generals of opposition parties such as DP, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Jeema, Conservative Party and Uganda Peoples’ Congress (UPC) have called for applications from suitably qualified members with intent to vie for the above positions as candidates. The Secretary General of DP, Mathias Nsubuga says that the position will go for the same qualifications as those of Uganda MPs.

Nsubuga says that his party DP needs to demonstrate and protect its track record of success in as far as brain power representation is concerned. Candidates require excellent verbal communication skills together with the determination to succeed in a competitive scrutiny before the parliament ofUganda.

Some of the candidates vying for the post on DP ticket are Mukasa Fred Denis Mbidde, Deo Kijjambu, John Mary Sebuwufu, Kenneth Paul Kakande, Anselm Sebuguzi and Xervia  Katabarwa.

However DP is more likely to nominate Mukasa Mbidde as its representative in EALA because he was the one who single handedly asked the East African court of justice to allow opposition parties represented inUgandaparliament to send representatives in EALA.

The Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) a youth wing of the Democratic Party has indicated its intentions to join the opposition alliance of Inter-party cooperation (IPC) in preparation for the coming 2011 Uganda General elections.

The Uganda currents political parties under the IPC alliance are JEEMA, FDC, UPC and Conservative party.

UYD leader, Susan Abbo (NV)

The head of UYD Susan Abbo told journalists in Kampala today (Friday, 25^th June 2010) that the decision was unanimously supported by the UYD leadership.

Abbo who is also the former Makerere University Guild president says that the alliance provides the best opportunity for Uganda opposition to win the Uganda coming 2011 general elections.

UYD decision comes after another faction of Uganda’s oldest political party DP headed by Dr. Lulume Bayiga also resolved to join the IPC alliance.

The Democtic Party headed by the Northern Uganda Gulu district LCV chairperson Nobert Mao, refused to join the IPC alliance arguing that it risks weakening the Uganda political opposition.

This comes as good news to Uganda opposition as it prepares the ground to defeat the ruling National Resistance Movement Party (NRM) headed by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in the coming Uganda 2011 elections.
