Mao says that the queen advised Museveni to surround himself with intelligent people. Museveni reportedly informed the Queen that he has surrounded himself with professors, doctors among other intelligent persons and scholars.

The queen reportedly called her prime minister and asked him to answer the following riddle.

”Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?” the prime minister answered that that child is ‘me.’

Museveni reportedly returned to Uganda and asked the following question to his cabinet ministers but none of them laboured to answer the question. Mao alleges that Museveni reportedly went ahead to ask the same question to all his friends in NRM. The DP President says that if Museveni had asked the same question to DP members, none would fail to rightly answer him. So Mao asked Museveni to sack all his ministers, quit politics and let DP takeover power, causing laughter among DP members.

 Members of opposition political parties inUgandaare preparing themselves to vote their respective representatives in the East African Legislative Assembly come the month of April 2012. The chief Legal advisor of the Democratic Party, Mukasa Mbidde says that he is surprised that some people in DP are preparing themselves to vote on an order of court. “For me I am already an MP in East African parliament by court order and not as a subject of DP vote,” he told our informer yesterday. Mbidde says he is already MP because no organ of DP has appellate jurisdiction over the East African Court of Justice. He says that those DP members preparing to verse him should instead lodge an appeal with the court in question in order to over turn the court ruling than dressing up to a contest that never will. Mbidde says that those who know him would have expect him to have launched a deadly campaign if there would be any elections on the subject.

 The applicants in the case were two. DP seeking to have a right to front a candidate by court declaring the current law void. DP was represented by Mbidde. The second applicant was Mbidde seeking for a right to stand as a candidate on the ticket of the first applicant himself represented by his lawyer, Justine Semuyaba. The orders were passed and DP has a right to front a candidate and Mukasa Mbidde has a right to be the candidate.

There are five candidates in the race but the top leadership of DP has to pick one out of the many. The candidates include DP legal advisor, Mukasa Fred Mbidde, former Makindye Division LC3 chairman, Deo Kijjambu, former KCC councilor representing Kisenyi, John Mary Sebuwufu, DP spokesman, Kenneth Paul Kakande and one Anselm Sebuguzi. But Kakande is being pressurized by Uganda Young Democrats to contest.

The issue of EALA elections has divided DP members to an extent that most of them have started fighting and abusing each other. All factions in the race claim that they have a blessing of the party president Norbert Mao. The elections come after the East African Court of Justice ruled that DP and other Uganda opposition parties represented in parliament have a right to have members in East African Parliament (EALA).
