A source at the FDC villas in Najjanankumbi has also confirmed that they have got the money from Malaysia and Norway and this source was quick to deny that it was going to be used in running anti government campaign.

“It is true we received 2.5 million US dollars from Norway and Malaysia last week respectively and we shall use this money to mobilize our supporters and members around the country,” a source says.

Sheikh Ibrahim Kasozi, the FDC official in charge of Youth affairs says that it is normal for a party like FDC to receive grants from abroad so this money should not raise the eyebrows of the CMI.

We have been told that the National Resistance Movement (NRM) working hand in hand with intelligence networks have embarked on conventions in Ntungamo and western Uganda in general aiming at sensitizing the people there not to join riots and anti government activities organised by FDC. This comes after a CIM report indicated that some FDC members were secretly mobilizing the people of western Ugandan to rise up and vividly oppose Museveni’s 26 year old rule.

We hear that the conventions organisers have been fully facilitated and the attendance wherever they go is promising. A source in CIM has told this journalist that NRM has already mobilized the people of Rukungiri, Bushenyi, Ntungamo and Kanungu districts among others not to oppose the government.

Another source at the NRM head offices in Kampala tells us that they have mainly targeted LCI chairpersons, NRM mobilizers and opinion leaders to help the ruling party curb the anti government influence being spearheaded by Besigye and his FDC activists in western region.
