The FDC President Col. Kiiza Besigye has told members in this closed door NEC meeting that on 8^th November this year the FDC chairman for Kampala , Livingstone Kizito told him that spies had penetrated into the party. Day after, other members of FDC also from Kampala wrote to him that it was Kizito who was a government spy and that he frequents statehouse.

A source in FDC has told us that the party NEC has resolved Kizito is no longer responsible for presiding over any matters concerning FDC affairs in Uganda

 The FDC national executive committee has also accused Kizito of attempting to close the FDC Kampala office.

The members of FDC are now divided into tribal factions with the northerners accusing the Baganda and Banyankole of being spies in FDC while the Baganda are accusing their counterparts from Rukingiri (Bakiga) of being spies.

 One of the FDC activists in FDC Kampala office, Janny Nakasolya was over heard yesterday quarreling with her colleagues in the party that she is tired of being branded a spy. Nakasolya says that when FDC leaders from Rukungiri organise parties and they invite RDCs orUgandagovernment ministers as guest of honour, no one calls them spies but when the party supporters in Buganda and northern Uganda do the same the party president Col. Kiiza Besigye and his closest cohorts in the party calls them spies.

Another FDC activist, Farida Nakabugo says that when recently Nakasolya visited the former Vice President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya she was branded a spy yet there are many FDC leaders who secretly meat state officials at night and they are not called spies.

Recently the FDC leadership inKampalasuspended the party chairperson ofKampala, Livingstone Kizito on allegations that he and the woman MP forKampala, Nabilah Sempala ‘sell’ the party youth to statehouse. Both Nabilah and Kizito deny the allegations against them.

The FDC official in charge of the youth inBuganda, Sheikh Ibrahim Kasozi says that the problem with some FDC members is that when a lower party cadre gets known in government circles that person automatically becomes a spy but when a senior FDC official befriends the state that relationship becomes normal.

He explains that this is the reason why most FDC youth inBugandasupports Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu instead of Besigye because Muntu doesn’t believe in reports of spies. Kasozi says that Muntu has been telling them that even spies have a right to be FDC members.

Although the next presidential elections will take place in 2016, FDC says it wants to begin the process so early such that by the time 2016 clocks in every Ugandan knows who is who in FDC and who is the best suitable candidates.

The people still interested in running for president on FDC ticket include Col. Kiiza Besigye, Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu, and Opposition leader in parliament, Nandala Mafabi, and Chwa MP Reagan Okumu among others.

Kampala FDC supporters, according to sources have been tasked to organize rallies in which the people expecting to run for president on the party ticket will stand and sell themselves to the public.

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.
