Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) is planning to replace its leader Col. Kiiza Besigye in July this year. Besigye has been in the political rhyme of FDC for over eight years.

The leadership of FDC has already drawn a roadmap for choosing a person to replace Kiiza Besigye. Besigye announced that he was set to leave the post after three unsuccessful runs for President of Uganda.

The FDC secretary general, Alice Alaso, recently presented the roadmap for transitioning from Besigye to a new FDC leader perhaps Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu or opposition leader Nandala Mafabi to two of FDC’s top organs- the management committee and the National Executive Committee.

The two committees have a duty to adopt the roadmap. Alaso says that the dates for a meeting to replace Besigye are not yet known.

She says that the commuter taxi drivers have no choice but to pay the 120,000 shillings if they want to remain in Kampala. Ms Musisi says that she will not be moved by the strikes the taxi drivers stage. The taxi drivers suggest that they are capable of paying only 70,000 shillings to the council.

Ms Musisi says that the request of the taxi drivers is unacceptable and whoever doesn’t want to pay 120,000 shillings should better leave the taxi business.

The KCCA director says that the council will impound all the taxis whose owners have not paid the tax rates.  Ms Musisi says that the new taxi fees will be enforced by UTODA and the interim taxi management committee.
