DP seems to benefit first in EALA after one of its leaders, Mukasa Fred Mbidde got a place in EALA house, and they have easily moved in to form an alliance with CHADEMA, Tanzania’s leading opposition party which has 50% of MPs in Tanzanian parliament.

Our informers in Arusha tell us that there were secret meetings the whole of last week between the DP president, Norbert Mao and the CHADEMA’s leadership in Arusha to form strategies for power takeover in the coming elections in both countries that is Uganda and Tanzania.

It is believed that CHADEMA is the wealthiest opposition party in East Africa with its president general having over 10 planes of his own. Therefore we are told that DP seems to benefit from this alliance more.

We are told by sources in NRM that this was done to weaken president Museveni’s influence in the region/ East African Community.

The rebels in NRM successfully allied with EALA members in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mukasa Fred Mbidde’s group from Kampala.

Now we have heard that Museveni is coughing after his boys Kiwanda Suubi of Mityana allied with Buganda caucus to bring in Magret Nantongo Zziwa. Following Byamukama’s political failure in EALA, Museveni has also summoned Kampala Central MP Mohammad Nsereko to explain his role in this whole saga.

Mbidde says that DP went to court because NRM and FDC had connived as the only political parties in Ugandan parliament to represent Ugandans in EALA for the past 10 years.

“Therefore Mafabi has no moral authority to accuse DP of connivance with NRM because DP sued both FDC and NRM,”  Mbidde says.

Speaking to our informers in Arusha this morning, Mbidde said at least now all shades of political opinion in Uganda parliament have been somehow well presented in EALA and Mafabi must respect this!

She had a black bag that was lying near her body. Late Justine Nalugya was a resident of Kamuli zone in Kireka, Wakiso district. The legal Advisor of DP, Mukasa Fred Denis Mbidde says the members of opposition want the government to release a report about Nalugya’s death detailing what the government can do in future to curb suicide.

Central Police Station commander, James Ruhweza says that the police is not yet in position to release a report because the information about the deceased was still scanty. He says the police have pictures and the sketch of the place Nalugya died. Her body was taken to Mulago hospital for a postmortem report.

The policeman says the preliminary   report indicates that arrived at the 14th Floor of the building that accommodates the NSSF offices and registered in the visitors’ book at about 11.00am in the names of Olivia Nalugya (although it was later discovered that she was Justine Nalugya). According to the visitors’ book, Nalugya wanted to meet some one called Peter. Nalugya according to details at the police stood near a balcony at the 14th Floor, looking down. She then looked up before throwing down her bag, shoes and immediately after pulled her skirt up and jumped to her death. There was a big bang and she did not say a word or move. The whole place was littered with brains, meat and blood.

The Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) ms Jenifer Musisi Semakula is a member of the ruling National Resistance Movement as well as a civil servant. As you may know the political hatred in Uganda amongst political parties is high, no one would expect that Ms Musisi would sit in a corner with the leaders of opposition Democratic Party and talk business.

But this happened. The president of DP Norbert Mao, Legal Advisor Mukasa Denis Fred Mbidde and DP secretary general Mathias Nsubuga on Tuesday met with Ms Musisi and they discussed issues concerning reconciliation and development of Kampala.

The meeting took place at City Hall building inKampala. Top on the agenda was to forge a good working relationship between Musisi and Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Lukwago did not attend the meeting because he is out of the country on official assignment. Ms Musisi told the DP squad that she has no personal vendetta with Lukwago. She explained that it’s Lukwago who seems to have a personal hatred on her. Mbidde says that after they have got the side of Musisi, they will also summon Lukwago to give them his views and after they try to reconcile the rivalKampalaleaders.

Opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has reportedly recruited youth with a purpose of burning markets, parishes of kingdoms and other places of public interest.

The security agencies also allege that FDC has recruited youth who are undergoing a military training in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The aim of the garrison being trained in DRC is to over throw president Museveni’s government.

Security minister Muluri Mukasa says that the security network has continued to receive intelligence reports indicating that FDC has been and is still nursing plans of over throwing Kampala government by use of arms and to burn markets.

Currently the government is holding several people in connection with plans to form rebel groups that will fight to over throw NRM government.   However Judith Akello, the MP for Agago says that FDC is a political party in Uganda which doesn’t believe in violence as a means to change government.
