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.

However he suggests that the law should be balanced to protect the people who collect information from suspects which can be used for successful prosecution.

Muluri who was giving views on this bill before the committee, says that if the bill is not balanced, the people responsible for interrogating suspects will fear to do their work well.

The bill was tabled before parliament as a private members bill by Ndorwa east mp Wilfred Niwagaba to make torture a crime.
