There is an apparent war within Uganda opposition parties with some sharp allegations to the effect that some member parties like the Democratic Party (DP) have allied with the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

However the spokesperson of DP, Kenneth Paul Kakande clears that there is no such alliance between DP and NRM. There is no resolution of the National Executive Committee of DP mandating anybody in DP to work NRM for any political reasons.

He says that if there are any individual or group of persons doing it, they are doing it in their personal capacity and the party wishes to state that it will investigate these unfortunate and callous turn of events and such people, if any will be dealt with according to DP laws.

There also seems to be a deliberate effort to depict a war of words between FDC and DP leaders. Kakande says that the DP is not in business of attacking other opposition leaders and members. Kakande says that DP believes that the people in FDC are their friends and the party sees them as allies in the fight against Museveni’s leadership. He challenges FDC and all other opposition parties to concentrate their fire on the liberation struggle.

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.

Traders in Kampalaoperating along Kampala-Gayaza Roadtoday brought work to a standstill as they closed the Road in protest over load shedding.  

The angry demonstrators smashed vehicles while police looks on for sometime. However the police later acted when it gained the numbers of policemen it needed to take action.

The problem with Ugandan demonstrators most of them are militants and they stage tough resistance whenever there is a demonstration.

Moses Kaggwa, one of the demonstrators told our informers that they demonstrated because UMEME, the company in charge of supplying power has failed to serve them to their satisfaction.

The demonstrators threw stones at the police and made illegal blockade along the road. The police in the due course arrested tens of demonstrators and charged them with participating in an illegal assembly.
