Security agencies in Kampala are reportedly spying on Col. Kiiza Besigye’s home in Kasangati, in Kampala, headquarters of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), and Besigye’s up country home in Rukungiri. Besigye is the president general of FDC and he has contested for president thrice and lost the polls.

A source in security tells us that the cameras were installed five years back. The Vice president of FDC, Salaam Musumba says that FDC and Besigye are aware that UPDF and other security agencies are spying on them.

She says that the surveillance on Besigye’s home and FDC villas is now an open secret among Ugandans. Musumba however says that this invades peoples rights to privacy. Musumba further urges Uganda’s security agencies to leave Besigye and other opposition politicians in peace.

Police spokesman Asuman Mugyenyi however says he is not aware about the presence of spy cameras at Besigye’s home.

A source at FDC intimated to our informer that Besigye’s party has not received donor funding since March. We are told that some leading donors of opposition parties in Uganda are not happy by the way FDC performed in last February general polls. Besigye has unsuccessfully contested thrice for president.

A source sitting on FDC National Executive Committee tells us that the money the party has been basing on to run its activities has been coming from Besigye as an individual.

It further explains that some of the donors give Besigye money as an individual and he is free to divert it to party activities or not. One of the leading FDC sponsors is conservative parties in US and Europe.
