The acting chief whip of NRM, David Bahati says that the one-week retreat is scheduled to start on Thursday January 12th at the National Leadership Institute in Kyankwanzi.

The retreat comes at a time when most of the MPs on the NRM ticket are sidelining with the opposition to fight the increasing case of corruption in Uganda government. Bahati says that the retreat will help NRM to tame their members who are sidelining with the opposition to fight the government in power.

The retreat has also come at a time when the country is in a deep financial crisis and hundreds of Ugandans hardly get one meal a day. Some of the voters in Uganda due to poor sanitation, corruption scandals and political unrest in Uganda, want to recall some of the leaders in parliament.

Although he is the deputy organising secretary of the Democratic Party, Sulaiman Kidandala has accepted to work with NRM councilors who are the majority in KCCA.

Out of the 32 district councilors in KCCA, 8 are on Democratic Party ticket, two are on FDC ticket, two on independent and the rest are NRM.

Kidandala who represents Kawempe North at KCCA says that there is no way he could decline to work with NRM councilors who make up the majority in the council.

He was nominated deputy lord mayor of KCCA in December last year by the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago amidst resistance from NRM councilors. Kidandala says that he is willing to work with all the councilors and the government so he asked them to stop fighting him and they concentrate on developing Kampala Capital City Authority.
