Disaster Minister, Tarsis Kabwegyere

Kabwegyere told Journalists at Parliament that the alliance strategy will not help it win elections because it only aims at getting Uganda President Museveni out of power.

He says the strategy hasn’t been welcomed by Ugandan voters because they are interested in serious alternative solutions that will help solve the many challenges faced by the country.

Kabwegyere also adds that Uganda history doesn’t favour such coalitions. He cited the coalition of Kabaka Yekka and Uganda People Congress of 1962 which resulted into the 1966 Buganda crisis.

This President of Democratic Party (DP) Nobert Mao also recently doubted IPC’s capacity to win the 2011 elections because it lacks workable solutions to Uganda’s political challenges.

Prof. Kabwegyere statements should be taken with a lot of skepticism because the Kenyan opposition Rainbow coalition headed by the current Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki defeated the ruling KANU party to take over the country’s leadership.

The coming Uganda elections are becoming a concern to the general public for fear of degenerating into bloodshed if poorly handled.

Alaso who is also the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) political party Secretary General appealed to Uganda MP’s to pray for other Uganda pressing problems like the biting famine in the Eastern Uganda sub- region of Teso, child sacrifice and burning of schools among others.

The Uganda Minister of Disaster Preparedness, Prof. Tarsis Kabwegyere advised Parliament to take up the issue seriously because, it helps to unite divided leaders when coming together for prayers.

Uganda which is predominantly a Christian country holds a national prayer day on 8^th October of every year.
