He further alleges that in Ibanda district, Rwenzori FM refunded the 1.2 million the inter party candidate Dr. Besigye had paid for air time.

Last week it was reportedly that opposition interparty cooperation candidate had been denied access to media services saying the radio stations had received order from the above instructing them not to allow the interparty presidential candidate to address the public.

Addressing the news conference today, Dr. Besigye said the legal team of   the interparty is working on the grounds to sue these radio stations since the law requires all media houses to give equal opportunity to all contenders for political office.

He says the National Heroes day celebration is just a waste of government’s time and resources because the NRM government doesn’t respect what it fought for.

Latigo who is also the FDC Northern Uganda Vice president and MP for Agago County says the NRM government continues to swindle elections to win elective political positions when electoral multi-practices is one of the reasons that took the NRA to the bush.

Today (9^th June, 2010) Uganda celebrated the National Heroes day. National celebrations were held in Luweero district and president Museveni was the chief guest.

Over 100 people were awarded the Nalubaale medals for their contribution to the bush war struggle including the wife of the FDC president, Hon. Winnie Byanyima.

Latigo says, the national remembrance day would enable Ugandans reflect on their violent past encompassing the UNLF struggles that toppled dictator Idi Amin and NRA bush war that toppled Obote so that a way forward for a better future can be forged.
