The elect
Nandala team for the Forum for Democratic Change presidency wants the party’s
delegates to choose the leader of Opposition ahead of other candidates so that
he uses his parliamentary office to build the party.
Addressing Kasese
district FDC national delegates at the Rwenzori the Gardens Hotel in Kasese
town on Monday, Mr. William Nzoghu the Busongora North MP said the leader of
opposition can easily run affairs of the party.
Mr. Nzoghu
was among the Opposition MPs who had accompanied Mr. Nandala Mafabi to converse
for votes from Kasese for the November 22, FDC presidential vote.
Two other
candidates Maj.Gen. Mugisha Muntu and Mr. Geoffrey Ekanya have also been in
Kasese campaign to replace retiring Dr. Kizza Besigye.
Mr. Nzoghu said
that the NRM has managed to run its day to day activities because Secretary
General Amama Mbabazi is using machinery and budget for his office as Prime
Minister to run the party administration.
Mr. Nzoghu
said that is the reason president Yoweri Museveni has always not listened to
MPs calling for Mbabazi to relinquish the ruling party’s administration on the
expense of being prime minister.
“Amama
Mbabazi has been using resources of the Office of Prime Minister to do NRM
administration that is why president Museveni has not listened to those calling
for his resignation on one post. So, Hon. Nandala will also use his office to
run FDC party because his budget is meant for activities across the country.”
Mr. Nzoghu said.
Mr. Nzoghu
who is also the shadow minister said Mr. Mafabi can also use the budget and
machinery in the office of the leader of Opposition to run the day to day
activities of FDC because he is free to use government cars to tour the whole
country.
Mr. Nandala
Mafabi told Kasese delegates that when elected into party leadership, he will
mobilize and form grass root structures as a winning platform for state power
in 2016.
Mr. Mafabi
said that FDC top leaders have not been focusing on the grass root structures
and polling station management the reason they have seen elections rigged by
the NRM in most parts of the country.
He also
attacked the FDC delegates for failing to condemn messages on their phones
recently “purportedly” indicating that Mr. Nandala Mafabi has sent them each
airtime worth 100000shs.
“People have
been saying Nandala is bad during the campaigns but many of you sat quiet and
did not come out to condemn the messages purportedly from me that I sent you
airtime. This is also bad because I am an experienced leader who cannot bribe
voters for a vote even when they have my sounding CV”. Mr. Mafabi said.
The leader
of the Vote Nandala team Gen. Rubaramira Ruranga said asked delegates to task
the rest of the candidates in the race to also avail documented Curriculum Vitae
and manifestos for scrutiny before the ballots are cast on November 22.
The chairman
of FDC in Kasese district Mr. Saulo Maate asked the contenders for the top job
not to divide the party when the elections are concluded.
