THE Uganda People's Congress (UPC) has accused President Yoweri Museveni of being the stumbling block to national dialogue and consensus.
The party made the accusation yesterday during a press conference addressed by its presidential policy commission member and Makerere University don, Afuna Aduula.
UPC was responding to recent accusations by Museveni that it had no political vision for Uganda's prosperity.
"The language Museveni used in The New Vision last Friday was in bad faith and only serves as a sign that he harbours the greatest disdain for Ugandans. Museveni is not serious with national dialogue," Aduula said.
He said Museveni's preference had always been to treat his political opponents as enemies, fascists and primitive.
The don said UPC had a good record in the struggle for independence and had a progressive and nationalistic post independent government.
"May be Museveni has a very short memory when he asserts that he has never violated any iota of the 1995 Constitution. UPC reminds him that after the promulgation of the Constitution, many anomalies have emerged including the illegal creation of the office of Prime Minister," he narrated.
