| KAMPALA - The Uganda Peoples Congress party has blamed government for its failure to obtain a party registration certificate on time.
Dr James Rwanyarare, UPC's Presidential Policy Commission chairman, raised the complaint during a telephone interview with Sunday Monitor at the weekend. The Constitutional Court recently set April 17 as the deadline by which all political parties should have registered. Failure to do so will mean that such a party ceases to legally exist. Rwanyarare said: "You know they have been saying they don't have money, then the government bureaucracy." UPC submitted their forms to the Registrar of Parties on January 10, 2005 for verification. A certificate should have been issued at least a month after that. Rwanyarare said: "We are not worried about the certificate because we shall get it. We are now moving to the countryside and I have already sent people there to start campaigning."
