THE opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has distanced itself from the ongoing political transition process insisting that it is a fragrant conspiracy against democracy in Uganda, serving no other purpose other than entrenching a Museveni hegemony in our country. The statement is contained in a communication from Dr Chris Kibuuka, FDC External Coordinator for South Africa to the partys acting chairperson Ms Salaam Musumba, a copy of which Daily Monitor saw. Musumba, also MP for Bugabula South, told Daily Monitor yesterday: In the South African meeting, we agreed to defy anything that is illegitimate. According to the communication, the position was reached in a meeting in South Africa that we didnt recognise any transitional laws as enacted by the 7th Parliament. Besigye attended The meeting among others resolved to defy government through civil disobedience as a way of expressing their feeling against what they called a dictatorial regime. We have learnt of actions of the 7th Parliament manipulated and stage managed by President Yoweri Museveni and Cabinet, which virtually culminated in defiling of article 105(2) of the Ugandan Constitution 1995. The article restricts presidential term limits to two, and is one of those proposed for amendment. |
