In Sheema   

Sheema district security has been accused of meddling in the ongoing campaigns for the Sheema municipality parliamentary seat.

The accusation was raised by opposition politicians who said the district security team that is supposed to be non-partisan is being used by NRM party officials in the district to persecute them as they canvas support for FDC party flag bearer contesting for area parliamentary seat.

Virginia Plan Mugyenyi (FDC) is facing Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye (NRM) and four other independents that include Misharch Katusiime the Vice Chancellor Ankole Western University, Raymond Kamugisha, Ambrose Mwesigye, and Jonas Tumwine.

Mwijukye Francis the FDC coordinator for Sheema municipality parliamentary campaigns said the manner in which security especially the police is behaving during this campaign period is unprofessional and vowed to petition the Inspector General of Police to prevail over them and reverse the trend.

He also raised a red flag against police officers for accepting to travel in private vehicle driven by NRM supporter who was even donning party Yellow party t-shirt.    

However, the RDC Willy Turyamubona said the presence of security at the campaign venue was to keep peace and order after NRM and FDC flag bearers resolved to carry out their campaigns at Kibutamo trading centre in Rushozi parish.

 Efforts to contact the Greater Bushenyi police spokesperson for a comment were futile

In Kampala

Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister Kahinda Otafiire has attacked political leaders for being pretentious and amassing power and titles and not fighting poverty among the people.
Gen Otafiire, who was speaking at the close of a management training course at Uganda Management Institute (UMI) in Kampala, said it was shameful for the leaders to call themselves excellencies and honourables and yet lead 40 million people who have no shoes, cannot afford three meals a day and have no medicine in hospitals.
“If you are a leader, and lead a country like Uganda and you know the country is backward and you do not tell people they are backward, what are you paid for? Then you tell them, you are wonderful, great…. the fellas cannot afford education, they have jiggers, and people sleep in churches shouting….” Gen Otafiire said.

General Otafiire also said that he became a soldier out of frustration of bad leadership
“But even in the army, I am not a professional soldier. I became a soldier by frustration, just because there was bad leadership in the country, something had to be done and there was nobody willing to do it and that is how I became a soldier,” Gen Otafiire said.

The conference organized by The African Association of Public Administration and Management, an international professional association for African Public administrators and managers.
