In Kabale
Emmanuel Byamugisha Sentaro, the Kabale Municipality Mayor has reaffirmed he is no longer interested in the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) affairs.
The mayor said that he was hounded from the party by its leaders, and has no intention of going back.
I am now independent; those people chased me in broad daylight. I am not their member at all and I will not go back; Id rather stay where I am, working with both the NRM and the FDC, he said.
Byamugisha, who formally served as FDCs Secretary General in Kabale district, made the comments days after Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda said he was working to pull him into the NRM party.
The mayor however, dismissed the allegations that he has been bought off by the ruling party.
He said these rumors were being peddled by his political enemies such as Richard Muhanguzi the former Kabale Municipal Speaker and current Kabale FDC secretary general.
You cannot be the FDC secretary general and know the inner workings of government, he said.
Byamugisha emphasized that he has not yet crossed to NRM and that all his focus is now on working for the people of Kabale.
On his meetings with Prime Minister Rugunda, Byamugisha said that these are always about issues of development of Kabale.
Byamugisha contested in 2016 and won the Kabale Mayoral seat on an independent ticket, after disputing the FDC Primaries which he said were rigged by the then incumbent mayor Dr Pius Ruhemurana.

In Munyonyo

President Yoweri Museveni has termed any attempt by any government on the African continent to block the free flow of goods and services across its borders as suicidal
President Museveni said for a long time, he has warned leaders including Ugandan government officials never to block goods from neighboring countries for political or nationalistic reasons.
Museveni’s comments on Wednesday at the Africa Now Summit in Munyonyo, came just hours after the Ugandan government through Foreign Affairs Minister Kutesa announced that the government of Rwanda had placed a trade embargo on all goods from Uganda.
Kutesa, in an update on the ongoing standoff between Uganda and Rwanda, which led to the closure of the border on February 28, said Rwandan officials were, “only allowing crossing into Rwanda trucks carrying transit goods destined for Rwanda or transiting through Rwanda to the Democratic Republic of Congo and other places.”
“In effect, this is a trade embargo on bilateral trade with Uganda,” the minister said.
President Museveni, treading cautiously not to name any names, warned at the summit that no country can stand by itself economically without trading with her neighbors. Prosperity cannot happen, he warned, without free trade.
Besides free movement of goods, Museveni said African countries must aspire to ensure free movement of Africans citizens across all African borders.
This arrangement, he said however, should not be misused by some governments to antagonize other governments.
The president proposed that all African nationals should commit by treaty, never to use the free movement of people to send spies for instance, to other countries.
Museveni noted that this was once a challenge for the East African Community before it collapsed in the 1970s.
The President recounted that former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin exploited the open borders to send spies to neighboring countries.
“Governments therefore, should never use these structures for anything other than trade.”
