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.
