Ugly confrontations erupted in Kizinda Kigoma town council in Bushenyi District as supporters of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) clashed during a sensitization meeting. These ongoing meetings, organized by the top party leadership at Najjanakumbi, aim to educate party members on engaging in party activities and electing leaders in the Western region.
Jack Sabiiti, the FDC party chairman, mentioned that they have conducted similar sessions in Kanungu, Kisoro, Kabale, Rukungiri, and Rukinga, and they have noted that confusion prevented some districts in these regions from voting. Sabiiti further stated that they plan to proceed to Rwenzori and Alberten regions but expressed surprise at the Katonga group’s attempt to keep party supporters uninformed.
Robert Centenary, the former Kasese municipality MP, recalled that during his independent candidacy in Kasese municipality, the issue of money had not been raised anywhere. He argued that those who are still fighting are the ones familiar with the financial matters, emphasizing that the Katonga group specializes in causing conflicts and destruction.
David Kakama, the deputy secretary in charge of the presidency in the FDC party and LCV councilor for Bumbaire sub-county in Bushenyi District, condemned the acts of hooliganism orchestrated by former leaders to disrupt the party meeting, deeming them unnecessary.
