SOROTI CITY
Former president of the FDC party, Dr. Kizza Besigye has promised to rally Ugandans in a demonstration against the ruling government over increasing prices of commodities that have made millions of Ugandans to cry out.
Dr. Kizza Besigye said this yesterday, 25th July 2022 in Opiyai Ward in Soroti City East where he was campaigning for FDC’s Attan Moses Okia ahead of the by-elections.
”I was elected many times but couldn’t be announced yet everybody knew that I had won, in 2016 when they couldn’t announce me as the winner, I announced myself, got arrested and taken to Karamoja and a case of overthrowing government was charged against me but up to now that case is out, a vote cannot remove Museveni, we need to come together and show him that enough is enough,” Besigye said as the crowd cheered.
”After this election, we want Attan and all these people to join other Ugandans and say enough is enough, they passed a budget saying it has the Parish Development Model, that budget has 2 billion shillings spent in Mr. Museveni’s home every day when people are dying in Karamoja of hunger, they are bringing you posho and beans during the campaigns, receive it because that is your money but on the polling day, vote for Attan,” he added.
”We should show Mr. Museveni a red card and prove to him that we are tired, imagine the whole State is here to campaign for candidate while wasting tax payers money, they have deployed huge security around the city, lets a shame them by voting for Attan,” he added.
