'UPDF Won't Topple My Govt'

By Nicholas Kajoba PRESIDENTIAL candidate Aggrey Awori has assured his supporters in Kayunga district that the Uganda People's defence forces (UPDF) will not topple his government once elected president. "I want to assure you all my supporters that the UPDF will not topple my government once I am elected as president because it is a people's army,'' he said. Awori, while addressing rallies at Nazigo and Kayunga town on Saturday, also said he would scrap cost-sharing in the health centers, saying, "it was a dreadful and painful phrase which mocked the poor." Awori said if elected president, he would hold peace talks with rebels fighting the Government. He attacked candidates Kizza Besigye and Yoweri Museveni, saying they were the ones responsible for the violence in the country. Ends
