Go to court, Museveni tells Nyabushozi losers

By Grace Matsiko in Mbarara PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has told parties not satisfied with Nyabushozi parliamentary election results to go to court. The President’s advice is contained in a letter dated September 3, to losers, Lt. Col. Fred Mwesigye and Dr. David Kamukama. State minister for agriculture in charge of animal husbandry Mary Mugyenyi won the seat. Mwesigye, a managing director of the National Enterprises Corporation (NEC) and Kamukama, a Kampala businessman wrote to the President on July 9, 2001 claiming massive rigging in Nyabushozi parliamentary election. “I have received your (letter) of July 9. If what you said in the letter is true, then I encourage you to pursue the legal channel to get redress,” Museveni wrote back. The New Vision on Monday reported that the President had directed Col Kaihura to investigate reports of army involvement in the polls.
