By Milton Olupot PRESIDENTIAL candidate Chapaa Karuhanga has said the Vice-president, Speci-oza Kazibwe was duped by conmen to believe that his campaign task force had defected to President Yoweri Museveni's camp. Chapaa told a press conference on Saturday that he was disappointed with Museveni's government intelligence network. "Kazibwe ought to have known who belongs to which camp. She was simply duped and fell prey to such deception," he said. Kazibwe, while addressing a rally in Masaka district last Wednesday, said Chapaa's entire national task force led by the general secretary, Basajja Kabwe Lule, had defected to Museveni's camp. Chapaa denied that Basajja belonged to his camp. He said Basajja had crossed from his side to presidential candidate Col. Kizza Besigye's before nomination. He paraded his national task force. "I am worried about the security of this country. The Govern-ment intelligence network is not working appropriately and can- not properly advise the Government," he said. Chapaa said, "the LRA and ADF rebels are all students of Museveni and Museveni is a Professor of the bush." He predicted that there would be a re-run of the elections and that he would contest agai-nst either Museveni or Besigye. He complained that there were constant death threats fro-m two Besigye agents. Ends
