INDEPENDENT presidential candidate Nasser Ntege Sebaggala has vowed to trim the cabinet to 25, MPs to 200 and scrap Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) if he wins the 2006 elections.
Currently, the cabinet is composed of 64 ministers and there are 304 MPs. Addressing his first rally at Katwe in Kampala on Thursday after his nomination, Sebaggala boasted of being the most organised candidate.
He claimed that he took the shortest time to get nominated, and did not delay the Electoral commission (EC) officials.
“The EC spent 18 minutes to scrutinise my papers, saying I had set a record. But it took President Yoweri museveni 30 minutes to scrutinise his,†he said. Sebaggala was accompanied by Michael Mabikke.
He amused the crowd when he said all leaders had to be initiated at Katwe. He said he was a political revolutionary who was initiated at 13 years at Katwe, when he fought colonialists in 1958.
“I hit a white man in the eye with a stone and went into hiding in Nakivubo channel,†he boasted.
