THE Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has dismissed allegations that its leaders plotted to murder Rubaga North MP Beti Kamya.

William Ssekubulwa, 30, who has been FDC secretary for Kiboga district, recently reported to the Police that he was contacted by two FDC leaders to murder Kamya four months ago.

“This allegation is a creation of the NRM. That is how dictatorial regimes operate. They fabricate stories to divert the opposition,” FDC deputy publicist and acting administrator, Boniface Toterebuka said yesterday.

He said the Police should arrest Ssekubulwa and ask him to produce evidence and if he fails, he should be detained for spreading malicious lies.
Toterebuka assured FDC supporters that the allegation would not affect the party in any way.

However, the party’s vice chairman, Yusuf Nsibambi, doubted Police capability to handle the matter professionally.

“I lost trust in the Police. The people heading it never trained as police officers,” Nsibambi said.

On the NRM liberation day that was cerebrated yesterday, the FDC officials argued there was no reason to celebrate, saying the evils that took NRM to the bush were still in place.

“The major cause of the liberation war was the injustice of vote rigging, but vice has become entrenched in the system. Corruption has also been institutionalised,” Toterebuka said.
“We should instead be mourning for thousands of lives that were lost in several years of war to satisfy the needs of selfish individuals.”

FDC elections chairman Dan Mugarura said the party was in the process of gathering information to be used to sue the Electoral Commission for being partisan and failing to organise free and fair elections.

“Time and again rigging takes place and the courts of law disqualify candidates who have been proved to have rigged. It is now time for us to seek the conviction of the incompetent EC officials,” Mugarura said.
