NAKASONGOLA district leaders have said they want President Yoweri Museveni to contest for another term of office in 2006.
“We have no problem with the third term. We are only waiting for an opportune moment and we will definitely back Museveni to stand again,†the LC5 chairman, Chris Bagonza, said during Independence Day celebrations in the district.
The function was held at Nakasongola RC Primary School. Bagonza said the district leadership also wanted the Movement system to stay.
Bagonza criticised politicians opposed to the third term, saying they were encroaching on the powers of the electorate.
“Let the people be left with the power to decide the person they want,†he said.
He said the population, especially the youth, were unduly excited over political parties because they never saw their ugly side.
The RDC, Margaret Barihuki, said it was only after the Movement came to power that the word ‘independence’ became meaningful to Ugandans.
Barihuki enumerated the achievements of the NRM administration, including decentralisation, provision of social infrastructure and maintenance of peace.
She, however, said the majority of the people were yet to attain economic independence due to rampant poverty and unemployment, especially in the rural areas.
