The Bukomansimbi District DP Executive
Committee convened on Friday and
resolved to suspend the leaders citing disloyalty to the party.
Joseph Kamuli, the Bukomansimbi district DP Organizing
Secretary, accuses the implicated officials for double dealing between DP and
the ruling National Resistance Movement-NRM party.
He says despite holding elective party positions within DP
structures, the implicated party officials have become disloyal to DP in favor
of NRM.
According to
Kamuli, the affected leaders are openly canvassing political support for the
Youth State Minister Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi, who harbors intentions of
unseating the incumbent Bukomansimbi district woman member of parliament and DP
flag bearer, Veronica Nanyondo.
He explains that DP party leadership in the
district has summoned the implicated officials to give them a fair hearing
before a final decision is taken.

Cue out: ……gyambaza muntu.”//
Moses Lugemwa,
another DP leader accuses their colleagues of deliberately distancing them from
party activities which raises suspicions.
John Bosco Kasenge, one of those facing dismissal from the
party, says they are not moved by what he described as illogical threats.
He says they have a right to belong anywhere they want until when
the campaign period is declared open by the Electoral Commission.
