Opinion: Mzee is destabilizing the DP party with civil servant appointments and with EALA nominations through the NRM!

dp-31-01-2017

We know that already that the DP Member of Parliament Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi we’re appointed by President Yoweri Museveni to become Minister for Youth in the 10^th Parliament and his cabinet for the 2016-2021. She was a Democratic Party Member and Flag-Bearer for the party in the General Election of 2016.

That was earlier in 2016 that Hon. Kiyingi decided to join hands with the President and his NRM Regime. This week the DP Party has gotten more people joining hands and jumping ship from the opposition party. Not like UPC that has even an offered agreement between Akena and Museveni. Norbert Mao hasn’t been all positive towards the regime and has all rights to be so. He wasn’t even allowed to run for becoming Gulu MP in the 2016 elections.

Therefore the news that DP’s Stella Kiryowa runs for a spot on the NRM ticket for EALA there instead in her own party. She actually paid the NRM Electoral Commission Ush. 2m. on the 30^th January to run there. Therefore Stella doesn’t believe on DP to manage her candidacy and even loyalty towards DP Secretariat to challenge the ruling regime and their candidates.

She isn’t only one leaving the Party of late, even the DP Deputy Chairman, and the one in the wings of Mao. Still, Mohammed Baswaale Kezaala resigned his role on Friday 30^th January as President Museveni has appointed him to become a deputy ambassador to unknown mission abroad as the DP Deputy Chairman is waiting vetting in Parliament, as the Municipal Major of Jinja is now getting ready for his new civil servant duty. This proves that yet another person goes away from the opposition party to work directly for the NRM.

This is three persons who leave the DP for roles and appointments that are close connected to the NRM. They are leaving the party that gave them a ticket and place on the political landscape, still when NRM and Museveni offers solitude and riches they leave the fold.

The folding his hands like "birdman" is Mbidde on the NRM Celebration of their 31st year in Masindi recently! — The folding his hands like “birdman” is Mbidde on the NRM Celebration of their 31st year in Masindi recently!

Even a fourth have acted questionable of late Fred Mukasa Mbidde, the legal advisor of the DP Party we’re also taking part of the 31^st Celebration of the NRM party in Masindi on the 26^th January 2017. Mbidde we’re part of the celebration as part of his bidding for a position and a ticket in the EALA as there is heavy completion to get places in the East African Legislative Assembly as one of 9 members from the Ugandan delegation.

This means that DP has lost two of their members for the EALA Ugandan delegation as the 3^rd Assembly is soon done in EALA, which is based in Arusha, Tanzania. Therefore the honorable men and woman who left their positions to get become part of the Ugandan delegation has risked not only their career, but their whole political afterlife. Doesn’t matter how long they fought in opposition. They have themselves turned into stooges of the NRM.

This is proven with the appointments of Mbidde, Kiryowa and Kezaala; they we’re all part of DP. Mzee now plays the gift-card and the bidding to take away the trusted people of the opposition. Give them a donut and let them loose from the opposition. So they will be loyal to him, because he gave them a place and therefore they should give him loyalty.

So Norbert Mao has lost many of his members, in his close leadership and such who was vital for the DP Party, as Museveni is playing king and offering small appointments to trade their political affiliation away. Therefore being the big-man who could force them to leave the fold and become one of his for small coins of silver. The DP party is therefore forced to pick other candidates and regain trust on other levels. So with these men and woman are not enforcing and showing strength of the opposition party when leaders and MPs are showing loyalty towards Museveni and not their leader Mao. These are the proof that Museveni and NRM are using all means to silence the opposition and even taking away as many as possible from the DP to get them into a chaotic state, instead of giving them time to build a steady structure of leadership. Peace.
