The shadow minister of Defense also
Member of Parliament for Obongi county Fungaroo kaps Hassan has vowed to
revenge on his smashed car during the USuK elections.
The furious and strong Forum for
Democratic Change man said, the plan and move to vandalize, smash cars, and
causing harm to the opposition leaders who were present during the USuK elections
was well planned by the NRM leaders who only used the ready voters on ground to
do the action.
Fungaroo who addressed a press
briefing at Hotel Pacific on Saturday said, if elections are marred by planned
violence, then there is no democracy in this country and it is better for the
ruling party to declare war and the party that wins takes over government
instead of misusing the name of democracy in the pretext of dictatorship.
“The rowdy Katakwi voters were
shouting, we want Alaso dead and later they went ahead to vandalize and smash
the windows of opposition cars. Some of the supporters were soldiers but
wearing NRM T-shirts as planned by the government” the strong FDC MP said.
According to Fungaroo, police in
Katakwi supported the rowdy voters as the voters over powered them and we were
forced to call police from a neighboring police station to rescue them. This
proved that police were compromised and could not take action independently, he
said.
He confirmed in the press briefing
that three people have been arrested in connection to the violence and as
opposition we have set our lawyers to take the case seriously so that justice
prevails. “We are going to pressure the judiciary to ensure that our case
yields fruit.
“We are going to prepare and cause
violence come 2016 regardless of fear and pretext since it is the NRM leaders
who have started the war through violence. If the nation cannot protect you,
then you have to protect yourself” Fungaroo reiterated.
The shadow minister for defense
noted that the ruling government is strongly depending on the use of guns and
military weapons to threaten the opposition leaders but warned that one day,
the people using these guns will get tired of the ruling system and change the
same guns to end their lives like what happened to late Gadhafi.
Guns don’t fight but people hold
guns to fight, however one day people using the guns will turn to kill the
owners of the gun and justice will prevail” Fungaroo remarked.
End.
