The aspiring
candidate for Forum for Democratic Change FDC party president Maj. Gen Mugisha
Muntu has described president Museveni as a greedy leader who does not want to leave
power but rather cares on how to retain power.

Muntu said
Museveni is leading the country to a dangerous crisis if he continues with his
greed than Service delivery for tax payers in the country.
He cited corruption
in the country, un equal distribution of resources, dictatorship by the ruling
party which brings a lot of hatred and anger among the people and this will one
day lead the country to demonstrations like other countries due to poor
leadership.
The former
soldier of Museveni said, the president does not have a transition and
succession plan yet he has counted years to rule the country citing some of the
reasons the country is in crisis right now as, no drugs in hospitals, poor road
systems, people involving in scandals of embezzling billions of shilling and
nothing done about them yet the government collects more than two billion
dollars from the tax payers.
Muntu
intimated that the ruling party is divided with a lot of scandals which shows
the crisis is deepening especially when the leaders are falling apart due to
their selfish interests, greed and self-motivation which ruins good governance.
The strong
FDC man made the statements while addressing FDC delegates of west Nile region
in Arua on Monday. He said it’s time that people voted for a leader who will
change the current status of Uganda and purify and cleanse the country from
what is happening.
He said Uganda
is a country of unity but has currently been misdirected by poor leadership
which he will address once elected to lead of FDC party and the country at
large. Muntu is looking forward to increasing the number of leaders from local
councils to the highest offices so as to influence decision making in terms of
service delivery.
There is
also a plan to replicate election by monitoring elections and engage in
building strong structure by party members since Ugandans are not following
democratic means of electing their leaders which he said has to change if he
goes through as the party president.
Muntu is
intimating to re-brand FDC and create the real image of togetherness so that
people know about FDC from the grass roots and identify to it as a party
because they have less years to capture power.
Though the
candidates are seriously moving around the country convincing delegates to cast
their votes to them, there is a challenge of updating the voters register which
is currently in a bad state and may cause problems by the time of the elections
because some people are threatening to block the exercise if the old register
will be used.
Muntu is
competing against Nandala Mafabi and Ekanya Geoffrey who expressed interest to
be the party President come November 22nd to replace Dr. Kizza
Besigye who stepped down as the party president late last year.
