The former President of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party, Kiiza Besigye, has asked whether Museveni could afford the cost of education if God returned him to childhood in his government, highlighting the need to revamp the funding of education to foster socioeconomic development.
After the long-standing mistrust amongst the Forum for Democratic Change party members that led to the creation of factions inside the party, the People's Front for Freedom (PFF), led by Erias Lukwago, launched a nationwide signature collection campaign aimed at formalizing its registration as a new political party.
Since the eruption of the internal conflicts in the FDC party, the leadership based in Najjanakumbi has been sending an olive branch to the Katonga leaders seeking fertile ground for reconciliation; however, with the EC’s permission, to further the registration of PFF, Katonga leaders seem to be unbothered by the olive branch from Najjanankumbi.
The internal squabbles within KCCA have continued to manifest with Lukwago's refusal to present a comprehensive report about Kiteezi. However Lukwago has since shifted the blame to the Technical wing headed by the Executive Director, stating that it should produce the report before his.
Zahrah Luyirika, the City Council Speaker at the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has said Erias Lukwago, the Lord Mayor of Kampala City, is a disgrace to the KCCA.
On August 27, 2024, a delegation of 12 leaders from Katonga embarked on the preliminary process of registering the PFF Party. On September 4, 2024, the IEC issued a communication to the promoters of PFF stating that it had not complied with the provisions of sections 7(1)(c) and 8 of the Political Parties and Organizations Act 2005.
“We may belong to different political formations, but we should not forget to fight against our biggest enemy, who is President Museveni and his allies. We should overcome fear because dictators are not strong enough, as you may think. Mr. Museveni is like a paper tiger. You will not know how weak he is until you kick him out of powe.”
“Today, you are going to decide on the way forward for the party, and don't lament over the FDC because you have to go back when you know where we are going. We are going to the State House to take power.”
