“Museveni has been speaking about democracy, but where is that democracy he speaks of if he can't tolerate those who criticise his government? What is happening in villages undermines the same democracy he talks about,” Ssenyonyi said.
The competition aims to encourage every Ugandan to confidently sing the National Anthem while promoting the use of Kiswahili and increasing appreciation of the East African Community anthem as Uganda advances regional integration.
"I have worked with Dr. Kizza Besigye, and he believes in working with everybody in the struggle against the life presidency and family rule. I think Bobi Wine believed in himself and his group, and they thought that only they would do the work; and everyone had to go home," Ssemujju said.
“We have all the reasons to believe that Lukwago has been arrested by the CDF because he had filed several applications since Besigye was arrested in Nairobi, including that on human rights enforcement, which Justice Baguma endorsed for hearing on June 30th, 2026, at the High Court,” Ssemuju said.
Government has halted enforcement of its controversial trade order after mounting pressure from traders, religious leaders, and lawmakers, pausing evictions of street vendors and kiosks as consultations begin.
The suspension, announced by State Minister David Bahati, follows sharp criticism in Parliament over the handling of the crackdown, with authorities now promising a more balanced and consultative approach before any rollout resumes.
The mystery of Dr. Besigye's disappearance in Nairobi comes on the back of 36 FDC Katonga members arrested in Kisumu four months ago and clandestinely handed over to the government back home.
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.
“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.”
