NRM secretary General Justin Kasule Lumumba has lashed at Forum for Democratic Change for snubbing the first historic Inter Party Organisation for Dialogue(IPOD)

IPOD is a forum that was formed to promote discussions between various political parties in Uganda.

Lumumba said that FDC secretary General Nandala Mafabi was the first to call for the summit during IPOD council meetings but the party decided not to attend at the last moment.

“This was the only opportunity that FDC had to directly raise their issues to Museveni in front of hundreds of Ugandans,” she said

“Dialogue doesn’t mean one would join NRM, this is a matter of discussing the possible ways of taking this country ahead.”

IPOD was formed in 2009 for political parties with representation in parliament to continuously dialogue on issues of national concern.

Parties with representation in Parliament include; the ruling NRM, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Democratic Party (DP), Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) and Justice Forum (JEEMA).

Kasule Lumumba also said that this was a good chance for all the parties to be represented and dialogue with Museveni on the issues that affect the people of Uganda and provide the possible solutions.

President Museveni attended the meeting in the capacity of chairperson, NRM not as the president of Uganda
