The National Co-coordinator of the Alliance for National Transformation who is also the former FDC party President, Maj. Gen Mugisha Muntu has applauded the FDC party for demonstrating true democratic principles over the past years.
His remarks came as the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party reached 15 years of existence.
“As it stands for 15years, there has been a competition 5 times, 3 for the party presidency, 2 for the party flag bearer which were held internally,” he said.
He noted that this kind of initiative has help FDC to build democratic practice within its self which is a good gesture.
Muntu urged the leadership of FDC to sustain all its achievements and also marked itself around that big win.
“I am glad that within the foundation of FDC what we need is for the country to see to see the achievements,” he said.
He narrated that in 2009, he competed with Dr. Kizza Besigye and lost but that didn’t stop him from supporting him and the same thing also happened in 2010.
“2012 we competed, we were three candidates that is when I won, 2015 we competed with Dr. Kizza Besigye for the flag bearer, he won. I threw the party behind him fully in 2016, in 2017 we competed with Hon. Patrick Oboi he won and I congratulated him and handed over power peacefully,” he explained.
On the issues of the recent cabinet reshuffle, Muntu said there is nothing new that the new cabinet can offer in terms of fighting the increasing graft in the country.
“The depth of corruption, even if Mr Museveni brings the new minister, what changes will they bring? what will the new cabinet offer in terms of fighting corruption,” he queried.
He said if corruption is to be fought in the country, then the system should be reworked fundamentally for any change to take effect.
