He said that although any fee or donation will be accepted, the fundraising drive seeks to raise Shs1.17trillion and this can be achieved if at least 12million Ugandans contribute ten thousand shillings to their fundraising team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presidential hopeful, Robert Kyagulanyi in his remarks said that is this a very small price to pay for the country\u2019s freedom and urged all their well-wishers to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyagulanyi further said that a number of people are joining the party with intentions far from the struggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have noticed a number of people joining us with strange motives other than the struggle, I call upon all of you to be vigilant of such people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bobi Wine said he is happy with the different members joining NUP and those who are expected to join them in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He, however, called upon whoever makes such a move to completely commit to NUP rather than remain committed elsewhere and use NUP as a position of benefit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAccording to the laws of Uganda you can only belong to one political party, therefore we will not encourage members who have one leg in NUP and one leg in another. I have said it before that you are either a member of NUP or you are not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bobi Wine said the party respects and continues to work together with all other political formations seeking the change in Uganda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have a clear understanding with comrades whom we are working with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that whoever joins NUP should be clear on where they stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou should be clear about where you stand. We can still work with you from where you are, if you join NUP kindly be with NUP, you can not belong to two political formations, that will help ease the confusion that has been ongoing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
