Opposition Youth threaten to demonstrate over Museveni car

News
Opposition youth in Busia district, are planning to demonstrate over a car donated to them by President Yoweri Museveni.

The youth from Forum for Democratic Change and Forum for Integrity in Leadership, are protesting their exclusion from managing the omnibus for generating income.

John Obuli, the Eastern Uganda Youth Coordinator for Forum for Integrity in Leadership claims that President Yoweri Museveni pledged to give them a car in 2007.

Obuli says that when the vehicle reached Busia the RDC Robinah Nabanja gave it to NRM youth. However Nabanja insists the omnibus is a gift from the President to NRM youth thanking them for mobilizing support for the party.

She urges the opposition youth to crossover to the NRM if they want to benefit from the project.

The youth are however not taking the issue lightly. Iddi Ouma, the Busia district FDC Youth Coordinator says that they are planning to demonstrate to force Nabanja to unconditionally handover the vehicle. He says that they also want the RDC transferred from the district.
