Shadow Cabinet Minister in First Clash

Politics
Opposition Members of Parliament are facing their first internal disagreement.
The Democratic Party has written to the Leader of the Opposition, Ogenga Latigo, accusing his party, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) of personalizing the presentation of the Shadow Cabinet's alternative national budget.
Issa Kikungwe of the Democratic Party wrote to Latigo expressing concern that the colors of the bound Shadow Cabinet budget are FDC colors. He also notes that the alternative budget bears the FDC logo and a picture of the FDC president, Kizza Besigye.
Kikungwe says such presentation is not representative of the Shadow Cabinet, which consists of opposition MPs from a number of different political parties.
//Cue in: iIt was presented #i
Cue out: i# a similar thing.i//
Ogenga Latigo confirms receipt of the Democratic Party complaints and says the matter is being handled internally.
