Chaos ensued at the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) headquarters in Najjanankumbi where the party is set to hold its national council meeting.
According to FDC head of security, Sadiq Amin, a group of youths made their way to the party premises claiming they were on a mission to take out ‘goons’ before they were countered by another group at the party offices.
Meanwhile, as top leaders of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) today converge at the party headquarters for a meeting which observers say will determine its very future, the competing factions continued to take pot-shots at each other.
The party spokesperson, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda joined deputy president for Buganda, Erias Lukwago in accusing party president Patrick Oboi Amuriat and Secretary General Nathan Nandala Mafabi of doctoring a key report on an alleged multibillion shilling bribery scandal in which they are reportedly implicated.
With the report likely to be top of the agenda at the highly anticipated meeting, both Mafabi and Amuriat were quick to refute the latest allegation levelled against them.
Amuriat said it is an insult for the officials, whom he said participated in selecting the special elders’ body which looked into the bribery matter, to turn around and undermine their own creation.
Denying claims that he hosted a dinner for delegates, Mafabi said today’s meeting will be peaceful, before also making his own claim, alleging that the Ssemujju-Lukwago side have mobilised over 4,000 members to disrupt it.
