Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Presidential candidate, Patrick Amuriat Oboi has expressed doubt about President Yoweri Museveni’s directive ordering the eviction of farmers from wetlands.
While campaigning on Tuesday at Nyaruziba and Ntaraga market in Rukiga District, Amuriat, said that it is unfair for Museveni to evict farmers and yet he is allowing Chinese to encroach on the wetlands.
Amuriat wonders why Museveni is more considerate to Chinese than Ugandans.
On several occasions, President Museveni has been warning those who have encroached on wetlands to leave before they are evicted.
The President said that the country is already feeling the effects of encroachment on its natural resources in the form of lakes and rivers bursting banks and flooding.
Amuriat says that once elected there will be a well structured plan on how people can leave wetlands without being forced.
The Former FDC Presidential aspirant, Colonel Dr Kiiza Besigye used the same platform to reveal that part of his “Plan B” is to counter Museveni’s rigging trick come 2021 general elections.
