As voters in Serere County prepare to go to polls tomorrow, President Museveni has warned against voter bribery, saying a mere Shs2,000 handed to the electorate cannot change their welfare in the next five years.
The President, who was yesterday campaigning for the NRM flag bearer, Phillip Oucor, in Ocaapa and Serere Town Council, asked voters to desist from taking bribes from politicians whom he described as useless.
He explained that the answer to the people’s problems is not bribes but the Parish Development Model (PDM) that is premised on a parish as the epicentre of community development.
Meanwhile in ANT camp, Ms Alice Alaso, the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) candidate, who campaigned in Kyere Sub-county and Kyere Town Council, also said the people, who have been tortured on the lake, have not received justice because of the poor leadership.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) party president, Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, while campaigning for ANT’s Alice Alaso on Monday, called for opposition unity.
Bobi Wine, who campaigned alongside Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu, accused the ruling party of rigging all elections.
In the FDC camp, Nathan Nandala Mafabi, the secretary general, who was in Atiira Sub-county campaigning for the party flag bearer, Emmanuel Eratu, said it is hurting that Lake Kyoga has much of its water in Serere but the people are no longer enjoying the fish.
He said to restore sanity in Lake Kyoga, the people of Serere should entrust the county leadership in the hands of Mr Eratu.
