THE New Political Parties' Forum (NPPF) has appealed for Government funding in order to put their membership at the same level with the National Resistance Movement Organisation (NRM-O) and the other organisations in the consultative forum.
The NPPF consists of an estimated 50 organisations that say they have been left out of the political forces consultative forum of Government and the parties. The consultative forum that has been holding unconditional talks with Government includes, among others, Nelson Ocheger's Action Party (AP), the Francis Bwengye splinter group of the Democratic Party (DP) and the Mayanja Nkangi faction of the Conservative Party (CP). On Thursday, the two sides proposed that Government considers funding political parties and organisations.
The traditional political parties of the Uganda People's Congress (UPC), the Democratic Party (DP) and the Conservative Party (CP) have rejected any monetary gains in the course of the negotiations with Government, and set other conditions.The NPPF, however, includes the Uganda People's Congress (UPC) splinter group calling itself the Congress Service Volunteers Party (COSOVOP) led by Saddam Bisase and Prince Kassim Ssimbwa.Others are the People's Initiative for the Total Unification of Africa (PITUA), the Uganda People's Party (UPP) of Alhaj Sulaiman Masaba, and a remnant of the Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM). UPM was originally led by Yoweri Museveni, now national president and de-facto leader of the NRM-O.
NPPF chairman Webster Lukwiya said during a press briefing at National Theatre on Friday that the continued funding of the Movement by Government puts the NRM-O at an advantage over other competitors.Lukwiya said political organisations should be funded by its members.
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
