For those of you who still believe in Yoweri Museveni so called transition to mutiparty politics in Uganda..he is a clue..were we are heading. As for me and many outher Ugandans, we have now pretty much given up on this so called  " poltical transitions "...Indeed Museveni leaves many Ugandans with no option, other then using the option Museveni and his sycophants understand. Indeed, like I have always pointed out Museveni and his Sycophants will be and must be held accountable and responsible  for any calamity which  will surely befall upon our beloved nation.
 
Peace fellow citizens.

The coordinator of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Bwambala, sub-county, Rukungiri district has been arrested.

Mr Christopher Turyahikayo was found wearing an FDC party T-shirt, which authorities said was a rebel uniform.

Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu, the national FDC Coordinator for Organisation and Mobilisation, said Turyahikayo was arrested by the Rukungiri District Internal Security Officer (Diso), Mr Asuman Bwogi and the Sub-county Internal Security Officer, Mr Kajuna, on Wednesday at Bwambala trading centre.

"They told him that he was under arrest for wearing a rebel uniform," Muntu said on Friday.

He said the FDC head office in Kampala had protested to the President's Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Uganda Human Rights Commission, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director General of the Internal Security Organisation.

"How can you arrest someone for wearing a party T-shirt? We would like to appeal to the national security organs to send specific information to their officers across the country to act responsibly not to harass members of the opposition because the country has opened up for multipartism," Muntu said in a protest letter.

He said by yesterday (Friday) Turyahikayo's fate and his whereabouts were still unknown.

An FDC official, Ms Ingred Turinawe, told The Monitor from Rukungiri that Turyahikayo's relatives came to the FDC office in Rukungiri after failing to get him at Bwambala Police Station.

"We can't trace him. We don't know where he is; he is neither at Rukungiri Police Station nor at Bwambala Police Post," Turinawe said on telephone.

The Officer in Charge of Rukungiri Police Station, Mr Stanley Rwamire, said they did not have Turyahikayo's name in their records.

"We don't have communication to that effect. That name is not recorded anywhere in our files. That man could either be in Bwambala police cells or he was released," Rwamire said.

The Divisional Police Commander for Rukungiri, Mr Okot Obon, refused to comment saying he was at a workshop in Mbarara.
