If the Lord does not build a house,those who build labour but in Vain!
So before the first cock crow has been heard,already the Failed Democratic
Coalition is living true to many of our erstwhile predictions. It is already reminiscent
of the bible story of the Tower of Babel builders.
Lets keep our ears to the ground to hear more from this what Professor Ssemakula
calls media made Opposition Leaders.
The article below is just a tip of the iceberg of the entity that should be rightly called:
Failed Deception Colluders but prefers to masquerade as a democratic forum without an iota of democratic pedigree.

Besigye dismisses Musumba’s claims

The Forum for Democratic Change leader, Dr Kizza Besigye, has distanced himself from claims by his deputy that the leader of the opposition in the Eighth Parliament has already been identified.
Besigye, who insisted the party had not formally decided on the matter, said Ms Salaamu Musumba's comme nts that Agago MP Morris Ogenga Latigo would lead the opposition were "personal".
He said he agreed with the position of his presidential envoy, Ms Beti Kamya, who told Daily Monitor that FDC would present "a competent and well deserving person" as leader of the opposition at the right time.
"Yes, she must have been talking as Musumba; FDC has not yet decided," Besigye said. Rather than choosing a leader of the opposition, FDC is still trying to push for a re-run of the elections, whose results they have rejected and lodged a court petition to nullify them.
Kamya had earlier, in a telephone interview, said Musumba did not speak for the party and that "we have not decided whether support from northern Uganda would be the only consideration for becoming the leader of the opposition."
Musumba, who spoke to Sunday Monitor on Thursday said Latigo would take the job because he represents a much larger and loyal constituency in the north. "We have pr otocol and it is not an issue of 'if'," Musumba said.
"We know who it will be. It will be Ogenga Latigo. Yes, Sam Njuba is a deputy president too but you must look at the support we got from northern Uganda. You must give it to them."
Kamya, however, said it was "dangerous" to start marginalising some groups because they did not support the party in the February 23 elections.
"Njuba has made many sacrifices including arguing cases for the party since 2001 at no cost." She said, "Prof. Ogenga Latigo is highly regarded in FDC as are other FDC MPs."
