The National Unity Platform political party under Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has been denied a chance to use the Kololo ceremonial grounds, for their upcoming 4th anniversary on the 22nd of July on Monday ,next week.
The ground which is under the administration of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs through their permanent secretary Kallu Sam, have written to the secretary general of NUP David Lewis Rubongoya a formal letter to NUP denying the party a chance to use the grounds for their anniversary claiming that the ground is under infrastructural development.
The letter further asks NUP to seek an alternative venue for their anniversary celebrations. Could it be that the other parties are afraid of the numbers which will be pulled up by the National Unity Platform?
The leader of NUP responded to the letter saying that he expected the regime to treat NUP like that , In his own words, he posted.
” The criminal regime is very predictable!!!
We just received this letter from Mfitumukiza Kallu Sam, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, informing us that the National Unity Platform cannot use Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, because apparently, there are ongoing infrastructural developments! These same grounds have been hosting different events, including recently when they had an event to apparently recognize 40 years of NRM- in actual sense 40 years of plunder and misrule. Different individuals and other organizations continue to hold concerts and other events there. Effectively, these public grounds are only available for use by everyone who worships Gen. Museveni and his regime!
