Some NRM MPs have attacked the president for holding meetings as the way of dividing the party on issues of the constitutional amendment and Mabira give away.

The mps lead by Lwemiyaga county mp Theodore Sekikubo said that the president has been holding night meetings with some NRM mps soliciting for their support on what has been opposed by the majority mps during the caucus.

Sekikubo said that the proposals that are being put forward are matters of national concern and therefore they should be discussed in the open. He says by the president choosing a few members means that the president is using divide and rule which will not work in the modern society.

According to Kampala central MP Muhammad Nsereko the president is using the wrong approac. He says that trying to divide parliament into groups means that the president is becoming an enemy to the people. He says that Uganda is faced with a lot of problems and therefore its only unity in parliament that can easily help get solutions.

Ndorwa east MP Wilfred Nuwagaba expressed concern that the tricks which were used to lift the term limits are coming again. He however cautioned those behind the move to stop immediately saying that Ugandans are ready to do anything to defend themselves. He pointed out the Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi as the person behind the move.

Rubanda East MP Henry Musasizi called upon the president to come out and show his side saying that matters of Mabira and bail are national issues which do not require secret meetings.

He says that the president should come out and explain whether he is doing whatever is being done to divide the caucus or if they are done behind his back.

Rwampara county mp Vincent Kyamadidi said that it is only prayers should help some people to understand the truth on Mabira and bail. He warned NRM against clicks saying that they will be a basis of its down fall.

Meanwhile the vice chairperson of the NRM caucus David Bahati acknowledged the meeting but declined to give details of what was discussed.

He however said that the president has the right to meet whoever he wants to meet saying that presidents invitation should be taken in good faith. Bahati says that the president can meet any mp and says that what matters is what is being discussed.
