The Democratic Party of Norbert Mao badly needs a ‘financial drip’ if this oldest opposition political party in Uganda is to survive for another year.

Insiders in the party have told our informers that the party needs at least 10 billion shillings to rejuvenate its activities on the grand and pay off its accumulating debts.

A source in DP, tells this journalist that the money is also needed to build its offices because at any time, Kampala’s business tycoon, Shudir Rupereria is demolishing City house building, which houses the DP head offices.

We hear the party has now resorted to organising several dinners to sensitize its members about the need to contribute towards the party activities. The forthcoming dance and dinner will take place in Masaka on Sunday.
