The Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) PRESIDENT, Col. Kiiza Besigye was the National Political Commissar when the National Resistance Army (NRA) took over power in 1986.

Besigye says that under him were men like John Kazoora, the first RDC of Kampala. Their duty was simple, to sell the NRM to all Ugandans. NRM and its strange philosophy was a difficult thing to sell to either UPC or DP camps of Uganda.

But Col. Besigye says he built NRM almost effortless in places as difficult as Kasese, Bushenyi, Arua and Mbale and in Buganda region. The FDC president says that it is a shame for Museveni to forget Besigye’s organizational and mobilization skills. Besigye challenges Museveni to accept that opposition is throwing out NRM because all the men NRM relied upon to build the structure have walked out.

Besigye says that NRM is relying on unpopular men like Amama Mbabazi, Maj. Kakooza Mutare and Captain Byakutaaga among others that is why it is at the verge of collapse.
