Col. Kiiza Besigye, the president general of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has tongue lashed the National Resistance Movement (NRM) describing it as a party for grabbers.

He says that the use of the word grab in relationship to NRM and its top dogs (managers) is no longer surprising to the people of Uganda.

Col. Besigye says that people in NRM grab land from peasants, grab money from the poor, grab donor funds, ‘grab votes.’ Speaking to FDC supporters in Busia, Besigye said that due to corruption in NRM, even women’s body parts may not be safe. This statement caused laughter in the audience.

“Ask the people of Teso or Kitgum where their cattle went and who took it. They will tell you it was grabbed,” he says.
