Dear Congress members,
The National Council Consultative meeting convened by the MPS, their resolutions and motion passed to remove the Party President is a total hoax/hot air and of no consequence at all. This is based on the following grounds:-
1. There are only two types of meeting of the National Council i.e An ordinary National Council meeting and an extra-Ordinary National Council meeting .The first one can only be convened by the National Chairman on the advise of the PP and the second one can only be convened by the PP in consultation with the National Chairman as per articles 12.3(2 &3) of the 2008 Constitution. Therefore the Consultative meeting that took place today at Oasis Restaurant Lugoogo does not exist in the Constitution of the Party and can only amount to aprivate meeting of Party members/leaders freely associating and discussing Party matters.Its outcome is not legally binding on the Party in anyway whatsoever.
2. The genuine National Council meeting is normally by the incumbent National Chairperson which was not the case at Lugoogo today.
3. The composition of members who attended clearly showed the majority were not members of the National Council. As someone who gate crashed the meeting, I saw a number of UPC District Chairpersons, District Councillors, LC3 Chairpersons, ordinary Party members and Youth who are not necessarily members of the National Council.
4. The UPC Parliamentary Committee has got its leader Hon:Fr Jacinto Ogwal who was absent yet everything done was done in the name of UPC Parliamentary Committee.
5. I was seriously assaulted upon arrival at the entrance by Oluka Jimmy, Asimwee Abel, Agoro Lazarus and two other Youth whose names I never got but can identify them physically. As an elected member of the Central Executive Committee, am entitled to attend such a consultative meeting convened by Party members but in the Spirit of Reconciliation, Dialogue and Forgiveness, I made it clear to the meeting that I had forgiven those five members who fought me aggressively in spite of the Police insistence that I go and record a criminal assault case against the five.
6. The motion passed is the same one used at the illegal youth Conference, therefore was more for collection of signatures which they could have even achieved without this meeting.
7. When it came to transport reimbursement, on: Obua Ogwal Benson told the members that they a big financial crisis since MOF did not give the money as they had agreed.He went on to say on seeing the Court Interim Order stopping the meeting,MOF changed its mind and refused to give the money.Consequently they reimbursed the members one way transport fair meals inclusive in the same amount.The actual given to Buganda members 5000/= ,this caused abig fight forcing the convener to increase the fair to 10,000/= (Ten Thousand)per person,Lango,Karamoja,Teso 30,000/=(Thirty thousand shillings)The majority of the party members who travelled from upcountry and attended the meeting are still stranded in Kampala. This is a repeat of what happened at the illegal and unconstitutional Youth Convention only 30th /Dec/2011.
8. We appeal to our Party members not to allow themselves to be deceived repeatedly to travel from upcountry to come for such unsanctioned meetings only to end up suffering from hunger, lack of accommodation and transport money back home.
I would like to assure our Party members that our Party President is in full control and no amount of propaganda, manipulations and deceit will derail him from leading the Party.
Thanks,
Aroma Patrick
