The United Forces of Change will on Thursday protest against the poor state of roads in the city.


This they say is part of the series of activities they have launched to display the discontent in the country.

In a statement read out by ANT National Mobilizer Winne Kiiza, the United Forces of Change Leaders said that the crisis in the country has continued to worsen, including abduction, illegal arrests, and extra-judicial killings that have never been investigated.

Kiiza explained that they want to portray the deplorable state of roads because the dignitaries participating in the Non-Aligned Movement and G77+China summits will not be allowed to access the roads. She urged supporters to plant bananas and trees in every pothole on the road.

NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi reiterated his earlier appeal to Ugandans to use the current Non-Aligned Movement and G77+China summits as a platform to voice and reveal their dissatisfaction with the government. According to Kyagulanyi while such summits would be beneficial for the nation, they have instead interrupted lives and affected several businesses. He added that summits are benefiting a small group of political elites.
