Although campaigns officially get underway on Thursday, October 28, Ms Kamya used yesterday as another stage to sustain her attacks on her rivals in the Inter-Party Cooperation alliance, saying the UFA stands for change of the system of governance, not just fighting an individual.
“For them (IPC) they concentrate on ‘let’s get rid of Museveni’ but ours is a change of the system,” she said.
She said the current system of governance is a ‘predator’ designed by the colonialists to siphon resources from Africa to Europe. That Uganda needs a system that empowers the people to use their resources, because everything is currently apportioned from State House.
“I am not just a woman candidate but the maternal instinct of caring for other people makes me a unique candidate,” she said.
Accompanied by Owekitibwa Kavuma Kaggwa the party advisor, Ms Kamya was proposed for nomination by her daughter Anthea Turwomwe and seconded by Mr Francis Oneba, the party vice president.
The other supporters were; Lawrence Kapere, Hassan Kasibante, Peter Mayeku UFA National Chairman, Ronald Asedri, Hajat Nabukenya Mariam, Baker Byayi her party spokesman Ahmad Ssensonga, Kibomba Waiswa, Richard Ssebunya, Jimmy Mayanja, and Francis Nkwasibwe.
Although all her papers were verified, she didn’t carry photocopies resulting in Electoral Commission chief Badru Kiggundu saying: “We can’t release your originals until we get their copies, your photographs also don’t show your straight face, we need you to deposit all that today afternoon in our office.”
The only woman in the race, Ms Kamya called for a peaceful election and she refuted claims that UFA is a tribal party. “Our VP (Oneba) is from Acholi, our national chairman (Mayeku) from Teso and chief mobiliser (Waiswa) from Busoga,” she said.
UFA central campaign message hinges around the argument that Uganda moves from being a unitary State to a federal system of government.
