Winnie Kiiza refuses to vacate Leader of Opposition office
Kasese Woman
MP Winnie Kiiza was replaced with Gulu Municipality MP, Betty Ochan as Leader
of Opposition in Parliament. According to FDC President,
Patrick Opoi Amuriat, the reshuffle announced on Friday were to take immediate
effect.
However, Matooke Republic has
learnt that Kiiza has refused to vacate the office saying as far as she is
concerned, she is still the LoP.
“I
have not received any official communication to that effect so I here working
as the LoP. When the communication comes, I’ll vacate,” Kiiza
told journalists at Parliament this afternoon.
In related developments,
youth from Kasese district have given FDC five days to explain the sacking of
their MP from the role.
Gideon Ntabosi, the Kasese
district vice chairperson who also doubles as FDC youth chairperson in Kasese
said the manner in which Winnie Kiiza was dropped is “so unfortunate and they
need answers.”
The angry
youth threatened to demonstrate if the FDC party fails to give clear
reasons for the reshuffle.
Kiiza was dropped alongside
Bugweri MP, Abdu Katuntu among others in a move critics say is a purge of those
that supported former party president Gen. Mugisha Muntu.
