The Forum for Democratic Change party has said the first son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s controversial political statements against the ruling National Resistance Movement party are meant to divert the Opposition from its struggle for regime change.

While addressing journalists at the party headquarters in Najjanankumbi, Kampala, yesterday, the FDC party president, Mr Patrick Oboi Amuriat, said Gen Muhoozi’s incitements are a well-planned move executed to portray a fight between a father and son, to provoke a reaction from the Opposition who are a target.

However, he added that the FDC will not be diverted and will stay focused fighting for justice, human rights and causing total liberation of Ugandans.

Gen Muhoozi has on several occasions posted controversial political statements on his Twitter handle, including assertions that he does not believe in the ruling party which is chaired by his father.
