All other speakers from other parties emphasised the need to stay united and stop pursing selfish ambitions.
The news coming in today morning, police had been deployed at the homes of these opposition leaders, following the peaceful demonstration they had planned to have today, on the bad state of Kampala Roads. Some National Unity Platform leaders have been seen planting banana trees, yams and other plants in the pot holes of different roads in Kampala and they also encouraged people to do the same in their different localities.
