“Museveni loves to drive every appointment into his cabinet like a wheelbarrow. He shall tie you with a rope and drag you to wherever you don’t want to go but he shall have decided that it is where you should go.”

“I don’t blame anyone who makes that interpretation because Ugandans like to talk about eating. Even if I became the pope, they would say I have gone to Rome to eat…Earlier you asked whether I like NRM. To my knowledge, NRM has never fished a DP MP to cross but the other opposition parties are day and night courting DP MPs to cross.”

“Democracy starts with dialogue but does not end with dialogue. It requires action and that is how we want to be judged. This summit is not about showing a smooth surface to the world, but to ask tough questions. The challenge of IPOD now is to maintain the connection. We need IPOD to sanitize our political processes. This is a battle of ideas not egos. Politics is not about arguing amongst each other. While politicians argue, mothers and children continue dying in hospitals. Dialogue is painful because it involves talking to those we do not agree with.”

“Our goal now is for the country to see a peaceful transition of power, to see an army serve more than one regime. Mr Museveni, it will be wonderful if you attend a swearing in ceremony of a President who is not you.”

“This meeting is a paradox but a paradox that can save the future of our country. After taking the oath in 2016, the President vowed that by 2021 there will be no opposition party left. Here we are talking about strengthening all political parties.”

“The constitution of DP and the cooperation agreement are not mutually exclusive. I signed it as the president of the Democratic Party and I shall continue discharging my duty as the president of the Democratic Party. I have heard voices calling for me to step aside. I think the reason is not a cooperation agreement. The reason would have been if members said you (Mao) would be too busy because it would be reasonable. The venomous outbursts I have heard show that many of our members have not internalized the impacts of the cooperation agreement. DP must have a leadership that is committed to those issues.”

“We are going to have a national flag bearer who shall appear on the ballot paper for our sake. He [the flag bearer] shall not be doing it as a personal job because all of us Ugandans have suffered during Museveni’s regime. Where I come from, we have a PhD. in suffering in this regime of Museveni. Some areas in Uganda haven’t gotten a certificate in suffering but we the Northerners have a PhD. You see teargas here but we were buried. They dig a grave, drop in bottles, and nails, and set them on fire. They then drop you inside alive. They raped our fathers and mothers. No one can teach me how bad Museveni is.”
