Dr Besigye, FDC and now his red card campaign were born from here but we managed to take Rukungiri Municipality parliamentary seat from them, which shows their downfall,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister was speaking at the launch of the Bishop\u2019s Annual Appeal Fund (BAAF) at Immaculate Heart Girls School Nyakibale in Rukungiri Municipality at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The fundraising is aimed at raising Shs2.5b for the construction of the Catholic Church commercial house in Rukungiri Town.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Nabbanja said people who are interested in development should support the government and not the Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to benefit from the government (NRM), you have to support it because a government cannot invest its resources in communities that are against it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not fight the government, support the government 100 percent and wait for the fruits, there is nothing you are going to gain from opposing it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Government Chief Whip Thomas Tayebwa asked locals to emulate the Catholic Church by creating opportunities that will develop their areas and fight poverty in their households.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis initiative by the Catholic Church should be emulated because it makes religious institutions self-sustainable and can give services to the community thus development,\u201d Mr Tayebwa said.<\/p>\n<p>Kabale Catholic Diocese Bishop Callistus Rubaramira, who led the mass asked locals to support church projects.<\/p>\n<p>Background<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kizza Besigye and his allies in six political parties early this month unveiled a new political pressure group named People\u2019s Front for Transition Dr Besigye said the outfit galvanises political actors willing to remove President Museveni from power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
