Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Mr Mathias Mpuuga, has urged members of the opposition parties to stop bickering and start working together if they are to bring meaningful political change to the country.<\/p>\n

He, however, said that working together as opposition doesn\u2019t mean disbanding their political parties and forming one party.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs forces of change, we must work together to make the status quo untenable. We have always seen petty bickering amongst us, but let\u2019s listen to each other. However much we are few, we can make a great deal to liberate our country,\u201d Mr Mpuuga said during the burial of Hajj Muhamood Mirundi, the father of Kampala City Lord Mayor, Mr Erias Lukwago at Kabungo Village, Kalungu District on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Hajj Mirundi, 93, died on Tuesday afternoon after a long illness associated with advanced age.<\/p>\n

Mr Mpuuga also urged opposition supporters to always correct their leaders in case they go wrong rather than publically attacking and demeaning them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need sincere advice and it is that good advice which can keep us strong and achieve our desired goals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye and leader of the People’s Front for Transition (PFT), an opposition pressure group, echoed the same message, adding that previous elections had proved that Ugandans cannot change the status quo through a ballot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current economic situation in the country affects us all regardless of our political colours. We need to work together as Ugandans and tackle the problem at hand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The burial was attended by various government officials, politicians, religious leaders and members of the business community from both Masaka and Kampala.<\/p>\n

Early this month, Opposition leaders signed yet another agreement to foster cooperation amongst themselves in any upcoming elections and other efforts geared toward ousting President Museveni from power.<\/p>\n

The agreement which was signed during a meeting held at Hotel Africana on August 1 attracted leaders of four political parties including; the National Unity Platform(NUP), Forum for Democratic Change(FDC), Justice Forum (JEEMA), People\u2019s Progressive Party(PPP) and People\u2019s Front for Transition.<\/p>\n
