RELIGIOUS LEADERS ATTACKS NUP LEADERSHIP FOR PROMOTING SECTARIANISM
Christian Coalition for Leadership a civil society organisation for Christians in written statements has condemned the act of National Unity Platform (NUP) of denying singer Joseph Mayanja popularly known as Dr Jose Chameleone party ticket because of his Catholic religion belief.
Mr Timothy Mayende the National coordinator for the organisation said that sectarianism is a form of prejudice, discrimination, or hatred arising from attaching relations of inferiority and superiority to differences between subdivisions within a group.
"What we are beginning to see is an attempt by sectarian parties to reiterate the sectarian identities of their supporters… this is dangerous for a young party like NUP. They are seeking to appoint national leaders while using sectarian barricades community" said Mayende
"We observe that this was in the past a practice in the old parties like UPC and Amins regime and one would expect a new formation such as NUP to espouse universal democratic practices."
He further said that NUP top leadership must denounce sectarianism and religious bigotry creeping within the ranks of the Party.
According to the NUP score card for Kampala Lord Mayot aspirants Mr Joseph Mayanja and Al-haji Latif Ssebaggala Ssengendo, religion was used as a basis for the selection of a candidate.
Other section of NUP party members were seen recently in the media complaining the manner in which they were denied NUP flag
