Emmanuel Dombo, the Director Communications at the NRM Secretariat has refuted allegations that his party led by President Yoweri Museveni is buying off opposition supporters to change sides ahead of the 2021 general elections.

"NRM is not buying NUP supporters; they should tell you why they are crossing. Apart from the noise in NUP, nobody has come out to say how they will improve things. President Museveni has discussed Uganda," Dombo stated.

A number of notable figures have come out to denounce the opposition and pledge allegiance to Museveni's party.

Dombo added that Bobi Wine's leadership at NUP should not be surprised when their people are poached because it is also part of the campaigns. He said this only shows how strongly the NRM is going to defeat them all.

The State Minister for Tourism, Ssuubi Kiwanda also complemented that NRM is better than the rest of the political parties because of a strong foundation and ideology unlike the rest of the political parties that are not based on firm ideologies.

Key opposition aspirants have been regularly blocked and their campaigns interfered with by state security on grounds of flouting COVID19 guidelines. Opposition members have since tasked the police and other security agencies to do the same with President Museveni's NRM party.

In a dramatic turn of events however, the National Resistance Movement party is asking the Police to explain why they have failed to enforce COVID19 guidelines in areas where their candidate Yoweri Museveni is holding scientific campaigns.

Dombo further stated that there's no reason to panic like the opposition wants to portray it. The NRM publicist believes that in this coming election, both security and democracy will prevail.

"When there's security, there's democracy," Dombo said, to justify several notable arrests of government critics citing that it's necessary for maximum security measures.

Relatively on the hasty arrest of human rights lawyer Nicholas Opiyo, Dombo said the government is not panicking but only taking caution as early to any security threats.

"We are in a speedy world. Everything you do must be speedy. If the NGOs are involved in terrorism and money laundering, the security agencies will find out, and they will tell us. Terrorism is taking place elsewhere because here, the security agencies are doing their job," Dombo added, justifying Opiyo's contentious arrest, and applauding the swiftness in state security operations.

"The police indeed arrested Nicholas Opiyo, and they admitted they have him. Others just go missing. He must be treated as innocent until proven guilty. He must be given the opportunity to see his lawyers and family," Dombo said.

The NRM publicist also asked the government to expedite the process of taking Nicholas Opiyo to court. He argued that it is only the duty of the Police to tell the people of Uganda why Opiyo was arrested.
