 According to Birigwa, these investigations are now approaching completion, and he has made a firm commitment to share the findings with the public.

The call came as the party Over 100 members of the FDC National Council convened at the Sharing Hall in Nsambya for a consultative meeting under the theme “Redirecting FDC to its Core Mission” to discuss the internal challenges the party is facing where Ssemujju Nganda accused the FDC Party President and Secretary General of possessing undisclosed funds.
Chairman Birigwa’s comments come amid internal tensions within the FDC, with different factions expressing their concerns. One group criticized Ssemujju Nganda for holding the consultative meeting, which had initially been halted by the Secretary-General.

Robert Centenary, former Kasese Municipality MP, criticized Ssemujju for making the allegations publicly and demanded that he provide evidence to support his claims. Centenary questioned the timing of the allegations, considering that the party is currently preparing for elections, referring to them as election propaganda.
Birigwa stated that he has not received any complaints against Ssemujju Nganda, emphasizing that as the chairman, he has no case against him. He remains optimistic that the current issues will not escalate to the point of forcing anyone out of the party, as FDC members are still united despite the arising challenges.

In response, Ssemujju Nganda urged party leaders to step aside if it would benefit the FDC. He expressed his commitment to serving the people of Kira Municipality even if he were to be forced out of the party, as he has their mandate until 2026.
