Former Forum for Democratic Change Party President, Dr. Warren Kiiza Besigye has gained temporary freedom and vowed to start from where he had stopped in fighting against failure by government to manage the situation of increased commodity prices.
Shortly after being released from Luzira prison by Buganda Road Magistrates Court, the four-times presidential candidate who has been in prison since May 25th 2022 on charges of inciting violence, Dr. Besigye said he is unshaken by the two weeks he has spent in prison, adding that freedom fighters never give up.
He added that despite a struggling Ugandan economy, President Yoweri Museveni is still living a luxurious life in that his Statehouse spends about two billion shillings a day which if put to proper use can benefit many of Ugandans.
He has also described the three million shillings he has paid to get bail as a lot of money saying that he has previously been given non cash bail on capital offenses such as terrorism, rape and treason.
