On Friday, members of the DP bloc, including Mps in parliament, during a press briefing, banned their President General Nobert Mao from representing the Party on any front.

The DP Block says Mao and the Party’s Secretary General Gerald Siranda have been excommunicated and stripped of any honours, accolades and awards.

The DP Bloc has also asked the public to shun the duo and send them away whenever they show up representing the party at  birthday parties, church functions ,burials or any opposition political party .

Lubega Samuel Mukaku, a DP Block member, stated that henceforth, Mao and the Prtyis Secretary General Siranda, be banned Mao from attending any functions of the party ,block or even representing the party at other opposition functions.

Mukaku says the duo has disgraced themselves and the  party by proving to be moles for the ruling NRM party. He further states that the block has henceforth stripped them of any accolades, honours or awards attained under the party’s name.

“We ban the duo from attending any functions on behalf of the party including cultural, religious,political,birthday parties,funerals because they are masquerades, we want to Isolate and excommunicate them.“ he says

In the 42-clause agreement, the two parties not only agreed to share political power but also to foster constitutionalism and respect for human rights. 

According to the agreement, DP agreed to cooperate with NRM in supporting the overall governance agenda and parliamentary votes on matters of confidence and supply for the full term of this Parliament. DP has only nine members in a parliament of 529 MPs.

However, speaking shortly after being vetted, Mao said he will not listen to negative talk but only listen to calls based on the workload awaiting him as he takes charge of the new mandate.

He explains that this arrangement is not any different from others the party has signed before like the

“The venomous outbursts I heard indicate that most of our members have not internalized the implications of this cooperation agreement.It is not a requirement that I explain to the National organ and this is not the first such agreement we signed the TDA
