Hon. Upendo Peneza Furaha, the leader of the National Youth Assembly of Tanzania and member of the CHEDEMA party in Tanzania called upon the ANT to allow youth to favourably compete within the party as this is the only way the party will be able to practice what they preach.

In his speech, Major General Mugisha Muntu said that Ugandans should tighten their seat belts as the ANT is going to walk in every corner of this country with effect from next week in efforts to popularise the party.

He said that power must not continue to be invested in individuals who later turn out to dictators but it should be invested in institutions.

" Power must be invested in institutions not individuals. We will do a lot to ensure that the executive power is reduced. Judiciary power must be increased and people must be empowered and we will make sure that this is not a one man show," Muntu said.

He said that following their nation wide consultations, they found out that the spirits of Ugandans have been crushed and many have lost hope in politicians and the ANT will do everything possible to lift the spirits of Ugandans before anything else.

The party offices will be at Buganda Road, Plot 87 near Case Medical Center. Interested members can subscribe for membership online; https:/bit.ly/2wmottgV
