DP members are trying to come to terms with DP 2007 blunders in a rather shabby way.They know that there is a report that was made public as the authentic Scotland Report. That you know very well. This report was first published in July 1997 in Uganda Confidential: 1997, 10 years before the DP blunder of 2007 (what should ordinarily have been called the “Kayiragate Scandal” of the DP)
DP members can only authoritatively assert that the report published by Uganda Confidential in 1997; that same one published by New Vision in 2007 were doctored if they can present to us the undoctored version. What people of DP did was to get the original report and considerably alter it for the sake of gaining political mileage from Dr Kayiira’s death to boost your flagging fortunes. That was the saddest day for Uganda because they then joined UPC in the ranks of the riggers. Deal with that shame, and nothing more!
That loss of integrity is what should be bothering DP supporters most instead of coming here on the UAH forum to “kwekalakasa” like some of them are doing. DP knows that they cooked up that “Kayiira report” of theirs and it put them in a lot of problems with government. This should be a moment for introspection on their part but not the rationalisation that they are succumbing to now.
Where do they base to say that Scotland Yard doctored its own report? Did one of the Scotland Yard people confide in DP that they doctored the report? Did they give them the undoctored version? Show it to us. Are DP telling us that the DP version was the undoctored version? What are they telling us?
Nobody here is worshipping Scotland Yard. The fact is that, they are the ones that carried out the investigation. Going by their report is based simply on that fact, and not because they are a deity. In fact if we check back in the records of 1987, you might find that Scotland Yard were invited on the insistence of DP. I only wish I knew who the interior minister was at the time.
Stop this talk of yours of ‘doctoring’ DP supporters! It does not help to erase your shame as a party. Just stop it.
