A group of youth on Tuesday stormed the meeting venue at Fairway Hotel in Kampala forcing Amuriat out, because, they claimed, Gen Muntu wanted to convince him (Amuriat) to his side


At the time, Gen Muntu and other FDC members were still in a meeting at Fairway Hotel in Kampala.

Shortly after the meeting, Gen Muntu told journalists that the statement was careless and released prematurely.
“I apologise to the party president Hon Patrick Amuriat for the statement released carelessly by my communications team. I also apologise for the comments made by Hon Bihande. I am the leader and I have to apologise for that sincerely," Gen Muntu said before adding that he would issue a clear statement through his official social media platforms shortly.
