Uganda, Dec. 30 -- The leadership of the International Community of the Banyakigezi (ICOB) Uganda chapter has accused the ruling NRM of dropping their sons and daughters from influential positions in government without replacing them.

"While we support the NRM government and its leadership, we must be given due consideration when it comes to appointments in influential positions," said Ms Grace Mugabirwe Mutebile, the president of ICOB Uganda Chapter.

ICOB Uganda chapter is a non-partisan, non-profit making organisation that was established in 2009 to promote the cultural, social and economic development of Banyakigezi in Uganda and in the Diaspora.
