However while addressing the media at Party Headquarters in Kampala, Opio Okolar the Democratic Party spokesperson noted that even though they strongly believe in working together, there needs to be exclusive consultations on how to work together as change seekers because there are many unresolved issues. Opio Okolar noted that they needed time to discuss about the new coalition and it's objective other than driving it on their on way.
Meanwhile Opio Okolar argued that government should not merely talk about investing in agriculture but rather invest heavily into the sector because it will drive the 80% of the population into commercial and modern farming which shall cause economic empowerment to them.
