I have to be involved in this dialogue.”Museveni stressed that all important or key stakeholders must be involved if it’s to succeed and cautioned propagandists fighting to see it fail.Also in the same meeting, according to a State House document dated November 13, the launch was postponed from November 21 to December 18 to enable clear and fix consultations detailing the formats of how the dialogue will be handled and how the results from it will be implemented.

According to the organizers, the dialogue is meant to develop consensus on issues that are affecting the society in order to find new ways of sustainable development of the country.
