I expect you to support me Mr Lipumba why you resigned from the committee !This prompted CUF chairman and special rep for allied opposition parties, Ibrahim Lipumba, to reject his appointment to the steering committee, saying he felt Mr Sitta was “using him” to create the illusion of neutrality.“I can’t be part of the steering committee,” said Mr Lipumba. “I don’t intend to be used as bait - to legitimize] claims that ‘a leading opposition leader’ is part of this committee.”
