Mr. Amuriat leads a group called FDC. He says mean words on the internet do not bother him. Many people say bad things about him. They call him a sellout to the government. Even Dr. Besigye said this before he went to jail.

Dr. Besigye has been in prison since November. He worried about money that came to his old party and called it "dirty money." This made people think Mr. Amuriat helped the government.

Mr. Amuriat talked on TV. He said, "People draw pictures of me and say mean things. They call me a sellout. I do not care because that is not who I am."

Many people think Mr. Amuriat should speak up more about Dr. Besigye's imprisonment. The police took Dr. Besigye from Kenya and charged him with crimes. Others have asked for his freedom.

Mr. Amuriat says he wants Dr. Besigye free. He told people, "Just because we fought does not mean we hate him. We care about what happens to him. This matters for everyone in our country."

Last year, some people said Mr. Amuriat took money from President Museveni before an election. Dr. Besigye did not help Mr. Amuriat win because he thought the money came from the president.

Mr. Amuriat says these stories are not true. He claims his party never took any money from President Museveni.
