Otunnu evicted from house of Oyite Ojok’s son

Things have continued to swiftly falling apart for the Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) president Dr. Olara Otunnu, our reporters have been informed. We have learnt that several cabinet members of Otunnu’s cabinet have resorted to boycotting the UPC headquarters onKampalaroad-because their party president declined to give them written instruments of appointment since last year.

Some of the officials on Otunnu’s cabinet who have reportedly deserted the UPC secretariat include Maj. Kisembo from Bunyoro, Cyprian Bamwoze Deputy Secretary General of UPC, Emmanuel Ofumbi, Rebecca Eryemu, and Lawyer Peter Walubiri among others.

The members of Otunnu’s cabinet are also angry that recently Otunnu reportedly saw them coming and locked himself inside his office perhaps because he did not want to talk to them. A source in UPC told us that the members of UPC on seeing this they felt disrespected and they nearly kicked his door.

On the same day, they called Otunnu to meet them in the board room such that they iron out their differences and Otunnu reportedly declined to do so. The party members have also reportedly written a letter to the financial controller of Milton Obote Foundation, CD Mindra requesting him to stop paying Otunnu’s monthly house rent of 1.8 million shillings until their party president reconciles with them. If Mindra honours the request of Otunnu’s cabinet, it will mean that the former UN diplomat will now be homeless because we also hear that Otunnu was recently chassed from the boy’s quarter of one of the UPC members, David Opul over late payment of rent. Opul is a son to late Oyite Ojok.
