Otunnu lying, has no children, says UPC officials

The message that Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) party president Dr. Olara Otunnu had packaged well yesterday that he has two daughters has been rubbished by his own party members. One of the UPC officials, David Pulkol says that he knows Otunnu well; the man does not have daughters/ a family.

Pulkol says that what is true is that Otunnu is looking after the daughters of his late brother James Otunnu, who died seven years back. He says that looking after the children of a relative does not mean that one becomes their biological father. Pulkol was speaking with scribes at Canaan restaurant near UPC head offices inKampala.

 Pulkol says that because Otunnu has no children and a wife, is the reason why he has reportedly failed to run the affairs of UPC. Pulkol has repeated his usual statements that Otunnu is incompetent because he is lacking a family. Pulkol further said that he was going to get Otunnu a Karimojong woman.

Otunnu on Wednesday told a news conference that he needs the support of the community to find himself a suitable wife. Otunnu said that getting him a wife is acceptable under African culture.
