S,
yes I've read some of Obote's narrative and apparently there are a lot of 
lies in it. Here below is one who should know.

Obote profits nothing by lying continuously
By Louis Ojuka
I would like to react to the story published in your paper of Friday April 
8, 2005 titled, “I come from royal ancenstry” by Milton Obote. In his third 
last paragraph Dr Milton Obote claims he put “pressure” on Late Yakobo 
Omonya to resign his seat in the Legislative Council (LEGICO) for him to 
take over because the late Yakobo Omonya was “ineffective”.

The known fact is that Omonya was one of the brilliant people, identified by 
the colonial government, with a vision for this country. As such they 
engaged him in preparations for independence of this nation, which were 
supposed to be smooth since Uganda was a British protectorate and not a 
colony. He visited the Queen’s Palace in the UK for consultations at various 
levels.

The late Yakobo Omonya
What Obote describes as pressure on the late Yakobo was in fact intrigue, 
which he played out of his greed for power. And what he labelled as 
ineffectiveness were strictures for following procedure, which when 
cautioned, he would take for a challenge and would get suspicious of that 
person, just as he rebelled against the rules in Makerere which led to his 
subsequent dismissal from Makerere. In any case, if Obote himself was so 
effective how come he was outwitted and twice deposed?

It is even remembered that Omonya warned Obote that if he continued with his 
haphazard ways of doing things, he would throw this country into chaos, and 
this happened. After that he labelled Omonya a DP supporter.

The late Yakobo Omonya was born in 1911. He was brought up by his uncle, 
Esaya Ogwang Guzi, a renowned chief and a royal. He started his education in 
Gulu and went to Kings College Budo, where children form the royal families 
would go. Afterwards he joined Makerere, and also studied at Nsamizi, and 
Britain. He worked in different parts of the country at various 
administrative levels. Yakobo Omonya died in 1970.
By 1954 the late Yakobo was representing Lango district in the LEGICO 
meanwhile handling the administration of the district. This was the time 
when Obote’s rage for power was at its climax. The late Omonya was a peace 
loving citizen who stood down for a young and upcoming politician.

After that Omonya continued with the administration as District Secretary 
and was later appointed District Chief Magistrate by the then colonial 
government. To confirm Obote’s malicious and nepotism tendencies, Omonya was 
his first victim when he became Prime Minister. He removed Omonya from the 
position of chief magistrate and dumped him in the cold, meanwhile bringing 
his brother one Mr Odur Adoko from nowhere and crowned him district chief 
magistrate.

Dr Obote extended his malice on the family of the late Yakobo Omonya. He 
went as far as removing one of Omonya’s daughters in 1981, who was a senior 
bank officer in Barclays Bank in Nairobi and happily married to a Kenyan 
man, brought her to his UPC Secretariat and frustrated her to a point of no 
return. To date this person is going through a state of depression as a 
result of utter torture she underwent with the UPC Secretariat. She has also 
been denied her benefits, thus continuing the torture .

I wish to inform Obote that his sudden outrage at the late Yakobo Omonya 
reveals a high level of malice, intrigue, jealousy, selfishness, lies, name 
it. Furthermore, it shows that he is the type of man who can still be bitter 
with a man he sent to his grave over 30 years ago instead of thinking of an 
apology. If he continues telling these types of lies, Ugandans will gain 
nothing, forgiving will be all the harder, and he will definitely lose 
respect.

 Guys! Time out! Have you taken time to read Obote's narrative in the 
Monitor? Here is part of it?

The rise and fall of Presidents Lule and Binaisa
By Andrew Mwenda
In this part, Obote talks to Andrew Mwenda about how he plotted his return 
on May 27, 1980 from Tanzania and how he organised UPC electoral victory in 
the elections in December 1980
The Moshi conference established a number of organs for the Uganda National 
Liberation Front (UNLF). Yusuf Lule, an academic whom I had appointed 
principle of Makerere University in the 1960s was elected chairman of the 
National Executive Committee (NEC) and therefore the executive head of the 
front.
The UNLF also established the National Consultative Council (NCC) to be the 
legislative arm of the front. Edward Rugumayo was elected as its chairman. 
Then a Military Commission was created and Paulo Muwanga was elected its 
chairman deputised by Yoweri Museveni.
Finally, the Moshi conference also established the Political and Diplomatic 
Commission led by Dani Nabudere.
The rules governing the front were promulgated in my absentia and all the 
leaders of the different organs of the front too were selected without my 
input.

WE WERE GLAD TO COME BACK: Obote and his wife Miria during the interview 
(Monitor photo).
Immediately after the Moshi conference, the government of Idi Amin fell to 
the combined force of the Tanzanian army supported by Ugandan exile troops.
Lule automatically became the president of Uganda in exile in his capacity 
as leader of UNLF’s executive arm, NEC.
When Amin fell, the UNLF shifted from Dar-es-Salaam to Kampala and Lule and 
the different leaders were sworn in. Contrary to many accusations against 
me, I did not work to undermine President Yusuf Lule.
President Lule had a problem with the NCC which was dominated by the Gang 
of Four made up of four university professors – Nabudere, Rugumayo, Yash 
Tandon and Omwony Ojok. The disagreement was on cabinet appointments.
According to the minutes of the Moshi conference which formed the 
constitution of the UNLF, presidential nominees to cabinet had to be 
ratified by the NCC.
However, according to the 1967 constitution under which Lule had been sworn 
in, cabinet nominees by the president were not subject to parliamentary 
ratification.
Lule stood in defence of the 1967 constitution, the NCC for the Moshi 
minutes and UNLF constitution. The two sides had gone to Kampala very happy 
with themselves. Now they were fighting.
One morning, President Julius Nyerere came to my house and said he was 
inviting me to go with him to Mwanza to attend a conference with Ugandan 
ministers and then he added that he wanted Lule to know that he and I 
agreed on everything.
He surprised me and I told him I did not want to go to attend a meeting 
with Ugandan ministers. Since the Moshi conference I had washed my hands of 
Ugandan affairs. He insisted that we go together. So we flew to Mwanza 
together.

SHORTLIVED: Yusuf L
LUCKY: Godfrey Binaisa
I sat on the high table with Nyerere, Lule and Rugumayo. They discussed the 
disagreements between the chairman of the NCC and President Lule.
So two sides began to tussle it out and each made strong arguments 
defending their positions. When I stood up to speak, I told them that I was 
no longer interested in their quarrels and their division over power.
Nyerere was a very modest man and was deeply embarrassed and troubled. He 
had supported these people but he did not know that they had no support 
within Uganda.
Now they were quarrelling in front of him hoping that he would support one 
side and ditch the other. He did not. And that one gave me opportunity 
outside the conference hall to tell Otema Alimadi and Paulo Muwanga, both 
members of the Uganda Peoples’ Congress (UPC) to go back home and light 
the fire for a return to multi party politics.
Alimadi and Paulo Muwanga were Ministers of Foreign and Internal Affairs 
respectively in the Lule government.
I told them that from the smell of things, the Lule government was going to 
be short lived, and would fall because of the incessant quarrels between 
the president and the NCC. To avoid a vacuum in the leadership of the 
country, UPC which was the best organised and most popular political party 
should take the initiative to prepare itself for an election which would be 
necessary to elect a new administration.
I told them it was only a matter of time before Lule fell. “Go light the 
fire,” I told them, “When Lule falls it might be a UPC government to 
replace him.”
In some ways this plan was implemented, but not completely. When Lule fell, 
Muwanga was not strong enough to take over, so Godfrey Binaisa my former 
Attorney General was elected on the UPC ticket having been proposed by Yona 
Kanyomozi. Rugumayo had won the first round of voting, Binaisa had come 
second and Muwanga third.
To stop Rugumayo’s election, the UPC members supported Binaisa who was a 
UPC member too. Binaisa is a very lucky man because at Moshi he was 
rejected as not suitable to even attend the conference of Ugandan exiles.
He had come to Kampala to lobby to become Uganda’s permanent 
representative to the United Nations when Museveni woke him up very early 
in the morning, about 5 a.m. and told him he had become president of 
Uganda.
Binaisa misused his chance because upon election, he tried to bite the hand 
that had elected him. He forgot that he had been elected on the UPC ticket 
and began to undermine UPC by removing Muwanga from the Ministry of 
Internal affairs to Labour.
Later, during his administration, I met President Binaisa in Lusaka. 
President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia had invited me to Lusaka to attend the 
Commonwealth conference there. So I came with Stephen Miller who had come 
to visit me from Kampala.
I was taken to the annex of state house, President Binaisa came, we greeted 
each other, and after exchanging pleasantries, I told him that: “Mr. 
President I want you to know that I want to be in Uganda for Christmas.” 
I think it was November 1979.
“I want to spend Christmas with my mother,” I said. Binaisa surprised 
me when he asked, “You mean Uganda?”
I said, “Yes.”
“With your mother?”
I said “Yes.”
Then he asked again, “This Christmas?”
I said, “Yes.”
Binaisa literary collapsed on the floor and I had to shout for security to 
come to the room and they brought a doctor from State House who 
resuscitated him. That was the end of the meeting with the President of 
Uganda, Godfrey Binaisa QC.

WELCOME BACK: The plane which brought Obote from Tanzania lands at Bushenyi 
airstrip (File photo).

What I wanted to discuss with him, we never did. I found that Binaisa was 
so much interested in being president that he did not know that there were 
other citizens who wanted to be in Uganda.
I am sure that Museveni too may have gotten feats when he heard I had 
decided to return to Uganda without his approval. That is why his 
government moved from saying I was welcome, to saying I would be charged 
for crimes which they have never mentioned. I do not know why Ugandan 
leaders are afraid of me returning home.
There was no connection between my return to Uganda and Binaisa’s fall 
although my return was scheduled for May 27th 1980 and Binaisa fell 17 days 
earlier on May 10th.
While I stayed in Dar-es-Salaam, I received delegation after delegation 
from nearly every district of Uganda coming to ask me to return home.
Some came by air, some by road through Kenya. The decision to go to 
Bushenyi was taken by the Bushenyi delegation, which included Mbrarara, 
Tooro and Kigezi. There was also another delegation from Teso. They wanted 
me to fly to Soroti. Although I cannot remember all the details, the Late 
Adonia Tiberondwa would have reminded me, we agreed to land in Mbarara and 
drive to Bushenyi.
I asked President Kaunda to give me an aircraft and President Nyerere had 
offered an aircraft. I had enough supporters to fill the two aircrafts. I 
had my own staff, I had delegations that had come from Uganda, so we flew 
to Mbarara with Mrs Robina Bananuka, the wife of Bananuka who had been 
killed by Amin after the 1972 invasion.
Mama Miria and the children were also with us, although we travelled in 
different aircrafts for security reasons. There was scare mongering that 
the aircraft would be shot down, so we divided ourselves (the family), some 
with me, some with Mama in the second aircraft.
Upon landing in Mbarara, I stepped out of the plane and kissed the soil of 
my birth, and I greeted the reception committee. I was deeply excited to be 
back home. We drove to Bushenyi and there were a lot of people on the road 
waving.
At the home of my dear friend and colleague, Chris Rwakasisi, there were 
plenty of people! My former vice president and friend, John Babiha from 
Toro welcomed me with a moving speech, very characteristic of him.
He said, “When I woke up from sleep on the 25th of January 1971, I found 
Idi Amin had taken away my vice presidency,” and everybody laughed. 
Babiha was a great debater in parliament and a consummate orator at 
rallies. He had a unique sense of humour, and as he concluded his speech, 
he said, “I now welcome you back from your long journey to Singapore.”
It was a very emotional moment. I met many friends I had not seen in a 
decade. We hugged and cried and shared old memories. But Uganda had 
changed. I then travelled to Kampala first, where I met more leaders and 
then I decided to travel to the districts. I don’t remember which 
district I started with first.
The notable observation I saw was poverty. I remember in Teso I went to see 
Musa Ecweru who was my friend but he had died.
I sent word to the women that I was going to visit the home of my friend 
Musa Ecweru. When I went there I found the women had put the chairs in 
front of the door but had remained inside the house. I asked: “What is 
the problem?” And they said, “We are naked with no clothes.” 
Somewhere in northern Bukedi, near Butebu the entire public rally was 
virtually naked! People were very poor. At the time of the coup in 1985, 
people were dressed in several clothes, that is the wonder of UPC.

FAMILY: Obote, Miria and their sons Jimmy Akena (LEFT) and Ben Opeto 
(RIGHT) during the interview held in October last year (Monitor photo).
During the campaigns, another issue came up: Lule wanted to return and 
contest the presidency of the DP against Ssemogerere. Muwanga was scared of 
Lule, and so was Ssemogerere.
For me I saw Lule’s return as a political advantage for the UPC. I knew 
that Lule would divide the DP right in the middle between his supporters 
and Ssemogerere’s supporters. I asked Muwanga to allow Lule return 
because Lule who had not been in Ugandan politics was a better candidate to 
represent DP in the elections for us to defeat than Paul Ssemogerere who 
had a lot of experience in politics. Muwanga and Ssemogerere stopped Lule 
in Busoga. Lule never arrived in Buganda.
Everywhere we went, people welcomed us. The people of Uganda knew the 
record of UPC government: in building schools, roads, hospitals, industry 
etc and they could compare it with the record of Idi Amin and the profile 
of the other political parties.
People who say that UPC rigged the 1980 election do not understand the 
dynamics in Uganda at the time. UPC had a good record, and was well 
organised with a good manifesto. Our opponents were not credible, and they 
had no program to talk of. I was not in government.
Although Muwanga, the chairman of the military commission was a UPC, 
Museveni was his number two. How could I who was not number two, number 
three or number four, not even a number in military commission influence 
the military commission?
Voting started on the 9th, so on the 10th about midday Muwanga issued the 
proclamation where he stopped everyone from announcing election results 
except himself. I had in my house Gudir Singh and Shafik Arain.
I asked them to go to Muwanga and ask him to recede that statement and 
apologise to the people. They went to the Nile Mansion and rang me and said 
Muwanga had refused.
So I drove to Nile Mansion, I sat on Muwanga’s bed and I said, “You 
have got to recede this announcement now. The enemies of UPC will exploit 
it to claim it is meant to help us rig the election.
“This proclamation is a danger to UPC and an asset to our opponent.”
I was very unhappy with the announcement.
The announcement was unconstitutional. How could Muwanga in the middle of 
counting the votes, suspend the counting of the votes and dismiss some of 
the electoral commissioners? Muwanga as chairman of the military commission 
was virtually the president.
However, I did have power over him as leader of UPC. I think Muwanga was 
scared by Adoko Nekyon. Nekyon was at DP headquarters receiving electoral 
returns. The first to come in were from Buganda which is geographically 
near Kampala and UPC was been losing badly. Out of 35 seats, DP had won 34, 
and one remained undeclared. That made Muwanga panic. But I had been on 
phone with UPC candidates in the rest of Uganda and I knew UPC had won a 
clear majority.
Nekyon knew DP had lost but just wanted to create confusion.
The DP headquarters were announcing election results even in constituencies 
where voting had barely started, or where UPC had a clear lead. Members of 
the Commonwealth Observer Team did contact DP and warn Ssemogerere against 
such hasty announcements.
If you read their report, they mention that DP was declaring victory in 
constituencies where UPC had won or where voting was not yet finished. The 
report also says that DP admitted to this error. UPC had 22 unopposed 
seats. So there was no fear of a DP victory in my mind at all.
I had promised during the campaigns that if UPC wins, I would form a 
government of national unity. After I was sworn in on December 15, 1980, I 
invited Paul Ssemwogerere to State House Entebbe. He came with a number of 
his supporters. I put my proposal to him for a national unity government 
and he rejected it.
He told me that they were going to the high court to challenge the election 
returns. I had intended to share cabinet portfolios with the DP. I wanted 
Semogerere to name the portfolios they wanted, which I would discuss with 
UPC members. He refused the offer and the talks collapsed.
I did not call Mayanja Nkangi and Museveni because they both failed to win 
a seat in parliament.
UPM won one seat by default. Museveni had said during the campaigns that if 
UPC won the elections, he would go to the bush.
So I told him “You go to the bush, we will follow you there and we will 
stop you there.” Later he went to the bush but I never succeeded to stop 
him in the bush. I regret that very much.
Tomorrow in The Monitor, Obote gives a moving account of his second 
administration, and provides disturbing details about the atrocities in 
Luwero.

What did Kabaka Muteesa die from? This is your chance to make it public. 
Mutesa was a King of Buganda, and a Uganda president at a certain point, 
surely the cause of his death must be stated and publicly. The floor is 
yours.

On Lule I will not waste my time for we have asked you many times where he 
did his professorship and you have not answered, that means you do not know
