Otto attacks Mao over third term talk
By Apollo Mubiru
ARUU county Member of Parliament Otto Odonga has accused Gulu Municipality MP Nobert Mao for supporting a third term for President Museveni.
�It was a crazy statement from my colleague Mao to say that he wanted President Museveni to contest in 2006, so that he could have a serious challenger,� Otto said.
This follows Mao�s recent statement that he wanted the President to stand for the 2006 elections so that he could get a serious challenger.
Otto said Mao�s statement belittled him in northern Uganda and people had doubts about his credibility.
He said Mao was a lawyer who knew what the Constitution stipulated about presidential term limits.
Otto said Mao�s statement created an impression of multiparty activistists joining the pro-third term agitators.
He asked Mao to sensitise people about their constitutional rights so that they can choose a leader of their choice.
Otto said he would launch a report entitled �the bla
ck report� on the 15 May to expose the misery of people in camps. He appealed to residents to join him in a peaceful demonstration that day starting at the Constitutional Square.
He said the demonstration would end at the Parliament where the report would be launched.
Ends
