Members of Parliament and Ministers are having Aruu County Member of Parliament Odonga Otto for ‘dinner’
This after an afternoon brawl between Acholi MPs; Anthony Akol (Kilak) and Odonga over land at Lakang, Amuru district.
Now, in a WhatsApp group chat, MPs and Ministers, members of the group (name withheld), high profile persons on the group are teething about the incident.
ROBERT MIGADDE, BUVUMA
But Hon. Otto, just a punch and you’re admitted when you even survived the Special Forces invasion.
Need to go back to the gym.
But how can the patient in the ambulance who disembarks from the back take photos of the same.
Hon. Maganda u need to explain this.
This is not the OO I know.
JULIUS MAGANDA, EAC MINISTER
You mean Hon Odonga just fell so easily without an attempt to punch back,…we have to investigate this, it’s rare of Otto.
Leave my patient, we are just confirming that OO is admitted, likewise, Hon Akol has placed OO at his best game, he will bring him down.
CHATS GENESIS
The followed news that Odonga was hit with a punch while the second one was grabbed by Gulu Municipality MP Leandro Komakech.
By the time of these exchanges, Odonga was busy online posting photos of himself while on his ‘hospital’ bed.
THE FIGHT
Akol reportedly approached Odonga in the lobby Thursday. He asked why Odonga was telling his voters not to vote for him.
Odonga was in Akol’s constituency at the weekend in a rally to address Lakang land wrangle when he incited voters against Akol.
Reacting, Odonga confirmed inciting voters, adding, Akol and his LCV Chairman sold off the said land to government at Shs300m.
Akol interjected saying it is his land that he sold.
Odonga is said to have said, he was jailed for protecting the said land yet an MP sold it. It is then that Akol’s first punch came in.
The second one was grabbed by Komakech. Against the above background, the police and the sergeant at arms called for an ambulance to rush Odonga to Nakasero after he dropped down miserably.
