"No One Is Safe" – Dr. Odonga Otto on Namere Arrest, Speaker Race, Museveni | Acoli Side TV

In this exclusive interview on Acoli Side TV, Hon. Dr. Odonga Otto speaks out forcefully on the arrest of Hon. Justine Namere, the treatment of Ugandan citizens by security forces, and the hidden link to the ongoing Speaker of Parliament race. Dr. Otto condemns arrests without warrant, detentions in non-gazetted places (basements, Nalufenya, Kitalya), and the violation of the 48-hour constitutional rule. He shares a deeply personal memory of his father’s arrest in 1984, warns that Uganda is losing civility, and says: "If this does not stop, some will go to exile, some to the bush." He also questions whether the crackdown signals that even children of senior presidential advisors (like Namere) are unsafe—and what that means for democracy under President Museveni’s current environment. Key topics covered: · Justine Namere arrest & Speaker race connection · Illegal detention beyond 48 hours · Gazetted vs. non-gazetted detention places · Forced language use as cultural genocide · Odonga Otto’s warning on exile & bush · Rule of law under Museveni’s 40-year rule 🔴 Watch to the end for his stark warning: "Mark my words – anyone breaking these rules won’t hold power for 5 years." 📢 Subscribe to Acoli Side TV for more uncensored political commentary from Northern Uganda.
