The situation involving MP Anthony Akol, Dr. Odonga Otto, and Francis Zaake highlights significant tensions in Uganda's political scene. This particular story revolves around allegations of a 500-million-shilling land deal in Amuru District, accusations of misconduct, and physical altercations between MPs. In recent history, Akol has been involved in contentious incidents, including a physical fight with Zaake during a parliamentary debate on the National Coffee Amendment Bill. This altercation, captured on video, led to injuries, Zaake's hospitalization, and subsequent legal threats against Akol for assault and battery. Akol, however, maintains that his actions were in self-defense, blaming Zaake's alleged provocations. Previously, Akol and Otto clashed over claims related to land deals, with Otto accusing Akol of selling community land to the government. This feud also escalated to physical confrontations, further raising concerns about the conduct of Uganda's legislators in managing disputes. These incidents not only shed light on unresolved land disputes and parliamentary discord but also raise broader questions about governance and ethical leadership in Uganda. The public and civil society have called for improved conflict resolution mechanisms and professionalism among MPs to ensure such disputes do not undermine legislative duties…
Well said Mr. but this incident shouldn't involve civilians and tribalism like you mentioned, what happened in parliament should be handled and settled by the parliamentary chair otherwise vise versa, Some of the indigenous people in central uganda might misbehave against the Northerners like you said coz of their member of parliament being a victim but they should also know that their people are living and also married in Northern uganda as well, so the issue should be dissolved amicably....
We as Acholi community need to refrain from fuelling issue which can be sorted out in a simple way. The praises we give to Akol and all accusations being labelled on him are extremely useless. I am not understanding why politicians are failing to balance this case which is cristal clear. All the two MPs are on the wrong. They never exhitied what is expected of them as the elected Honourable Members of Parliament. Akol purposely went to attack Zaake by sitting on the position which his colleague was occupying. To support my claim, Akol put all his phones on the floor in readiness for fist fight when Zaake was demanding his position. Zaake never conducted himself as honourable member who was contributing to the floor of parliament. His remarks were irritative which led to switching off his microphone. Had Zaake not pushed Akol who has been praying for a fight, he would have not received the blessings. Both of them participated in creating violence in Parliament. Akol is not the first MP to fight in Parliament. Let us stop bias judgement. To me, I am accusing Anita Among for not upgrading the parliament to a level which each seat is given a constituency name in order to avoid such primitive behaviour in the house which all citizens respect as the source of the Law of the land. Anita should think deep here to avoid another hooliganism in Uganda Parliament. My take
The truth is that Akol acted badly and that will create a very big rift between Acholi and Baganda.Akol please apologize to the Baganda and clear our imagine.
He is objective and truthful, Akol to accept his uncontrollable emotion, as a leader not use his personal weakness and tribe to as self defense. He is not the king of Acholi to punch in the name of Acholi. A self reflective question is, Did Hor Zake really said "stupid Acholi" or is the fabrication of Akol. Who heard it. Was that seat for Zakhe or Akol. If mps don't have specific seats, who was the first to occupy that chair. From observation Akol appears to be on self defence. Analytical from tbose who understand the sitting at paliament Akol need to accept his weakness as a leader of northern mps and his constirutiency
Parliament is not a fighting ground but is where law is scrutinized for the betterment of the country. Is a big same. What does it take for for current citizens and Ugandan in the future
Odongato should watch the movie very well omera about the behind you May be right but about the issue of Zaake pliz. Kede kailok ma ber kumene Acholi ob kwero including me.
Hon Odonga Otto if Hon Akol is ur tribe mate get him home and talk to him as brothers hatred will take u people nowhere have not liked your speech against your friend Thank you!
Rewatch the video from the start in the parliament before commenting . I for one I don't support any one for the barbaric misacting in the Ugandans meeting parliament
Please,am Isaac,Acholi and baganda should remain united, let's leave Akol an zaaki hiso in the hand of judiciary,Akol should leave Acholi Alone, don't involve Acholi into your problem, I have had you have said zaacki said stupid Acholi,if zaaki said stupid Acholi let the palament produced the voice or the audio for zacki ,to prove Akol , my humble request to baganda is not to involve the alls Acholi into this Akol war, thanks
All this are politics. Labongo ki kipir. If your brother did wrong he will held accountable in court. Don’t use the names of all acholi and other we were not in parliament
Hahahahahahahahahahha i can see what bosmic was talking and still talking up to date is coming to past. Bosmic is a prophet . Acholi wu Yap wang wu ki eit Wu I kom Lok pa bosmic mo keken.
Hon Odonga, you are right. Akol's act is barbaric and shd not be supported by any Acholi. He is now trying to sanitize his act by dragging the Acholi to his barbarism. He shd apologies to Zake, Acholi community, and to Ugandans at large.
Odonga Otto is the Best❤ and Zaake's haters might use the Opportunity to do the Unseen, then Akol is finished. Education & Knowledge is the Key He last fought in 1984😂
Otto , you are full of bull crap. Zaake is in the wrong here. Zaake made a mistake, when he physically used force against Akol so has to Unseat Akol from the seat. The act by Zaake constitute a charge of is battery and therefore resulted in an altercation. I’m troubled by those wanting to bring in tribal sentiments in a bad behavior of the two person. When the video shows it very clearly what occurred. it is very annoying when someone takes over your seat unknowingly but you have three choices; one go along eject that person from the seat; two ignore and find a seat some where else; or contact the responsible people to come and eject that interloper from your seat.,

This is very true Hon Odonga Otto. Big up Dr Otto. Reload and come back in another style.
Akol must learn to control his emotions.
Odonga has spoken so well. Thanks Hon.
Akol needs to style up. We need some emotional intelligence always. Especially for such a leadership position
Akol is educated but not learned odonga you are very very systematic in your point I love your message keep teaching arrogant politician
Good advice Odonga Otto.We need to control our temper.Diplomacy wins everything.Thanks for the insight
Odonga otto you're a great leader, Akol absolutely wrong. A normal person can't fight Zaake
Exactly this is not an acholi issue. It is Akols lack of proper judgement
You are right bro,,go ahead

Well said Dr. Odonga Otto, fighting can't solve issues. Hon Akol Should apologize to Hon. Zaake to calm down the situation.
Zaake should start apologising to Akol
Odongato should watch the movie very well omera about the behind you May be right but about the issue of Zaake pliz. Kede kailok ma ber kumene Acholi ob kwero including me.
What did Acholi parliamentary group response to the act of their own chair person.
Hon Odonga Otto if Hon Akol is ur tribe mate get him home and talk to him as brothers hatred will take u people nowhere have not liked your speech against your friend Thank you!
Wrong is wrong whether done by or against your very own. It's very stupid to think that it's only wrong when its done against your own!
Odonga sold Acholi ,now see he is out of the country coz of corruption 😅😅
Rewatch the video from the start in the parliament before commenting . I for one I don't support any one for the barbaric misacting in the Ugandans meeting parliament
