Automated Blog Post.

 Crispus Ayena Odongo, former Oyam North County Member of Parliament in Oyam district has been jailed over failure to pay a total of shillings 146 million debts.

Ayena, the lead defense lead counsel to Dominic Ongwen, former Lords Resistant Army rebel commander currently undergoing trial at the Hague based International Criminal Court.

He was arrested on Thursday from Kampala  by the Court Bailifs from Spearlink Bailifs and Auctioneers on the arrest warrant issued by the Lira High Court.

Trouble for Ayena stemmed from an electoral petition which he had filed against Col (RTD) Charles Okello Engola, the State Minister for Defense and General Duties.

Ayena contested to retained his then position but lost to Engola whom he later dragged to Lira High Court challenging Okello’s academic qualification .

Lira High Court subsequently overturned Okello’s  election on ground that he did not posses the requisite academic qualification,  a decision that was again quashed by the Court of Appeal.

Okello  was later awarded about 146 million shillings cost.

On Friday evening, he was committed  to Lira Cenral Government Prison by the Lira High Court Assistant Registrar, Jenevieve Natukunda.

While delivering her ruling, Natukunda ordered that Ayena should pay shillings seventy three million shillings to secure his release but he failed to raise the required fund.

Col Engola told journalists that attempt to negotiate with Ayena proved futile for long  since he has been in hiding.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise.

It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa.

Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...
