IPOD: Parties discuss Besigye-Saleh talks, political dialogue

Sources who attended the Jinja meeting told New Vision that Prof. Ogenga Otuntu, who is a close ally of Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho, aka Salim Saleh, also presented a paper on democracy and power-sharing dialogue. “Prof. Ogenga’s paper addresses Uganda’s recurring political conflicts and proposes a new power-sharing framework to end the country’s deep-rooted cycle of sectarian politics,” a top party leader said.

During the IPOD retreat, Bigirwa said opposition leaders also raised the talks geared at ensuring the release of PFF’s kingpins, Dr Kizza Besigye (Pictured), Erias Lukwago and Obeid Lutale, who are currently facing treason-related charges in court.
