{UAH} The minister made these comments at Makerere University while presiding over the launch of a book titled "Our greatest fear is the transition of power: an open letter to the president" authored by a Makerere University professor, Godfrey Sseruwagi.

Commenting on Sseruwagi’s work, Otafire said there wouldn’t be fear for transition of power in Uganda if there was fear for the constitution, as it (the constitution) lays down the procedure of transfer of power.

“In the constitution, power belongs to the people and they determine how power is transferred from one person to another. Nobody can take your power without your approval.”

The minister underlined that the greatest fear of the author should be “mal-observation of the constitution”, not transition of power.
