The Law is me and I am the Law Right from his secondary school days and perhaps earlier, he has exhibited a tendency to change rules and laws he does not like. If you read his Mustard Seed you get a clear character of a man that believes that rules do not apply to him. In exile and in the Moshi Conference he was fighting and ridiculing all those he did not agree with. Its in his book. He masterminded the overthrow and thwarted the uprising in support of Lules Government dubbed No Lule, No Work. He was a key player in the chaotic June 1979-December 1980 chaotic Government because he hated the rules. He went to the bush, to fight the Parliamentary Governance System, because voters had rejected him nationally and even in his native Nyabushozi. He never waited for the ink of the Nairobi Peace Accord to dry up before he tore it up because it would have required he shares power with people he deeply despised and hated. Legal notice No1, of 1986 was a new set of his own rules that ushered in the broad-based government. Soon Kayiira was jailed and then killed, Evaristo Nyanzi was locked up and the rest of the broad base was scuttled. The one-man has it all rule was established. The Odoki Commission was set-up, but against the advice of his own top commanders in Gulu, he restored the Kabaka even before the Constitution had been written. When the Constitution was written, he did not like some parts and he abrogated the constitution finally by removing term limits in 2005. From there he has been on attack and relentless attack. The Lord Mayor and now his own NRM party are his latest victim. To him the Law is him or nothing.
