Ojok Tye Kampala is the story of Captain Obic Wot’Omara-Omwodo-Lut-Kot, a former Captain in the Uganda National Liberation Army and commanding officer of Bombo Military Barracks. After the 1985 military overthrow of the Milton Obote II government by the General Tito Okello Lutwa Junta, Captain Obic fled to the village in Akokoro and life became very hard. He would spend time reminiscing about the good life he had before the coup and how he squandered his fortunes in voluptuous living. Obic has a cousin in Kampala called Ojok, who works with Roko Construction company, and he would drink on credit assuring the beer sellers that his cousin brother Ojok is in Kampala and will come and square up the bills.
