Felix Kenyi Onama (born c. 1921;[1] died before 2002[2]) was a Ugandan politician, who served as a minister in the government of Milton Obote (1962–71).
[3] He served as leader of the Ugandan People's Congress (UPC) in the neglected West Nile District, holding political views described as "near reactionary", compared with radical parts of the party.
[7] Under duress, he agreed to many of their demands, including significant pay increases for the army, and the rapid promotion of many officers.
[3] Daudi Ochieng, from the Kabaka Yekka party, alleged that some members of the government including Felix Onama, the Prime Minister Obote and Idi Amin, had benefited financially from the sale of gold and elephant tusks from the Congo due to Uganda Army's operations in that country, all of which was contested by Onama.
By 1970 he was a large scale landowner,[3] and owned a bus line, which was nationalised alongside foreign businesses under the terms of the Nakivubo Pronouncement.
