Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Iteso cultural union cabinet has stepped down to allow the interim Emorimor Paul Sande Emolot and his team to operate independently and avoid causing rifts among the Ateker community.<\/p>\n

This comes after Mr Emolot and his faction held a meeting at the institution\u2019s premises in Soroti Town during which he was declared interim Emorimor last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He also appointed a cabinet, picking three members from the old one, who have since rejected the offer.<\/p>\n

The trio are Mr Ivan Engoru, institution\u2019s attorney general, Mr Peter Etyang, the deputy prime minister, and Mr George Opule, the finance minister.<\/p>\n

In a March 4 statement signed by the cultural institution\u2019s prime minister, Mr Augustine Omare Okurut, the old cabinet maintains that the cultural union does not have a legitimate council after the initial one was suspended by the late Emorimor Augustine Osuban Lemukol on July 14 last year over election irregularities.<\/p>\n

Mr Okurut also said the council could not take any valid decision since some of the attendees were handpicked associates of Mr Emolot.<\/p>\n

Grounds<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome of that illegal meeting is that the chairperson of council, Mr Emolot was installed as interim Emorimor, and following a motion, all cabinet members were relieved of their duty and a new team was constituted in which three members are alleged to have been retained,\u201d Mr Okurut said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDecorum demanded that we should have been invited and given the opportunity to defend ourselves as our national laws provide. We were condemned unheard, we leave that for history to judge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Okurut said in the run-up to the Wednesday meeting, Mr Emolot was invited for harmonisation talks to devise a mechanism for the succession but he never showed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cCabinet stands here not to apportion blame, we are not keen at display of might or to suggest that we are the sole embodiment of wisdom, we are not ready for legal contest, we shall stay clear of controversies, we reject any blackmail on us singly or collectively,\u201d the outgoing cultural institution prime minister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are, therefore, informing you, the Iteso people, the government and all our partners and collaborators that we have opted for the path that will leave the Iteso people united,\u201d Mr Okurut said, adding that they stepped down after consultations.<\/p>\n

He had been appointed the interim cultural head of the institution after the death of the paramount chief .<\/p>\n

Mr Emolot is expected to hold the interim position for six months, after which the election of the substantive cultural leader will be conducted.<\/p>\n
