Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Vice President, Ms Jessica Alupo, has commended the army for managing to keep the warriors under check from raiding animals from Katakwi District.<\/p>\n

Mid this year, the Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces (UPDF) deployed additional forces in Katakwi and areas of Kapelebyong District following a spike in cattle raids by suspected warriors from Karamoja Sub-region.<\/p>\n

Ms Alupo, who is also the Woman MP for Katakwi, made the remarks on Saturday while handing over a Shs317 million grain bulking centre constructed by the Islamic Development Bank for Ongongoja Fruit Farmers\u2019 Cooperative Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaramoja is a centre of cattle raids. We thank you the army for prevailing over,\u201d Ms Alupo said.<\/p>\n

She also appealed to UPDF to continue securing roads established for tracking warrior movements in the border points.<\/p>\n

Mr Godfrey Katamba, the Katakwi Resident District Commissioner, said they have also managed to crack down on those who collaborate with the warriors, which he said explains the success that the army has registered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only challenge we have now is the poor network at the border points, which is still affecting security operations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Geoffrey Omolo, the Katakwi District chairman, said what is now needed are vehicles to ease movement and deliveries of food to the forces.<\/p>\n

He added that although the current calmness is commendable, hundreds of animals that were stolen are still missing.<\/p>\n
