UPDF recovers guns, bullets and cattle wrastlers
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The deputy spokesman of the UPDF Lt Col. Deo Akiki confirms recovering 88 guns, 357 rounds of ammunition, 3114 heads of cattle and arresting 146 cattle wrestlers in their operations held in Karamoja.

The UPDF swang into action in Karamoja in January after receiving information that cattle wrestlers from Turkana in Kenya had attacked in parts of Karamoja to steal cattle.

This wave of attack by the Turkana follows massive disarmament campaigns by the UPDF against the Karimajong which left thousands with no gun.

The Karimajong used to use guns for protection and attacks during cattle wrestling within and outside the region.

The government of Uganda saw it wise to disarm the Karimajong to create peace and stability in the region. Though the government of Kenya declined to do the same act and this has seen the Turkana stage attacks against the Karimajong in Uganda.

In another development, the joint security team in Uganda is finding it hard to effectively stop illegal cross border movements between Ugandan citizens and those from neighboring countries.

Lt.Col Deo Akiki further says, the increased illegal cross border movements are common in porous borders naming Majanji in Busia, areas in Kabale and Kasese as being hard to effectively patrol.

As the security teams design new enforcement measures, the also warn masses to desist from cross over through porous borders.

“Any citizen caught crossing using porous borders will be arrested, quarantined and later face the law.” Says Akiki.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
