By Angela Nyakuni
Minister for Karamoja, Hon Agness Nandutu has warned Karimojong warriors against illegal guns, saying that if they don’t hand over the guns government will by force grab them.
“Hand over the guns to us or else we shall grab them from you by for force,” Minister Agnes Nandutu told Karamajongs
The newly appointed minister in charge of Karamoja Affairs seems to have started her new job in high gear. She says her first assignment is to make sure that all Karamajongs hand over the guns back to government and those who will prove to be big headed will face it rough because the government will use force to get the guns from them.
Nandutu says that the biggest part of the country is peaceful and therefore government cannot allow just a small portion of Uganda to be insecure because some people are illegally holding guns which they use to do illegal activities.
“The biggest part of this country is peaceful. The east, west, north. We cannot allow just a small section of people in the North East to make the place insecure. They will either give us the guns back peacefully or we shall use force to get them back.” She said
Nandutu adds that she has already had a discussion with President Museveni on how the exercise will he conducted. First by asking the Karimajongs to voluntarily hand over the guns back to government and then after a raid against those still hiding the guns is activated.
