Orom sub-county authorities have issued a green light to Karamojong cattle keepers interested in grazing their animals in the sub-county during drought.

This follows numerous meetings involving elders, women, youth and local authorities from Orom in Kitgum district and Kacheri sub-county in Kotido district.

This development was after a delegation from the Orom sub-county met with their counterparts from Kacheri sub-county in Lotanyat camp to communicate guidelines and ascertain if the cattle keepers were willing to commit themselves to the set guidelines.

Orom sub-county chairman, Too-Odera Johnson Accellam has confirmed the development, saying the cattle grazers have committed themselves to the guidelines and as well, the sub county authorities met with the district leadership and the plan was okayed.
