The state minister for ethics and integrity Rose Lilly Akello has urged Kotido district authorities to intervene in the boundary row that is between the UPDF’s 3^rd and the 5^th divisions.

This was after Ambrose Onoria -Kotido RDC during the iron sheets distribution launch informed the minister about the boundary rows between the two divisions calling for her intervention into the matter.

The row stemmed up following the killing of 3 Karamojong herdsmen who were gunned downed in Longaroe dam by soldiers deployed by the 5^th division.

According to Onoria, UPDF authorities at the 5^th division have continued to insist that Longaroe dam and Abim district are under their areas of operations.

Akello in response said the matter was also tabled before her by the UPDF 3^rd division authorities recently while in Katakwi district and urged Kotido district chairperson to visit the land office in Entebbe so that they can access a detailed map that stipulates the boundaries of the districts.

Akello says this will help guide them on the demarcations of the districts and it will address the issues of areas of operations for the two divisions.

Margret Aleper -Kotido district Woman MP also advised the district council to include the border demarcations into their discussions and come up with tangible solutions to prevent such incidences from happening in future.
