Matheniko County MP John Baptist Lokii has cautioned government and other stakeholders to brace for the consequences of the presidential executive order number 3 of 2023 issued on 19^th may 2023 that among others stopped Turkana from entering and grazing with in Uganda.

Loki argues that the Turkana have been hit hard by drought which has caused fear of losing their animals and lives and following the presidential directive, they can no longer access water and pasture from Uganda.

According to the MP, Turkana pastoralists are willing to come and die in Uganda or raid Ugandan cattle- should they lose theirs as a result of the drought.
