Moroto Municipality council has today held an extra-ordinary session following the death of one of their councilors Anna Mary Nakoru.

The meeting was held at the Moroto district chamber hall aimed at hailing the work done by the fallen councilor in the last two years of service.

A motion to pay respect for the fallen Nakoru was moved by Hellen Kiyai woman councilor – Boma North and seconded by Mary Akwii the councilor representing the elderly persons.

Presiding over the session, Moroto Municipality speaker Abdullah Twaha expressed his sorrow at the death of Nakoru and he extended his deepest sympathy to the family of the deceased.

Twaha told the fully packed hall that Nakoru- an expectant mother was speared to death alongside her biological mother while working in the garden at Katanga village on April 27, 2023.

He described the attack as wicked to the innocent persons who were busy in the garden fending for their family and wondered how the assailant brutally murdered the mother and her daughter by a spear saying this was unacceptable.

The speaker said the death has caused a great loss to the people of Moroto and the families at large.

On the other hand, Mary Nachap- the deputy mayor Moroto Municipality described the deceased as an Iron lady, adding that she was bent towards developing the municipality.

On behalf of the late, Nachap begged the public to forgive Nakoru for any wrongdoings.

Speaking at the farewell of Nakoru, the Deputy Speaker Moroto Municipality Eveline Longok, said they have lost a colleague who was an asset to the council and she appealed to the family of Moses Lorika, the husband to be firm.
