Sub counties in Nabilatuk have finalized the identification process of their area peace committee members and have submitted them to the district authorities for vetting.

This follows an earlier communication by the district over expiry of the current peace committee member’s term in office, prompting a call for selection of new members.

Nabilatuk district chairperson Paul Lokol says they received names of five area peace committee members from each of the 5 sub counties and the town council.

According to Lokol they will constitute a vetting committee that will scrutinize the capability of the candidates to ensure they are credible and trust worthy individuals with integrity to serve in the positions of peace committee members.

The area peace committee members are responsible for helping to keep foot on the ground as vigilantes, fostering peace in their communities and aide tracking of stolen animals alongside the UPDF.

Lokol noted that a team is on the ground to dig out information about the suggested members.

A peace committee member Adiaka Paul Amut was recently detained at Lolachat barracks over the escalations of raids between Napak and Nabilatuk district with suspicions that he was behind the raids.
