Napak district woman MP Faith Nakut has called for immediate investigations into the continuous insecurity and killings in the different districts of Karamoja.

While speaking yesterday, Nakut said those killing innocent people in the sub-region should be apprehended and prosecuted in the courts of law.

She pointed out that the people of Karamoja should also enjoy peace and security that Ugandans in other parts of the country are enjoying.

Cue//…Nakut on killings

This follows a complaint raised in parliament by MP for Chekwi county Moses Aleper, who asked the minister of internal affairs to intervene in the ongoing killings of people in Nakapiripirit district by suspected Pokot warriors.

Aleper says over twenty people have been killed in a short period of time while over four thousand heads of cattle have been raided.

Karamoja development forum last week convened a Uganda - Kenya cross border peace and security meeting to seek new solutions to end the armed crime by developing appropriate strategies for coping with the challenges of conflict resolution in Karamoja and the neighbours in Kenya and South Sudan.

In his submission,KDF executive director Simon Longoli noted that rustling has triggered revenge and conflict amongst communities.
