Kotido deputy RDC Magezi John Lukooki has revealed that there is relative calm registered in “Entebbe Area” Village, Kotido East parish in central division, Kotido Municipality.

The area is known for high levels of criminality like domestic violence, burglary, assaults, pick pocketing, drug abuse and alcoholism among others but Magezi says these have reduced due to the community based sensitizations.

Magezi has called on the other area LC 1s to rejuvenate the village vigilante system and the 10 household system in which residents watch over their security, saying this system has worked for major towns and if incorporated in Kotido municipality and the district at large, relative peace and calm would be realized.

The deputy RDC has also hinted that as head of security, they will engage security organs to corner those still playing cards and drinking alcohol during working hours in bars and smoking opium, saying these are the major escalators of criminality in the community.
