Ministry of internal affairs has been asked to tighten security in Karamoja region to avoid the re occurrence of cattle rustling. The call was made by Kween district woman MP Lydia Chekwel while speaking on the floor of parliament.

She said that since the disarmament program the rustling reduced but these days cattle thieves have again come, which is unfortunate. She says that security organs in the area are complaining of having problems like limited funds and therefore they need governments help.

The acting leader of government business, David Bahati, ordered the ministry to immediately act to see that there is security in Karamoja region. He however noted that government is committed to ensuring peace in the region and therefore the ministry will act.
