By Prossy Kisakye

MPs from Karamoja sub region have declared full support to the government in the ongoing operations to disarm castle rustlers in Karamoja Sub region saying they have started witnessing a sign of peace.

These led by the chairperson Karamoja parliamentary group Remegio Achia, applauded President Museveni and UPDF for reigning over the insecurity that have claimed lots of lives, but appealed to UPDF and police to change the strategy to minimize human rights violations in the disarmament operations.

In July 2021, security agencies launched the operation code named Usalaama Kwawote to restore stability in Karamoja Sub-region by dealing with cattle rustlers but MPs from Karamoja have had reservations on these operations until today.
