Museveni vows to end commercial cattle rustling,Seeks support of leaders on Karamoja insecurity.

President Museveni says the mutating crime, which has now turned commercial and involves an intricate network of criminals in the region is fueled by illegal guns and must be stopped.
He says, there is lack of orientation in many elements of the population of Karamoja who up to now have not appreciated the need for peace and prosperity.
He said whereas over 40,000 guns have been recovered through both peaceful and forceful means, many Karimajongs have continued to illegally own guns and have become a security threat.
Museveni vowed to end commercial cattle rustling and asked leaders in Karamoja to help change the attitude of their people through preaching prosperity.
Museveni noted, that through an intelligence led operation now rolled out by the forces in all the 9 districts of Karamoja (Moroto, Napak, Kotido, Nakapiripit, Kaabong, Abim, Amudat, Karenga and Nabilatuk) and targeting five groups including criminals with guns, those with bows and arrows, those with sticks to drive the cows, the collaborators who are in different districts but connected and linking up with the rustlers and any other suspects connected to the raids, they will not leave any stone unturned.
The UPDF 3rd division commander, Brig Gen Joseph Balikuddembe said since the launch of Usalama kwa wote operation in Karamoja and the neighboring districts a total of 106 guns and 82 rounds of ammunition. In addition, several suspects have been arraigned before Court while others are pending to appear before court martial.
