President Museveni has promised to withdraw the army from the water bodies and hand over the administration of fishing communities to the"elders".
"The minister for Northern Uganda can coordinate them; the ones from this side, Nakasongola side and Busoga side, we shall have a conference and then we can remove the soldiers from the lakes," he added. The President on Tuesday called upon citizens to report soldiers who are extorting money from fishermen so that they are disciplined.
"That's why I was forced to bring in soldiers. I am the one who has proposed here that if the elders can come and take charge, "Your Excellency, our people in the fishing communities are requesting you to remove the military from the waters so that the local people can take charge themselves. These soldiers are extorting money from the fishermen," Hon. Ogong said.
"Now by the time I brought in the soldiers, all factories had closed except eight . And now when these people- the soldiers came in, even though they're making mistakes, the fish had come back somehow. Now 12 factories are working instead of eight.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
