Elders in Kotido district have demanded that the troubled minister in charge of Karamoja Affairs to tender an apology over the Karamoja relief item scandal.


Mary Gorreti Kitutu, the minister in charge of Karamoja affairs is under investigations for allegedly diverting iron sheets that were procured to support the vulnerable groups and reformed warriors in the Karamoja sub region. The elders have condemned the alleged diversion of relief items saying the minister should apologize before the elders if she wants to survive curses.

John Bosco Akore, the secretary for Kotido Elder’s Council says that they had already prophesied the mismanagement of the iron sheets two weeks before the news about theft reached them. He said they are ready to forgive her if she repents but failure to do so, the curses will follow her and she will never have peace in life.

Sammy Ogwel, an Elder said the minister could have brought the relief and sold it to the people of Karamoja rather than failing to deliver completely.

On Wednesday, the members of parliament from Karamoja sub region submitted to the offices of the speaker and the Clerk to parliament a notice of motion to censure Mary Gorreti Kitutu the minister in charge of Karamoja Affairs.
