The Chairperson of the Karamoja Parliamentary Caucus Remigio Achia castigated UPDF for criminalising the entire region, saying such an attitude has led to the loss of over 3,000 law-abiding citizens and thousands of children forced into destitution in the streets or urban centres.
The Pastoralism Policy, according to the group, was proposed during the Africa region level meeting in 2010. Members note that since then the draft has remained in the custody of the Agriculture ministry and not distributed to stakeholders for debate.
