Minister Omona says over 60,000 migrant herders' cattle removed from northern Uganda

Speaking at a community baraza in Pabbo Sub-County, Amuru District, State Minister for Northern Uganda Kenneth Omona said joint police and UPDF operations enforcing a presidential executive order had removed more than 60,000 cattle of migrant herders from northern Uganda, an estimated 85 per cent success rate. He also accused some Amuru residents of falsely claiming ownership of targeted cattle; residents at the meeting raised complaints of land grabbing linked to migrant cattle keepers.
