Lokomol Daudi, a resident of Naryamatolim Cell, Lokitaleabu Town Council, handed over an SMG (No. 79551) with five live rounds of ammunition; Lokutu Lochubae, a resident of Kadokin Cell, South Division, surrendered an SMG (No. 10427) with two live rounds of ammunition while Lochu Loose Peter, a resident of Napong Cell, Lokitaleabu Central Ward, Lokitaleabu Town Council, turned in an SMG (No. 1977244449) with one live round.

“In line with existing security procedures, the three individuals were granted freedom as part of the government’s Amnesty Window initiative. This programme allows those who voluntarily surrender illegal firearms to be documented, receive voluntary disarmament cards, and participate in community programs,” reads the statement.

The initiative aims to support reformed individuals by improving their livelihoods and encouraging them to become peace advocates within their communities.

The recovery coincides with President Yoweri Museveni’s visit to the Karamoja sub-region to assess the impact of the Parish Development Model (PDM), a government programme designed to boost household incomes and promote socio-economic transformation.

“We continue to urge armed warriors in the region to take advantage of the Amnesty Window and surrender their weapons. The success of the initiative relies on the ongoing support of local governments and a multi-sectoral approach to achieving lasting peace in Karamoja,” added the statement.
