The commissioner commended the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) for their pivotal role in restoring stability and peace in the area. He highlighted the impressive agricultural productivity in Karenga, citing the abundant production of maize, sorghum, and other crops.

However, he noted that the region is still facing  some disturbances caused by individuals from neighbouring Kenya, who disrupt the tranquillity of the Karamajong people in Uganda.

The Chief Warden of Kidepo Valley National Park, Richard Muhabwe noted that there has been a surge in tourism owing to the region’s newfound stability. 

He attributed this positive development to the effective disarmament initiatives, revealing that the park now attracts around 10,000 visitors annually, both from Uganda and abroad.

Muhabwe underscored the park’s significant impact on the region, including the development of vital infrastructure such as schools and hospitals. He encouraged people from Uganda, East Africa, and beyond to visit and appreciate the national heritage, highlighting Kidepo Valley’s distinction of hosting the largest herds of buffalo in the world.

Samule Abukongimole Lobeka, the Chairperson LCV, Karenga district, commended the government’s efforts in implementing poverty eradication programs like the Parish Development Model and Emyooga, which have substantially improved the living standards of the people.

The event was attended by a host of dignitaries, including the Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs, Ms. Carol, the Assistant Warden Tourism, Mr. Okiring David, representatives from the Uganda Police, district local leaders, and the Karucunas community.
