And do you know why they did not distribute guns
into Bunyoro for the Banyoro Bakiga conflict? For they are not biological
substance.

The Minister of State for
Environment, Lt. Gen. Jeje Odongo, has called upon all able-bodied youth in
Teso to report to their sub-county headquarters to receive arms to fight the
Lord's Resistance Army rebels.
Odongo, who also represents the Army in
Parliament, made the call during a rally at the Soroti Sports Ground
yesterday.
The rally by was organised by the Minister of State for
Health, Mr Mike Mukula, and resident district commissioners Edward Masiga
(Soroti), Max Omeda (Gulu) and Musa Ecweru (Kasese).
Odongo said that
each sub-county in Teso would receive 100 guns, with 15 sub-counties in
Katakwi district receiving 50 guns each.
"I am telling you that the war
against Kony's LRA invasion in Teso has just started. This is the time for the
sons and daughters of Teso, old and young, to fold their sleeves, tighten
their belts and buckle their shoes in readiness for war. It is a debt. It is
an enemy to be confronted," said Odongo, who was dressed in military
fatigues.
The general said that the LRA rebels are still active in Teso
- with a big force in the Nyada parish in Kapelebyong sub-county and Olwa in
Morungatuny sub-county in Katakwi district.
Morungatuny is Odongo's
birthplace and Olwa is 2km from his home.
The rebels, led by Mr Joseph
Kony, have been abducting and killing people in Teso since two weeks
ago.
President Yoweri Museveni has, however, said that the UPDF has
defeated the LRA in Teso, forcing the rebels to flee back to the
north.
Meanwhile, four suspected rebels that the UPDF paraded before
the rally have disputed earlier reports by Mukula that the LRA's second in
command 'Brig.' Vincent Otti was killed or seriously wounded in
battle.
The suspects said that they had not heard about or seen any top
LRA commander killed.
"'Brig.' Otti has never set foot in Teso and I
know him very well. He only used to come and address us in Acholi before we
came to Teso. I don't remember whether there was any battle in Teso where Otti
was wounded or killed," said one of the suspects, Mr Ray Okello.
Okello
claimed that the rebels abducted him early this year.
Okello said that
he escaped and surrendered to the army.
The other suspects; Mr Patrick
Okello, Mr Francis Otace and Mr John Bosco Okello also said that they were
abducted by the LRA.
The rally was mostly attended by school children,
something that annoyed RDCs Omeda and Ecweru.
The RDCs suggested that
shops in Soroti town should be closed if adults ignored a similar rally next
time.
