Police have warned to forcefully evict defiant cattle keepers who have defied the Presidential Executive orders of moving their cattle out from the Acholi regions.
Last month, President Museveni extended Executive Order No. 3 for the third time for the eviction of the cattle keepers, commonly known as the Balaalo, to November 25 from the initial October 20 dateline.
According to the President’s directives, the eviction of Balaalo cattle keepers will kick off with those occupying the government land.
In Acholi, government lands being occupied by the cattle keepers include Lakang Sub-County, the Central Forest Reserves of Kilak, Wiceri, Keyo, Labala, Aswa Ranch, and Atiak.
The Police Political Commissar, ACP Hadijah Namutebi says that the police is ready to support the army in the implementation of the expulsion of herdsmen who will defy the Presidential Executive orders.
