President Yoweri Museveni has said he needs more time to study the issue of splitting Tororo district.
While addressing rallies in Tororo North and South this afternoon, Museveni said the issue has become deadly. He said the new district would have been created by now, but the two tribes; Itesot and Jopadhola who live in the area, are still in conflict over who would remain in control of Tororo municipality.
“Whenever the Badama meet me, they tell me we shall kill you if you don’t give us a district with our municipality. When the Itesot meet me, they also threaten me in the same way. Now, I request you to give me more time accompanied with your votes so that after the elections, we can completely solve the issue,” he said.
