    Aswa Ranch Give Away Is A Provocation- Prof Ogenga- Latigo

    The Chair of the Acholi Parliamentary Group, Prof Ogenga- Latigo has described government’s giving away of Aswa ranch as a provocation

    Prof Ogenga- Latigo, the Chairman Acholi Parliamentary Group (APG) has described a proposed plan by government to give away part of Aswa ranch to members of the ruling NRM party and private ranchers as a provocation of the Acholi people.

    Prof Latigo noted that if the government had  no sinister motive,  it would have not giveaway the ranch without consulting the Acholi people, whom he described as the rightful owners of the over 4,000 hectares ranch.

    Speaking recently on political talkshow on a local FM radio, Latigo said  that he had no doubt in his mind that  what the government is doing is meant to provoke  the Acholi leadership.

    The Agago North County (Agago district) told listeners that Acholi leaders under their Acholi Leaders Joint Forum, a loose coalition which follow up the matter.

    The legislator also accused the government of sitting on some of the issues raised by leaders from Acholi in  the past. He cited the demand for a share of oil resources as one such matter which hasn’t received a response from government despite it being put to President Museveni by Acholi leaders.

    On April 11, Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda told leaders from Acholi sub region led by the Paramount Chief Rwot David Onen Acana II that government intends to supply the cattle that are currently being bred at Aswa ranch to private beef processing company, the Egypt-Uganda Food Security Company, according to sources that attended the meeting.

    The new private beef processing company found along Bombo road in Luweero district was opened by President Yoweri Museveni late last year.

    The Paramount Chief, Rwot Acana II, expressed worry that Acholi leaders were being prevented from visiting the ranch. Rugunda responded that access to the ranch has been restricted and that leaders who want to visit should consult government.

      This is not a matter of consulting the Acoli people, the government is a thief – that same government put the entire population into a concentration camp because of a motive to steal their lands. Museveni is a thief. All small communities are becoming endangered all over the country – where is the protection for the people as a nation? Museveni ki Mirine ni gin ducu lutal. Ada peke. Tungicel gikelo yat me gwero i kom lwak ka nyayo two wek ojwik wel dano wek gima ngom. Lujok nino gi tye ma gibia ki i wi kom.

      Kawumu Village in Luwero,acted as a base where Rebels(NRA) met and passed various documents relating the code of conduct by Fighters.WHEN are we going to get ours?

      They(Museveni and NRA High Command),the Army Council and the Sympathizers(Luwero People)
      help them win their War,It was also Museveni’s Central Point of living to get Guns .WHERE is Ours?

      In order to make Aswa Ranch a Demonstration Farm ONE DAY for Ktgum and Gulu and Acholiland let us NOT ABUSE MUSEVENI AND HIS ACTIVE NRA in UPDF(Wolf in the Sheep ).

      Please read Museveni’s true colors in: “Museveni: Time to liberate rural land from human beings” where he says
      “On the issue of land in the tropics, it is important that we urgently liberate rural land from human beings. The populations looking for farmland are cutting down trees, invading wetlands and forests and silting the existing water bodies like lakes and rivers.”
      Now you know why the VACCINATIONS, war in South Sudan (M7 destroying Nilotic possible connections), War in the North, Stealing Aswa Ranch etc. Acholi never signed the Baganda/Uganda agreement of 1900. Acholi never agreed to the forceful evacuation in order to create the Murchison Game Park (from which they benefit nothing and soon to be privatized to Indians) nor did they sign away Aswa Ranch land to any body. PLEASE SHOW us any documents to that effect. Any land should only be privatized BACk to the Acholi Kingdom.

      https://www.hli.org/resources/exposing-the-global-population-control/
      The primary purpose of U.S.-funded population control efforts is to maintain access to the mineral resources of less-developed countries (ACHOLI OIL and fertile land (Microsoft is even buying land in Africae)etc, or LDCs. NSSM-200 says that the U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.

      Reply:
      APG and The KKK should tell so called “UGANDA” to show them signed documents by any Rwot or latela granting any rights to the BRITISH Invaders, land in Acholiland. Lamogi fought them- this is evidence enough of resistance to colonialism and proof that the whole charade of nationhood is illegal. Leave Acholi land to the Acholi.
